Ewe & I Farm  is headed to the 43rd annual NH Sheep & Wool Festival next weekend, May 11th & 12th, in Deerfield, NH. https://www.nhswga.org/nh-sheep-wool-festival

All our fleeces, roving, yarn and knit goods are slowly making their way into the horse trailer. So, nothing will be available until the show, or after if not sold in Deerfield.

It may take me a week or two after the show to get everything back into the house, and into the new wool room downstairs, as I am still dealing with the ankle.

The ankle is healing slowly. The hardware was removed April 5th. leaving a baker's dozen of holes in the bones. The surgeon said there is a high chance I could break it again, so I am moving cautiously and with a cane. But, I am moving!! I am thankful for the pain as that means I can still feel! I am taking Lyrica for my Fibromyalgia, and that is helping with the nerve pain from all the damage I did when I broke it 11 months ago.

Each day is a blessing.

Here's to LOTS of sales at the festival!! Come see us if you can. We are the last of the vendors at the top of the hill in Commercial Building #2 in the far back left corner. We will have LOTS of new roving thanks to Zeilinger Wool Company zwool.com and Sallie's Fen Fibers http://www.salliesfenfibers.com/
