I was in New Jersey last week at a lovely yarn shop called Chelsea Yarns. While I was there, I met a very special little girl named Gitty.

Gitty is six and one of her favorite things to do is look at pictures of the Juniper Moon Flock on this blog and today is her birthday. I rounded up some of the animals to wish her a very happy birthday!

Gitty, we all hope your year is filled with laughter, magic and wonder.

I had planned today’s post for this blog as well as one for the BY HAND blog, but then I went to doctor’s office and got my first round of injections for the myriad of autoimmune diseases I’ve been carting around, and the rest of the day kind of fell apart. Right now, I feel like I fell out of the nausea tree and hit every branch on my way down.

While I sip on flat ginger ale and wish for death, y’all should head over to my friend Joel’s blog. He just got back from a photography trip to Africa. Joel’s photos are amazing when he’s just hanging out in his backyard, so you know he’s going to have amazing stuff from Africa.

Be sure to keep checking back in on his blog, ’cause he is adding new pictures from his trip every day.

I don’t think I’ve ever been away from the farm for this long, and, even though I know it’s a necessary evil, I am quite lonesome for my animals, my barn, and my own bed.

I am feeling pretty terrible today. It’s almost as if my immune system got the memo that I’m starting treatment next week and is trying to kill me before then. Mostly I’m just weak and tired, but looking at these old pictures of the farm made me feel a little better. It’s amazing how healing lambs can be.
