Sisters' Visit

My sisters were visiting earlier this month and we were out talking. Absinthe hung around - you would have thought she was listening, but she was actually hoping for a treat. I gave her my hair bow, so she could see us.

I can't take photos of myself and I don't photograph well, when I am posing. It is better to catch me in action. Some of the photos, which I will NOT share, had me looking like an old hag. So, when we were out in the workshop and I started mixing dyes in the pot, "Witches Brew" became a perfect title for this shot.

The sign I ordered from Oregon arrived while my sisters were visiting, so I can finally include a photo. They said that it represents all I do. Next time you come to visit, take time to check it out. I will gladly pass his info on to anyone who is interested in unique artwork. I know it is cool, because Marc had just filled in the holes and one of my neighbors, who was driving down the road, did a double take and backed up to check it out.

It is still pretty hot here in Tucson. I spent over an hour locking up goats based on breeding criteria on Sunday and then decided to let them out this afternoon. They were too hot and I don't want to go buy more fans. My friend, Judy, helped me round up two of the older does who were beating up on other does. I doubt that any of the bucks are fertile with it so warm. I know that the does are in heat and the males are not showing any interest. At this rate, all of next year's babies will be born later than last year. I don't expect any till early March and possibly later. Is this the greenhouse effect?
