Juniper Moon Farm

My creation

It’s lambing season at Juniper Moon Farm just outside Charlottesville Va.  My friend Shepherd Susie (aka Susan Gibbs) is up to her eyes in adorableness.

(The above pictures of lambs and kids are of from a few years ago)

As of today (the 16th)  there have been 10 new babies… you can CLICK HERE and HERE to watch them on the 24/7 Lambcam. If you time it right you might get to see a little one or two being born.

CLICK HERE to see the latest blog updates on the new arrivals.  Warning, sugar and sweetness overload ahead.

Juniper Moon Farm was the first yarn and fiber CSA in the country.  If you’re not sure what that is CLICK HERE to find out, it’s easier than me trying to explain it :)

Enjoy moseying around the links below :)

A few years ago along with my daughter Deb, her dog Chappy and two dog friends, we went walking in the Tisbury/W Tisbury woods of the Martha’s Vineyard Land Bank Commission.

While the 4-legged walkers sniffed their way through the woods I let my eyes feast on the beauty. Looking down I saw this beautiful green mossy growth…

Raising my eyes a bit there was …

And finally, looking skyward and spotting something nestled among the trees !!  Do you see it – is it a bird, is it a plane !!

I’m looking forward to my next walks on the Vineyard… there’s no better place to stretch your legs and your paws.

Like many towns in New Jersey, my town of

Denville

was hit hard by flooding from hurricane Irene.

Today the St Francis Residential Community hosted its fall festival and is generously donating 50% of its proceeds to those affected by the massive flooding.
