Snow Day!
Mood:  happy
Now Playing: "Love My Way" by the Psychedelic Furs

The local school system must have been thinking that sending small children to school in a snow storm that is supposed to turn to freezing rain and ice would be a bad idea, so we have a snow day today! I love snow days as much as my kids do, as it is an excuse to get a fire going in the woodstove (which I do anyway, every day), watch cartoons, and be somewhat lazy. Although my day today will be filled with writing reports (hey, when you work at home, you really can't take a day off with the excuse "I couldn't get out of my driveway!"), I'll still find some time to do something fun with my boys.

Tuesday night was spinning guild. While I was excited about the prospect of getting out, I wasn't too keen on spinning the lovely corriedale roving that I've been spinning for months now. Although I've hardly been spinning at home, the lovely Luna fleece from True North Farm that I bought several years ago is calling out to me. I have to dig that out of the barn, and start on that. I need to do it justice, in Jimmie's name.
But it was nice getting out, and seeing old friends and new ones. Webs is having a spinning day at the shop on Saturday to promote spinning. Marcy, Deanna and I will be there for at least 4 hours, so feel free to stop by and join us.

Tuesday also found me clipping down my favorite little buck, Chunky Monkey. CM was a joy to clip; once he figured out that he WAS staying on my lap, he settled in, and relaxed for the duration. This is a very good thing, as new bunnies that learn that shearing is not to be fear go on to be docile adults at shearing time. CM joined his siblings back in the cage, looking no worse for ware. His litter mates will join me in the house within the next week for their own shearings.
