March Trio

First I'll start off with some night shots I took while playing with my dog. I'd like to experiment more with photos at night time!



^^ I think she looks like Zero in this one ^^



I dyed some yarn with old pokeberries from last summer. We froze the berries, not knowing if they'd be usable for dyeing, but it worked. Fresh is better, stronger color, but I got some results I can use. It was mostly an experiment and a time to over dye yarns I didn't like. Some of them are acceptable, others I still am not satisfied with the color.
^^We also got an awesome dye pot from a friend moving away! Never used an electric one before! Kinda nice to be able to turn it on and walk away, not like an open flame.^^



As for the chickens they recently had a treat of all the snails we could find in the front yard:
P.S. Happy 3rd birthday Susie and Bea!!



Ku'u Ipo and 'Apelila celebrate their 3rd birthday April 1st!

^^Anybody ever seen a snail like this?^^ I've never seen one like that in California.
