Hi everyone, I think fall is starting to arrive. For about the last 4 days now when I get up to go help with chores and get Daniel ready for school it has been cool in the morning.Yeasterday it really felt like fall and when it is cooling the morning I like to was my fleeces. I know it sounds funny but in the summer time it is too hot to be working with hot water and stand in the hot sun to wash fleeces. Especially when the humidity is around 75% to 99% it just make for a miserable time to wash fleeces for me. I did try to do it this summer and all I could get washed in 2 weeks was 2 fleeces.So you could say that it was not very productive time for me in those 2 weeks compared to me washing a 1 and 1/3 fleeces yesterday. That is even including me running to town to get more soap and mesh bags to wash the fleeces in! It also helped that I got these really great blue tubs from Papa and Mama Wiese to try to wash my fleeces in. Let me tell you they are a savior in time instead of just one tub to wash wool in I now have 4 tubs and my poor hot water heater could not keep up with all the hot water I needed to do my washing. So today is another cool day and guess what I am doing yup I am washing wool and having a good time doing it. I would like to try to get all this years fleeces washed before the first snow falls so this winter I can sit and pick wool all winter and stay warm.
