One: The finished skein of “Happy” Real Vermonter wool/alpaca dyed by Jessie at A Piece of Vermont. I was concerned that I’d spun and plied it too tightly, but now that it’s washed and relaxed, it’s fine. Now, what to knit, what to knit?
Two: A quart of local strawberries came home with me this evening. No picture, but they’re beautiful and shiny and sweet as can be. I am so lucky to live here, where farming on a small scale seems to be thriving. There are farmsands on nearly every road, and many of the farming families have been here since oh, forever (or maybe only 200 years or so).
I’m hungry for strawberries right this minute, so I’ll leave you with this extra-close view of the extra-good Happy-ness.
