Henry David Thoreau at Ideuma Creek!

Meet Accoyo Thoreau born on July 13. There is, of course, a personal connection to the name. I teach reading. I try to teach a love of reading. One of the first things I have my students learn is the 8 habits of a good reader. The last "habit" is that you make the book a part of your life. Reading "Walden" by Henry David Thoreau when I was a sophomore in college truly changed my life. This book became a part of me. I remember thinking what an important life adventure it was for Thoreau to spend so much...

Inspiration born on My Mother's Birthday

 Please meet Peruvian Inspiration born on August 14, 2016, my Mother's 77th birthday. My Mom and I watched the birth that day.

A Championship for Accoyo Crescendo!

We were thrilled with this championship at The Tennessee Waltz Fleece Show! It is Accoyo Crescendo, a cross of a fawn Invasion daughter and our herdsire PHA Accoyo Zagot. What is even better is that a full sister to Crsecendo was just born last week! Wini's comments were, "showing exceptional fineness and good overall uniformity". You might remember that this was our first attempt at any kind of line breeding. Crescendo is a distant cross of Caligula lineage. We're so excited he did so well at his very first show!
