Last Weekend of Summer
September 07, 2010
Since we spent sometime in the sun, walking around a small fiber festival, Cheryl, Shelley and I decided hats were in order. Purchases were few, but the beautiful black skeins of alpaca from Deb's Sunrise Ranch, called to me, as did the soft, handwoven towel, which will make a lovely polishing cloth for Corrina (my Schacht wheel).
Corrina and I were able to spend time together getting back into the spin of things, after I gently polished and oiled her.
The better part of the weekend was spent in the garden. We brought home a multi-veggie harvest and made multiple batches of Vicki's Roasted Tomato Sauce. The weekend also brought the very first eggs from our community gardens chickens!! This is the second egg.
This lovely little egg tasted like a real egg should. All three bites of it.
What a delightful weekend. And, your very first egg!!!!

I love that picture of you guys! I bet it was fun to just walk around and enjoy the fibery sights, I have such great memories of going to that with you.

How fun!!! All of it... fiber fest, friends, harvest, and EGGS!!
(Now I have an urge... looking up Wisconsin Sheep & Wool right now, and it might be do-able!)

I love the photo of you grrls in your hats! What a perfect way to spend the weekend. Fiber festivals are just wonderful places to wander. And the egg? What a thing of beauty!

Cute egg. Can you get a photo of the next one with something next to it for size comparison? Or in your hand?
I love your weekends. They always seem better than mine for some reason.

I'm trying to get enough tomatoes together to make a batch of that sauce, but I keep eating them. Mmmmm... tomato sandwiches...
Love the photo of the Three Musketeers.
