I'm visiting friends in WV. Six women in the house for a week, with a couple of clean t-shirts, several bottles of wine, and art supplies of our choice. Yesterday, we visited a local alpaca ranch. They were a little shy about getting close to us, but warmed up after a while. The wool from an alpaca is wonderfully soft but running a ranch doesn't allow for much spinning time, so there was almost no wool for sale. We learned that the owner is soon opening a barn on the ranch that will sell the artwork of local wool fiber artists. Next visit!
The other pic is a night garden tour, for the fragrances, just a few steps from Julie's front door...
