A little bit about Tall Spruce Farm...

I live on a quarter section of kind of crappy, kind of good, land, a few miles outside of a tiny village nestled against Riding Mountain National Park.  When I look out my west-facing windows, I see the Manitoba Escarpment.  Which we call mountains.  There are no mountains.  When I first moved out here, I was excited to see them from the other side...guess what?  There IS no other side! It's all rolling [beautiful] farmland until you see a panoramic vista open up before you, and you are going DOWN...and then you're back in farmland. But it's what is on that down slope that's so wonderful.  The trees, and valleys, the wildlife...but I digress...
On our farm, we have about 70 ewes.  I work part time, and my husband works full time...our kids are young adults now, so we're in that transition. Each of our kids owns their own sheep, so any work that needs to be done should, theoretically, be done by each of us...right?  Well, that usually works. 
I am a devoted Christian, and we attend a small church in our town.  Some of my blog posts will relate to this. Some of them will be about my adventures in wool processing, spinning, knitting, dyeing. etc. And some will be about country life, a subject I am passionate about.
Just to whet your curiosity - the next post will be about the first and last of these...
