My First Fiber Festival - Shenandoah Valley Fiber Festival
Early Saturday morning I went to my first fiber festival and I'm so glad I did. It was a wonderful adventure. People were so happy to share their knowledge about the animals. I saw people hand-spinning, I saw big bags of fleece, and there were many, many different colors and sizes of yarn to choose from.
Someday, on my land, I want goats or sheep. Historically, I always wanted goats for my own meat. Recently, I've leaned toward sheep for meat because sheep graze (and won't have to compete with the deer who browse). After speaking to some of the folks at the show, they have fiber sheep and goats for various reasons - and they generate income. It's a good thing that I still need to put up a...

Saturday's Fossil and Rocks Spots

I had a wonderful day on Saturday, traveling to different spots to look for fossils and rocks. I can't wait to go back to the fossil hill near Wardensville. And I am so thankful to the guys that gave me a trilobite rock. This video is chopped up bits and pieces since I had lost some video clips. I hope you are having a great day. Take care.

Bits & Pieces: Weekend with BFF, Rocks, and Unboxings

This weekend my BFF was up to visit. We talked knives, rocks, and deer. We wandered around Green Ridge State Forest. He helped me look for rocks and he showed me how to use a tile saw. I was so happy to know that I could cut rocks on my own! I hope you are having a great day. Take care.

FO Crochet Project with Big Twist Value yarn and the Cross Back Stitch

This gift was delivered so now I can post this video - in part as a reminder to myself of my FOs. In the video I talked about how stiff the yarn is. I'VE CHANGED MY MIND. After blocking, I popped it into the dryer for a bit. I always dry my acrylic yarn blankets on no heat or low heat. But I forgot this time and left it on whatever heat setting it is on for my clothes. After drying, the blanket...

    A good friend of mine, Sarah, is a ridiculously talented fiber artist. I have been gifted a couple things over the years that are treasures. Good yarn from small artists is a nice find, but finding the community behind it is even nicer. I am delighted to see you had a nice day out!

    That definitely is a black ratsnake. They can be ill tempered, and are harmless. Excellent rodent control, but will eat chicks and eggs if hungry enough. You can put it in a bucket with a lid and move it out of the area.

  • @litigatorcoachd9333
    @litigatorcoachd9333 9 дней назад

    Herpetologist here. Black rat snakes most certainly ARE a good thing. For that matter, so are almost all snakes. Snakes are beneficial to humans because they control rodents. Rodents are highly destructive of foodstuffs and other human property, whereas snakes are not. Rodents carry disease; snakes do not. Rodents carry parasites; snakes do not. Rodents will even chew on people - - check what happened to soldiers in the trenches during WW I or to babies in the nastiest urban ghettos in the 1950s and 1960s (if not today). It's not even close - - the more snakes we have, the better off humans are. And as to whether people should be afraid of snakes: Think about what you (an adult human) looks like to an animal whose eyes are a couple of inches or less off the ground - - do you really think that animal is going to come after you? Nonsense!
