Sunday Stills - Going Buggy

It's time to get down and dirty with the insect world. If spiders and bees are not your forte try butterflies and lady bugs. :-)

Actually I do like spiders and bees but I took these pictures a couple of years ago and am happy to finally have a good time to share.

A lovely big luna moth resting on the trunk of a black walnut tree about three feet off the ground. What a treat!!

So. fuzzy. Must resist urge to pet!

For more Sunday Stills.....

At Nistock Farms we're Knee Deep in Sheep

I'm frequently reminded by my dear husband that when we got married in 1990 and I brought my little flock of fiber sheep to the family farm, they were supposed to be "just for me, you know, to spin with and be pets". Over the years circumstances changed, as circumstances do, and the flock has evolved to nearly 100 ewes and rams (not counting lambs), and taken over the big dairy barn. We work hard for them and they work hard for us. We have a widely varied handspinning flock including white, black and moorit crossbreds of Border Leicester, Romney, Finn, Rambouillet and CVM, and our wonderful purebred heritage breed, Cotswolds. We raise our own corn and oats, bale the hay and straw, cut mountains of firewood for the house and workshops, can and preserve, stretch fence, dig ditches, pour concrete, build stuff, plant crops, do plumbing, wiring, welding, and anything else that needs doing. We're born and bred Farmers. You never know what the heck is gonna happen...... If you'd like to see all the sheep and wool products available from the flock, take a look around our website. http://www.nistockfarms.com/
