We had a very busy weekend getting some of the fall trees cut up and taken away and David wanted to get last years manure pile spread on the field that has all the corns stalks on it, to help fertilize it for our next years grass crop. This is the first time David has used the manure spreader since we bought it so I got quite a laugh as he engaged the spreader mechanism and it started to spread the manure which went in all directions including David's and not having a cab on our tractor everything got a dose of fertilizer, thank goodness for automatic washing machines.
As you can see the tractor got more that Dave, but I think he got his fair share too, he asked if I would like to try it out I declined rather quickly and made a run for it back to the house and started doing some wet felting.
The picture shows Romney wool, which I have layered in different directions and is now ready for the wetting process, then it will be rolled to felt it and finally washed and left to dry.

Glad to see things are working out, hope to hear more of your adventures with the farm and sheep. Keep warm this winter, am curious as what you are up to with the felt?
