7:30 am

                I just watched a video that one of the teachers at the HS made last year. It was short clips of a kindergarten class, and last year’s senior class which of course was G’s. It was very sweet and there were a bunch of her friends that I recognized and now I feel all sad and miss my girls so much. Sometimes it just aches.

                Well yesterday, in spite of being lovely mountain day, did not turn out so well. I did manage to get several rabbits plucked with is a good thing. I also set up and tried using the little lighting tent that I bought from Hunts, meant to make taking photos of skeins etc super easy. Well it doesn’t. It might eventually, once I really work out all the bugs, but right now they did not turn out that great. Part of the issue is that I was using Grandpa’s old camera and I do not really know how to use it. He gave us a huge manual along with the camera, which of course I can’t find. Last night though I looked on line and I did find it so when I have many hours to spare maybe I can sit with the camera and the manual and figure out things like how to adjust the exposure. Here are a few of what I came up with:

      

They are actually not that bad, part of the trouble was that a friend was with me and she seemed to think we were going to come up with things that look like what would be on the cover of Spin-Off magazine. Well I am not going to be able to do that. I do not have the equipment, skill or time for that. I just have to do the best I can.

                Today I go into work, pretty soon, I will run in the gym first thing so that I can shower there, I meet a student at 11 then I should spend some time grading. K can pick me up around 1 as he comes through. He’ll drop me home on his way to a meeting and during that time I WILL tackle the pile of junk in the kitchen. Part of my impetus, besides the fact that it is in general a disaster and needs to be done, is that L called asking about a letter from People’s with a PIN for her debit card. It was not in her room, so I am wondering if it just might be in THE PILE. So I WILL tackle that. Once K gets back we are scheduled to test drive a Volt car…… I guess just because he wants to. We’re not exactly in the market for a $30,000 car just now… and once we do that we will drive up to the farm. So somewhere in there I must pack. And right now I must get dressed and feed buns and mix up lots of pellets for the neighbor to use while we are gone. Oh and also somewhere in there I need call Diamond Farm about getting a pre-thanksgiving turkey.
