How to Catch Up?

Setting the stage for the Fall gardens

Setting the stage for the Fall gardens

In spite of the dismal discipline I’ve shown towards writing the blog these last couple of weeks…things really have been happening in a wonderful way.

We celebrated the end of summer with a total of 18 dozen homemade doughnuts cooked fresh each morning of Labor Day weekend, blasted right into Fiber College with classes beginning on Thursday this year, collapsed on Monday and devoted the past week to doing as little as possible while still being helpful to guests.

It has been a creative week of weaving, spinning, pickling, canning, and knitting…and now I feel like getting back to our regular routine.

For a more complete update on Fiber College, go to the Fiber College blog for a grand assortment of photos and commentary…by this afternoon I hope.

As a way of starting fresh, I did a camera dump this morning and here are a few images from the last couple of weeks:
