today

Fall is beginning to arrive- we are in the midst of pumpkin season, breeding sheep, setting out mums, setting up displays around the house announcing that summer has left. Days and nights are cooler - the taste of beef stew, chili and pumpkin bread sounds appealing. My studio is showing signs of witches and santas.
Next weekend, a blessing of the sheep will happen at a local winery which purchased 4 of our sheep( a ewe and 3 lambs). I am working on wonderful sheep miniature gifts to give to those in attendance to remember this event.
This Saturday is also the celebration of NAME Day- were members of NAME will get together and build a very special hutch. My local club will be joined by guests from the Louisville club for a fun day of friendship.
