My Tour didn’t go quite as planned due to some minor (as in they didn’t DO anything while they were in there) surgery on Bastille Day.  I spent ~5 days after the laparoscopy mimicking a beached whale, which took the wind out of my sails for the rest of the Tour.

Finished yarns:

"New Day" Handspun Corriedale

“New Day”  Corriedale

Tour de Fleece Day 5

“Goblin Eyes” Merino/Bamboo

Tour de Fleece Day 15

“Joshua Tree” BFL

Singles (plied after the Tour was over)

merino/alpaca singles

“Gunmetal” Merino/Alpaca

I’m skeining the last bit up tonight.  Should come out w/ around 500 yards of light fingering weight 2-ply.  I have ~12 more oz of that blend, so if I need more of the yarn, I can spin some more!  Handy how that works.

This week’s Farmers Market featured a cookbook sale.  I totally scored!  (Only wish they had one of the OLD Betty Crocker cookbooks w/ the spiral binding, but alas I will have to keep hunting)

Cookbooks

Jane Brody, Fanny Farmer, James Beard, and “Russian Tea Room Cookbook”.  Johnny was excited to see the last one of that list, being 1/2 Russian and all.  I was happy to find the hardbound copy of the Beard and Fanny Farmer.

I leave you with this morning’s sunrise via my commute home.
