Well as life goes by the kids grow up, get married and start new lives that don't include sheep and goats. My Allison is still home but a few years ago she decided she wanted to sell out of the livestock that we kept at the farm. We did give away all the rabbits but two angoras that were mine personally. I decided I could do a few rabbits for myself, because cute fuzzy babies make me happy.
I have had my share of health related problems that have kept me from doing all that I would like to but I am able to do a few things that make me happy. I still play with wool, angora and other fibers that I have bought from others that grow their own in MI.
A while back I could no longer treadle my spinning wheel. This was devastating. Allison found me an electric spinning wheel that we purchased so I could still do some spinning. I also have taken a liking to making amigurumi toys and stuffed animals. This has kept me busy but I recently had surgery done on my ankle and I am very hopeful that after healing I will be able to use my spinning wheel again.
