The Road I Run

The wine grapes in the vineyard
The hay fields


At the end of the run I come home



The beans are nearly ready


The hay is cut and put away




the yellowing soybeans






The final stretch home

The Blue Heron Knittery

I went to the Blue Heron Knittery in scenic Decorah, Iowa on Saturday. If you're a fiber junkie you won't want to miss this stop. About 25 minutes from the Halfway House. I mean if you're coming to see the llamas you must make the time for this! Books, patterns, yarns, rovings, spinning wheels and nice people.

Making Mittens!












MITTENS and more mittens. I am making mittens from our llama felt and knitting cuffs out of either our buffalo yarn or the llama yarn and adding a decorative button after I line each mitten with warm, soft polar fleece. They're really warm and people love these! The bottom picture is the updated Halfway House now getting wired for electricity.
It's in the 20's here and feels warmer and the days are getting longer.
