We still have stores of honey from last year - so it was nice to get to splurge on the "addicts" 250 stick bundle. :) Oooh, we also stocked up on honey sticks while we were there.

I just happened to be standing with a friend when Jolene said she just bought it. (Because I was looking for the original owner.) HC - Saturday would have been a no go, but the kids are very cute around the bunnies, alpacas, goats and sheep! It's always fun. I missed out on buying local honey, though I definitely thought out about it. I just didn't feel like spending anything at all that day.

I went on Saturday with my friends J&S and their kids. It was just kind of a lark, as none of us knit/weave/etc, so we were SHOCKED at how big it was. It was cute watching their two-year-old daughter creep towards the sheep and then duck away again. And I loved looking at the spinners pumping away. I also got some AMAZING honey from an apiary in White Hill. Michael Pollan would be so proud. I knew I should have called you!

I don't know why I obsess over going when I don't knit or even buy yarn for that matter. Maybe it's just a fascination with all things fiber just the same. Why I'm really posting is cause you mentioned Jolene -- can we have any more people in common? She's actually my LLL leader and one of the reasons we went was to say hi to her and see her new shop's booth. Didn't realize it's the one you used to hang out at alot.
