Merry Christmas ! Happy New Year !

We at Ryan's Way are finally ready for Christmas, I think. Lots of wrapping to do tonight and getting all of the animals settled as it is a wintery, cold day and we are supposed to get more ! We will be having a white Christmas this year after all.

We wish all a Merry Christmas and a good start to the New Year !!

Bless all !

Mother Nature at her Best

Tonight is the night for our first winter storm of the season. They are predicting 8-12 inches in our area as well as wind and ice. Mother Nature at her best !

I believe that we will come through fine as all of the animals are bedded snug as a bug in their shelters and maybe I will get a day off work and Christmas vacation will start a day earlier than expected.

What I will love out of all of this is maybe, just maybe a white Christmas. Just doesn't feel like the season without some white stuff.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

Breeding Season !

Well we are about done with breeding season for the sheep and goats this year. I am hoping for a bumper crop this spring !~We will have six Shetland ewes and two Angora goat does that will be expecting plus two llamas.

Lexee (our Boxer) is showing ALOT ! She only has a couple of weeks yet and we will be bouncing off of the walls with little puppies ! Her first litter yielded nine !!! So we will see what number we get this time.

The Nativity on the 6th went very well and we are just tickled pink to have been a part of that special day.

Some roving has come back and it is just scrumptious !!! I have a periwinkle/purple/silver blend that is 50/50 Mohair and Shetland, beautiful !!! I also have a black/silver blend, a brown/faded red blend and a cream/heathery brown blend, all 50/50. So if you want some wonderful roving let me know...........

Keep warm

Filming

The filming went just fine yesterday except for the weather, bbbbrrrrrrrrr, to say the least. The trailer went in for winter inserts and now we are getting our educational boards ready and the animals groomed for our Nativity on Saturday. This will be very exciting as there will be 200+ people in attendance.

Thank you Peter Schriemer for this adventure !!
