A blog about farm life, spinning, my yarn dyeing, weaving and markets. I live with my husband on a small farm near Ballarat. I have sheep, mostly English Leicester as well as dogs, ducks, chooks and a cat.

Ready for Chilly Nights
This week I have made new beds - for the dogs. I buy hessian sacks and fill them with wool. I keep wool at shearing time that I'm not going to spin, wash and dry it. Then I have a great filling for the beds.
The dogs will play tug of war with the beds. They will take them out of the kennels to have a nap on a nice afternoon. Then we have to make sure the beds are back in the kennels before any rain. Eventually the dogs will make a small hole, which becomes bigger and bigger. Then we need to have a big clean up after all the wool filling has been removed in another game. And then its time for new beds.
This morning is rather cool for a change. Dogs do not want to get out of bed. I'm sure thy are very cosy.
