Last week I took the kids to see Susan at the Hudson Valley Fiber Farm. The kids were off from school, I took off from the store and I wanted to have a fun day out. We were hoping that there would be baby sheep and goats, but there were just some very, very pregnant sheep and goat mamas-to-be. We had a great time, as we always do when we see Susan. The people kids loved all the animals. One goat in particular decided that Maeve was yummy and nibbled on her shirt and hair incessantly. It was rather cute! The pictures are stuck in my camera 'cause the cord is at the store.
Because we didn't get to see any babies, we had planned to go back when they started arriving. Well, I was happy to read this. We planned to go back out to the farm after the kids' first day back at school to see the babies. I thought the kids had a good time the first time we went, but today was amazing! The kids got to hold the two new babies, Arno and Bell! They were so happy, and all of them, Maeve included, were so gentle with the babies. Again, pictures trapped in camera, coming soon.
When we got home Fiona made us French Toast for dinner. It was really good! My girl can cook! I have to say that I really love breakfast foods for dinner. And fluffy French Toast is just delish.
When we were at Susan's I picked up yarn to dye for the store. 30 skeins of perfect Cormo yarn, ready to be dyed by yours truly. I just have to decide if I want to stick with my turkey roaster or get one or two stainless steal pots. I may want to try two color dye jobs which would be much easier with two pots, as opposed to dyeing twice in the roaster. I also picked up some of her new sock yarn for my own personal use. I see some time spent on Ravelry trying to pick a project.
