Early in the years of which I’ve known this farm I discovered that the fog settles into the North Pasture before it creeps elsewhere onto the farm. The damp air will be so thick that you can’t see into it. The phrase – thick as pea soup comes to mind, although in my mind it’s…
DetailsYesterday at the Farmers Market my friend Amy, came by to say hi and chat a moment. Amy, although a non-knitter understands and appreciates knitting, she likes the fibers, the dyeing and the knitting. Yesterday I discovered she likes the tools too.
