Black Sheep Festival

I finally got to go again! Normally our Messabout is on the Solstice, and that’s the same time as Black Sheep. My friend Ginger wanted to go, so I rode along. I’ll post most of the pictures over on the Spindlitis blog, since I took a lot of spindle pictures and maybe 50 pictures of sheep and goats.

 

I bought this:

And this:

Believe me, there was a lot more things that I would have liked to bring home! I also got a new tea mug for Lon, but I’ve forgotten to take a picture of it. I had a good time and I think Ginger did too.

We may yet be moving down to the river. I’d pretty much given up on it, but it looks like things are aligning to make it happen. Financially, we really need to rent this house and pay some things off. We need to move beyond sweating the property taxes every year. And the house will be much easier to rent. So we will see how it goes. We are also planning to finish up the Aqua Home and put it up for sale. That’s another dream that didn’t work out.
