Can You See Me?
11 Nov
Thanksgiving last year, at Nina Bay Farm, the herd of Black Angus cattle sold at auction. The rest of the herd of burros found a new home. The surrounding fields are leased for cattle grazing.
These burros are what remain of the herd. I call the two on the right Jack and Jill. Jack is two weeks old. Jill is five months old (born June 1 and is featured in the top photo).

The make over for the landscape will be honeysuckle free and feature natural “rocky top” ledges and outcrop. Do you see it? An artifact: brick barbecue. We plan to have wild flowers popping up in spring. Like these:
Work in Progress! Low maintenance perennials featuring iris (state flower of TN) and day lilies, plus peonies, hostas and hollies.

Friday Photos: New Coat
29 DecBlue-eyed Buddy Boy has a thick winter coat!
And a blue knitted blanket just his size.
And new accommodation in the former dairy barn.
YES! Close to the wood burning stove!
The mower barn was drafty! And the hay barn is not the same since it was rebuilt after the fire in July.
HAPPY NEW YEAR ya’ll

How perfect!
We found “Eve” on Christmas Eve 2006 in the cattle trailer on Nina Bay Farm. Apparently someone was depositing kittens in trailers parked at the Sale Barn a couple of days earlier. How’s that for a strategy to find homes for animals?
Eve did not have an opportunity to climb a Christmas tree in 2006. She did climb Christmas trees the next two years. The tree did not fall over.

Blue-eyed Buddy Boy (update)

Buddy Boy
I introduced Buddy Boy in July, when he was found after being missing 21 days following a barn fire. He is well. Though he may prefer rolls of hay in the winter, presently he resides in the mower barn.

Prayer shawl for hospice care
7 Mar
Prayer shawl
I love the concept of knitted prayer shawls. Knitting is a meditative endeavor that naturally pairs with prayer. During this year’s season of Lent, I will make three prayer shawls as requested for hospice care. The yarn I have in my stash is Lion Brand Wool-ease which is a Lamb’s Wool blend with acrylic. This scripture came to mind:
“Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world.” John 1:29
This color #232 is named “Wood”…hummm…wooden cross. The pattern repeats the number ‘three’ for the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
The symbolism I just wrote about is lost on Eve, office assistant. She thinks this project is just her ‘size’.

Priority: Days for Girls International
10 Jan
Yes, dear Eve (office assistant) we are ready to ship liners and pads to the Days for Girls International Chapter in Iowa…but the box is not BIG enough.
FYI Elfcroft’s 2016 contributions were included in kits assembled in Iowa then distributed to communities in Uganda, Ghana, Haiti and Swaziland.
Our first 2017 shipment has 320 tri-fold, reversible, top stitched flannel pads….
Featuring bold, bright, varied color and patterns
Plus Liners (stacked 10 high) with polyurethane laminate or PUL middle and pockets to insert folded pad. Wings will have a snap installed at assembly location.
These components are put in draw string bags with (2) pairs of panties, wash cloth, soap, and (2) ziplock gallon size freezer bags to help washing. The design intention is for each kit to be reused over a three-year time frame.
Just one of many reasons Days for Girls International is so important…
