Sad Summer's End

7:30 am

                Just walking along feeding the bunnies (and listening to Barnaby I started to get terribly anxious and sad. I am thinking about work starting up and how tight my time will be and …. what the hell have I managed to do over these 4 months? And I sure won’t have time for anything much besides work soon. Oh, it is not that bad, I will have some time for spinning and what not, but not very much. I guess I have gotten a fair bit of spinning done, but is it enough for the fall fairs? I do need more angora. Or anyway, more white and dark gray angora since those are the popular ones. I have gobs of fawn and muddy fawn and I bet those will not sell. Another reason not to keep the agouti or brown or muddy fawn rabbits. I just started spinning the weighed out bags of just Bathsheba – a chocolate rabbit. And I think it is going to turn out a kind of muddy grey. And maybe not that nice. It is kind of earthy looking which is good, but not that striking. I was thinking it might be good to go ahead and gather some walnut (I had thought that I would not bother this year) and dye some of those bags of the muddier colored angora. That would make them a much nicer rich brown.

                Well, sounds like the girls are up, and this morning we have all promised to help K stack wood for 2 hours. After that I will work on more tomato sauce and spin. And obsess. Well, one thing I did do this summer – I made soap!!!!!!
