Ok, so I realize it has been almost ONE WHOLE YEAR since I’ve updated this site. wow. Well, not quite, but still,… so, what’s been happening in Frankie World? Oh, quite a bit. I just don’t get the time to sit down and update this blog, so, I’ll give you a brief re-cap:

The project for 2019-2020 is the studio addition. Wench has been dyeing yarn and roving in the house kitchen, and finds it pretty inconvenient to stop at 4 o’clock, put everything away, clean the kitchen so she can make dinner. Of course this has prompted her to pretty much stop making dinner, but that’s another story… the kitchen in the house should be for food preparation, not yarn dyeing. So, builder, doing what builders do, decided (with a little prompting from wench) to put an addition on the studio.

This is the beginning. Builder doesn’t do anything half way, so the end result will be beautiful. Currently, they are down to buying the cabinets for the kitchen and doing some trim work; then hopefully by spring, it’ll be move in time, and things can get back to normal around here (what’s normal? I don’t think I’ve ever seen that)

This is the first floor looking into the addition

Anyway, in farm news, it’s pretty much the status quo around here. We may be having a few kids this spring, I’m pretty sure Carmella, Grace and Petunia are in the family way. Not sure about anyone else though, it is sort of beyond the scope of my responsibilities. My job is just to show everyone whose the boss around here. Rabbits have opted out of the whole baby thing lately. Wench started breeding in September and so far - zip.

Of course wench’s obsession, the fiber fest, is moving right along, and that’s why we are hoping to have the addition done by May. The volunteer squad comes from all over the place and hopefully they will have somewhere to sleep now instead of camping out on the floor of the tiny house. Glamping. A roof over your head, but primitive. I think those ‘kids’ can live with that!

I hear there is another doggo coming our way in a couple of weeks. Reba the diva. A (red fox) yellow lab. She won’t come to the barn until she’s had her last shots on February 13th, but I will look forward to showing her who's the boss around here, too. A Chief Executive Goat’s work is never done

That’s the brief update. I’ll promise to do better in keeping you updated, but, you know how that goes. Look for wench this weekend at the Statesville Quilt show… and for now, thanks for reading frankly speaking!
