About three years ago, I was bitten by a tick.  I know you're thinking, "so what" right? That's about as much thought as I gave it at the time.  Fast forward to fall 2018. I ate some ice cream one night and broke out in hives.  Strange occurrence as I don't have any food allergies.  I put it off to a food additive or dye and changed brands.  About a month later, again after eating ice cream the night before, I woke up with my entire face swollen and my eyes swelled shut. I studied the two brand labels looking...

Unfortunately, for the first time in more years than I can remember, Little Barn will NOT be at SAFF in N.C. this October. In fact, we will not be attending any more shows this year.  We are sorry to disappoint the loyal customers that have supported us. We will be posting products on the website and Ebay for those interested in our fibers.

Finally.  We seemed to have an early fall but then the temps heated up again.  At last we are seeing some cold weather with 2 nights down in the low 20's. Not much compared to some of you but pretty good for around here.

I wanted to sneak in one more post before climbing in the truck and heading North (and slightly East) towards Rhinebeck.  The weather has finally broken.  Hallelujah!  95 degrees in October was becoming a bit depressing.  Hard to get in the fall spirit of things with sweat in your eyes.  Thanks to a couple of hours work and some wonderful folks from TN, we have a barn full of beautiful hay and I'm breathing a sigh of relief.  Been trying for months to get the hay put up but between rain, dry off, and schedule issues it hasn't happened.  Mrs...
