Spring is Here!

This was a busy first weekend in May! On Saturday my sister-in-law Beth and I went to the Maryland Sheep and Wool show. It was in West Friendship, Maryland. My new friend Abby, from my new Fiber Group was on the trip too. It was a beautiful day, 72 degrees and sunny! We had to meet the bus at 5:15 am and returned around 8:00 pm. Long day.

 

I purchased some beautiful fiber. I got a chocolate brown alpaca fleece that is the softest I have ever felt! The fleece was from Wanda. If you look in the bottom left of the picture, you can see a part of her head.

I also purchase lovely fresh clipped Angora. Here is one of the bunnies that was for sale. He was so sweet and soft.

These gorgeous Angora Goats had beautiful fleece. I got mohair from one of the yearlings. It is soft and has a beautiful luster. It is white to golden in color.

After the long day Saturday, Sunday morning we went to our favorite nurseries to purchase our vegetable and herbs to plant. We had the onions, lettuce and peas in already. Today I planted Super Sauce Tomatoes, Roma Tomatoes, Amish Paste Tomatoes, Marconi Peppers, Yellow Bell Peppers, Eggplant, Canteloupe, Spaghetti Squash, Zucchini, Cucumbers, Basil, Cilantro, Parsley, Rosemary. Thankfully the Oregano and Thyme survived the winter!

Enjoy the beautiful weather & happy gardening!
