They say time flies.  It flies really fast sometimes.  Sometimes it is just mind-boggling to find out it is FRIDAY AGAIN ALREADY.

Time is on my side this time though I think.  I decided to deplete some of my yarn stash and make hats for my family for Christmas this year.  That would include 12 grandkids, 6 kids, and 5 significant others/spouses.  I am currently on hat #9.  So far, so good.  Still need to also knit a baby sweater for #12.  Yes, 2 grandbabies coming yet this year...mid October and late December.  At the rate I am going, maybe next year they will all get a scarf...lots of yarn to use up.

I love the Fall, the smell of fresh air, you can finally open the windows again for a few months and get the house aired out.  

I love the smell of campfires...and the beautiful colors the trees exhibit.  

Fall is time for Harvest if you are in the North, time for planting if you are in the South.  I started some seeds for planting already that will be ready to plant in the ground here in just a few weeks.  Tomatoes, peppers, and eggplant.  The tomatoes have already poked their heads up thru the peat pots and are about 2" tall...some are still hiding but they will come out soon.

Yesterday, August 31st, marked the 1 year anniversary for living in our new home.  It has been a very full year, and just flew by.  I think I will miss the change of seasons but life is good.

Home Schoolers visit to the farm

June 7, 2011
Today, we had about 17 home schooled kids and parents out to visit and learn more about our alpacas.  It was very good.  Two moms brought their looms with them and asked me for help... I hope I answered them right.  I think they will come back and bring their looms with them and we can just sit and spin and weave and talk..


Ed took off work and explained a lot of the details about how alpacas came into the United States and all the technical stuff about the animals and I just showed them and talked with them about the fiber and what all you can do to and with it.  They liked it as much as we like talking about it.  I am sure they will be back for other events we have here.
