What a wonderful day I've had so far! I have snuck away from the group, leaving them lingering over dessert and I'm spending a minute with you.
The Sheep and Wool festival was wonderful, small and quaint. Not crowded like the NY Sheep and Wool, not that there is anything wrong with that. Honestly, I made myself put back any yarn that tempted me. If I had no immediate plans for it, I did not want it. I do wish to splurge a bit on foxfire yarns in Rhinebeck so buying a skein or two of this or that is not prudent.
Norma and I started our day with an early morning trip to a wonderful farmer's market in Waitsfield to visit the wonderful Ruby and Mr. Ruby. (Ken) ( I hope) (I've met so many people, the names all blur together). I did have to buy a Ruby scarf. Wait until you see it. She is the most talented weaver I know. And pretty darn special to boot..
I did buy a couple of special things at the Sheep and Wool. One is named Cheep, named by a very special young one.
This wee one just snuck up the stairs with Paula to surprise me and they would have too if I had not decided at that very second to go to the powder room. They are like little mice them two, Paula and wee one.
Just wanted to say a very Vermonty hello to you! Going home tomorrow. I can then show you my pictures!
Be sure to tell me what I've been missing around here!
p.s. Please make sure the bed is made when I get home. I get cranky when the bed is unmade.
(sure the rest of the house can be ramshackle but the bed MUST be made!)
