A Note to Blog Subscribers

posted in: Uncategorized 0

In the next few weeks, I will be restructuring my website and blog.  I have already started working on the blog page!  Blog subscribers (RSS FEED) will need to resubscribe to the blog in order to continue receiving new posts in your inbox. I should have the new subscribe box up by the end of this week. You will not be able to resubscribe until that time.  The blog can be found by going to my web address at www.hermanhillsfarm.com

There will be not box to sign up on the right navigation as there was previously.  To receive new blog posts in your inbox, you will need to fill in the information at the bottom of any blog post page.  You will need to click on the blog post title to open the full blog post page.  This is also where you leave a comment to a blog post.  Below is a screen shot of where you need to fill in information.  Fill in the name and email fields also some text is required in the comment box.  Be sure to check the box “Notify me of new posts via email” box.  Do not sign up until the end of the week or when you see the web address for the blog (in your browser) is indeed www.hermanhillsFARM.com  I may have it fixed sooner than the end of the week…..

My web address of www.hermanhillsknittery.com will be changed to www.hermanhillsfarm.com.  Right now, both web addresses take you to the same website. Eventually, I will be dropping the knittery web address. Blog posts will be sending from the hermanhillsfarm address and therefore I will need to update the code that sends posts.

All is well on the farm. It has been rainy, cool, hot, and humid.  Typical weather for SW Ohio!

The Hay is in…

The first cutting of hay is baled and stacked in the barn.  We got it cut and baled just before the rains.  There are a few wagon loads and lots of round bales.hay

Got some spinning done…

handspunI take lots of photos (not just of sheep and fiber).  We were exploring on our old property down the way and I got some great photos of this old truck.  Some nice colors for dyeing.  As you can see from the photos, the rain was coming…and it hasn’t left since.

Shop Update and Lots of Rain

I have listed new dyed locks listed in the online farm shop.  The dark Wensleydale locks are from a black/silver fleece and I over dyed them with a mix of purples.
