Good-bye for nearly two weeks, Housey! I’ll miss you!

(Re-Read)
I read this just last year, but re-read because I am newly resolved to stop eating UPF, no little exceptions here and there which then let the big exceptions sneak in. No more diet juice, sugar-free hard candies, weird bottled drinks.
Gardening Gratitude
Gardening teaches me gratitude! Because although the rabbits may have eaten all my spring vegetables, I still have a jungle of tomatoes.
What to Eat Next…
I put electric netting fence around my garden. The bunnies go right through it. But bright side at all times – it keeps the goats out, so I can let them graze semi-attended.
Orange You Glad
Twas a dyeing day. My colors came out more orange than I’d intended because I accidentally used Flame Red rather than Ruby Red. Arghhhhhh! Good thing I don’t vend anymore – orange never sells!

Laughed out loud super-frequently. What great therapy.
All the Things! Magazine Edition
Occasionally I still work on my “Inventory of Everything” project. Today I learned I have exactly 100 issues of Spin-Off, fondly dating back to Summer 1998 – when we first got angora goats. I also have 24 Wild Fibers – that was a good one, now defunct. And 35 Ply. I don’t like the vibe of Ply as much as Spin-Off somehow.
Burke
Yesterday was rain off and on, mostly on. We did not bike. We went driving. Between rain, sometimes during rain, we saw people on bikes, which made me feel slothful. This is a lovely picture of a store in Burke, Vermont. I am up to 143 Vermont towns on my extremely lackadaisical mission of capturing all 251.
Ramona in Various Forms
The rare Albino Mohair from Wiseacres Farm.
And Batts of Blue. Ya know, I had three days off this past week in addition to the weekend, and I washed and dyed exactly zero mohair. It was too freaking hot.
