While I'm partial to butterflies of all sorts and sizes, I have a special fondness for hummingbird moths. I heard the distinctive buzzing as I walked around the back of the Wool House dye garden and was able to locate this snowberry clearwing moth working on some zinnias.
Bees, butterflies and actual hummingbirds love zinnias. I do too :-).
It looks like you've been exploring in the barn again!
"Yeah, maybe. How'd you know?"
It's not a puzzle. Look at your messy face!
This picture does make a fun puzzle though. Enjoy!
Pinot loves his outdoor run around time and is currently obsessed with exploring the barn. He still briefly checks in with some of his garden haunts, but I think he likes visiting the sheep and he loves to climb on the lower hay bales.
Other than two fairly recent dreams that finally involved sheep, the only animals I've ever dreamed about that I can remember have been bears. So, up until the last few months, I sort of assumed my "spirit animal" was actually a bear.
My spirit animal is surely a sheep. I like I'd like to lay around and take naps, hang out with my friends, listen to stories, go out to graze, visit the farm ponds, eat cookies, cuddle up with a sheep friend in the winter, wear wool sweaters...
Us sheeps ain't lovin' this summer.
Yeah...
Interestingly, most of these pictures could do with some cropping, but every time I tried they immediately felt too close and too hot. Sort of like when Archie tries to lay on your lap when it's 94 degrees. Every day. For the entire month of July.

I doubt anyone was actually planning on hitting the Bluegrass Yarn and Fiber Crawl Trail to come out to the farm this Wednesday evening (Heck, even I don't want to visit the farm when it's this hot :-o), but if you dare, we'll all be here sitting in front of our fans.
It looks like Thursday might be a little better though, so I'm adding in that evening as well.
