This lovely yellow tree is across the street from our house.
This is behind our house.
This is also across the street from our house. Also, many of the trees in this picture are technically in New Hampshire.
A week or two ago, my friend Amanda Ann and I drove out to a farm. We had heard tales of a fabulous yarn sale taking place there. It took us a little while to get there since we took the long way but it was totally worth it.
See how happy we are?
Also, it was a beautiful drive.
When we got there we thought we might be at the wrong place since there weren't any signs, just this house.
And this amazing barn. Pretty soon though, two ladies walked out of the house carrying big bundles of yarn and looking very happy and we knew we were in the right place.
My understanding (and I could be wrong) is that this family raises the sheep, then sends away the wool to be spun. Once a year they have a huge sale with piles of yarn in their living room, and for very good prices too.
Here are some of their sheep.
These pictures really aren't even close to showing how beautiful it was that day. It was perfect.
Here is a small portion of the yarn piled into their living room. The other great thing about this place is that when we got there, there was this music playing a really strange assortment of bad music. I realized after a little bit that there was a keyboard in the corner set to play all the demo songs it came with. It was hilarious.
Amanda Ann made out like a bandit. I got about half that much yarn but I'm still set for a while.
