Episodes 1 and 1a - On a podcast, I'll show my crazy; and Field Trip: Chickens and Turkeys

My first podcast!! I had hoped to edit together the knitting/farm update portion along with the field trip, but my ancient (4 year old) computer can't handle it. So, there are two videos. Show notes for each below. I hope you enjoy it!

Podcast 1: I go on and on about knitting and spinning for 22 minutes. Farm update starts at 22:22.

Show Notes:
