todays crafts and goodies

today it was super hot, we're talking 98 degrees and 84 % humidity, not at all what this minnesota lady likes at all, nor what her farm critters like either. the alpacas spent most of the afternoon dosing in the shade on the grass under the trees, half asleep and seemingly rather content. the goats complained all the time, while hiding under their trees and then under the food bins, simon the cow spent the day in his hut, only coming out for his bottle then going back, and the sheepies, well the sheepies dosed in the big water bin, not caring if anyone else was thirsty at all(good thing we keep 3 water bowls out there under the big oak for them all to share)... but i did these in the cooler house-

new yarns with dyed to match sequins

stitch markers from marcrame and porcelain beads

and spinning wheel threading hooks with porcelain hand blown beads on copper

a bunch of grilled chicken wings with a dozen different toppings/dipping sauces and a big fresh garden salad for dinner and now i'm on my way to be settled in front of the tv with my knitting while mother nature waters the garden while rumbling and breaking the heat for the night
