http://motherhousenews.blogspot.com/2013_05_01_archive.html
What's Up at Motherhouse. Saturday, May 11, 2013. We saw several shed arrangements for housing sheep including some built with "prefab" frames of metal tubing with plywood siding. The shed in the next photo has an electric light at the back so Rhonda can leave the light on all night when her ewes are due to lamb and can easily check on them from her kitchen window. Rhonda also keeps a few miniature horses that chase away coyotes. We thank Lauren Hermele for sharing these photos). Old Style Life Skills.

What's Up at Motherhouse. Wednesday, July 30, 2014. Wreath-Visiting Bailing Twine Wreaths. Making wreaths out of reused bailing twine is both challenging and rewarding.
