WML - Up to Date

These days May and Bell are hanging out at the Green Mountain College's Cerridwen Farm. Cerridwen is the Welsh Harvest Goddess of Fertility. Their neighbors are chickens, Black Welsh Mountain Sheep, two Oxen and a few ducks. I have them here at school with me along with my angora rabbits. May and Bell are here making campus and the farm a little more diverse. We are doing projects with wool and community. Last year we went to the Poultney High School for a home-ec class and to the Poultney Elementary School for an interactive assembly with grades K through 4.

I have been doing spinning workshops and plan on doing felting workshops in the future.

This isn't the best picture of me but it shows how versatile these animals are. May and Bell had run of the room (after removing the potted plants:) and the teenagers could walk up to the llamas and brush them and feed them carrots with no problems.

This is Hana and I at the Welsh Harvest Festival that our College Farm has every year in October. There was traditional food, apple cider making, dancing, music, and merriment.

Here is Hana with one of our angora rabbits - Rosie. This is also at the Welsh Harvest Festival.

These last two pictures were taken by my wonderful friend, Toby, who also works at the Cerridwen Farm like I do. These are pictures of May and Bell this winter on the campus farm.
