Before this weekend rolls around, I want to share photos from our little beach excursion last weekend. We attended a going-away get-together for a gal Brian went to high school with; she and another schoolmate are going as nursing student missionaries for a school year. Poppy came along, of course.
It was cooler on the coast than inland, but by no means chilly. It was a truly beautiful, still evening, and a lot of people were out enjoying it.
Sunday evening's sunset colors at home (looking north and east) were very pretty, too:
Monday morning I looked ENE and saw hot air balloons rising with Mt. Adams visible beyond:
Even though it's been hot, some sourdough starter had to be harvested so I made another batch of bread. It drooped over the side of my pizza stone but that's okay; I had a cucumber to fit the curve!

I finished spinning the colorful batts I bought at Black Sheep Gathering, and have started spinning this black alpaca/Merino/Tussah that I got in a TdF prize drawing to ply with them. It's making fun yarn!
That's it for now from . . .

Your spinning is always so beautifully even :-) I've been wondering if you were going to be at Wisconsin this year, but I don't see your name in the program book, so I'm taking that as a no. I am not going, although for awhile I thought I might. Timing is just not on this year, again.
A, last year was probably a once-in-a-lifetime trip to WI thanks to being asked to be the Shetland fleece judge. Great memories, at the festival and with my cousin and his wife, though!
