Char and Bob of Fiber Ridge Farm invited our group of weavers to see their farm; complete with alpacas, llamas, sheep, dogs, kittens and chickens galore. I have finally found someone with more fiber than me; and a such a prolific and beautiful collection of looms and spinning wheels, in all shapes and sizes, be still my heart. When Char said she collected spinning wheels, I should have taken her seriously. It was so fun taking pictures, when there was another fiber surprise everywhere I looked.
And then there was the incredible meal of: pirogi’s, sausage and sweet and sour cabbage that her hubby so generously made for us. Yea for man cooking! And yea for seconds….
Thanks Char for a fun day away from my weaving/weeding rotation as I try to build inventory for some upcoming fairs while also trying to keep ahead of the weeds. Both appear never ending.
