Waiting for sunshine

Sunday June 14, 2009 -
Welcome to the new Painter Hill website - almost as pleasant as Painter Hill Farm itself. The sun is shining on northeast PA this morning, and I trust it will dry up some of the soggy muck left by several days of dreary rain. Tomorrow is the semi-annual event known as shearing day; with the help of a couple of strong-backed high school boys we will take the wool off the ladies (and a couple of gents). This is best done when the sheep are dry, but getting them dry is not quickly done since they don’t like the sun and are always looking for a place in the shade. The shearer will just have to deal with it as best he can, and so will we when we’re skirting damp fleece. We’re late with the shearing this spring, because we had an event here for some people who like our yarn, and we wanted them to see the sheep in full fleece. We will next skirt the fleeces and send them to a mill for spinning into yarn for our blankets. Lots to do, but pleasant work and a good place to do it.
