A Few Updates

I have updated my 100 Things About Me page. The most obvious change is that I removed the Tagboard. Spammers absolutely will not take a hint, and I am not publishing my blog in order for it to be free advertising space for spammers! *Insert not so nice words of your choice here* Also, my list of 100 things was old and outdated (it was done somewhere around 2003-2004), so I revised that too. Not completely, and I could still work on it some more, but it's closer now.

We have had five lambs so far this year, and there are pictures on the camera that one of these days soon I will post. Honest. We lost one lamb, and that was discouraging, but they are all wonderful lambs. All ewes but one, and the colors are great. The last one is a little tiny ewe lamb that was less than 2 pounds at birth, and she is doing great - bouncing all over the place and playing with the big lambs although she almost looks tiny enough to be their baby.

My grandmother passed away February 23rd, and I have been out to California. I'm back now. Her funeral was on March 3rd, and I would have had class on March 4th, but the schedule was revised and I was free to go when I needed to.

Since moving to Cedar City a year and a half ago, I have been seriously neglecting my fiber arts. I always knit, and have rarely been without at least one WIP (work in progress) for more than a few days at a time, but my spinning wheel has not been used more than a couple of times, and all I have done with my processing equipment is demonstrate it. I am hoping to have more time this summer to revive some of that. Work and school schedules and other stuff (being a workaholic?) have kept me from being able to attend fiber guild meetings, but there is a weaver's guild here, known as Second Saturday, so that we can remember when they meet. Tomorrow, weather permitting, I am off to my first guild meeting in nearly two years. I do miss our guild in Vernal, the Fibre Outlaws. If any of you are still reading, warm greetings to you all!

(Do we say that in English, or am I overgeneralizing the Norwegian greeting, "varme hilsner til alle?")

Warm would be nice. It has been around 13 degrees farenheit in Cedar City today with lots of snow that is supposed to keep going for about four days, and is also hitting St. George (where the guild meeting is tomorrow). I took a picture of our car that we forgot to put in the garage last night, but it is still on the camera. I need to work on pictures tomorrow afternoon and get that one up too. No, they didn't cancel school. We don't do snow days in Utah. Even when the snow plow deposits three feet of snow in your driveway, as happened in our case this morning, we are still expected to carry on with business as usual.
