On Sunday, we got to go to church and did our usual weekly grocery shopping date, came home from that and speed cleaned our house for company coming. My brother-in-law Mike brought down a buddy from Indianapolis (a city kid) who had never been to a farm and had never seen an alpaca. We visited most of the afternoon and not sure if Marcus will ever visit us again but I know it is one farm visit that he will remember. I showed him my looms and spinning wheel and he told me he had seen that at Conner Prairie when he was a kid. He was intrigued with the whole process. He saw how we comb the sheared fiber and turn it into yarn. It was a good thing.
It was a great day on the farm and ended with a tractor ride with my husband to the back in the very muddy field to remove a fallen tree branch for our farmer who will tend our fields soon. Now I know why our neighbors the Sharps take their "mule" ride in the evenings.......................
