Holdouts and harbingers

Somehow I’ve managed to tear myself away from the massive pile of drawings a couple of times in the past two weeks—once for a quick trip to the wonderful Olympia Farmers Market to pick up a few things. (Look, fractal geometry!)

Okay, maybe “few” is stretching the truth a bit, since one of those items was fifty pounds of organic romas, destined for tomato sauce. These babies are a month late, and we’re lucky to have them at all. It’s been a dismal summer for tomato growers here—but hey, it’s nice to have that one last bit of summer when you can get it.

The other time was for a little taste of the winter to come—at the Oregon Flock & Fiber Festival. The place had me dreaming of winter silence and warm, woolly sweaters.

Maybe if we hurry up and can those tomatoes, sweater weather will come faster!

    Awww, that face makes me miss the Llama Magic fairs they have here in MN. Pity I’ll have to wait til next year to get my fill of alpacas, sheep, goats, and llamas.

    It’ll be great to see your knitting projects!

    Love your sheep picture! I’m still sad that I had to miss OFF this year.

    I usually just lurk here on your blog, but wanted to tell you that I really enjoy following all that you do. Your work is amazing.
