Rain...and MORE RAIN!!!

Yesterday we drove to Carlisle to Joann Fabrics and several other places...in the rain! I've always wanted to get a picture of this old spring house way out on the far end of Spring Garden Street. Would rather have done it on a nice sunny day, but nooooo! Had to rain!!! It was a nice trip any how.

When I had been at Mannings last week, I tried to get a new drive band for my spinning wheel, but they were backordered. Two days later I get the phone call that they have arrived. Another trip to Mannings! As we passed the farm where you turn for their shop I saw these creatures. Now this is a test for Kathy! What are they??? I'll give you a few clues. They are NOT 'bulls'! Though the black one with the long neck may be the Loc Ness monster. OK, Kathy, what do you think??? LOL!

Here is the spinning wheel with it's new drive band on and ready to go. Now to find time to do some spinning. Our Fiber Guild is participating in a solstice festival on Saturday in Shippensburg at the township park on Britton Road. If the weather is decent, I may join them. The summer solstice is something I usually don't like to celebrate because it means that already the days will begin to get shorter. As a person who is highly affected by seasonal depression and lack of sunlight, even the thought of shorter days is upsetting, even though winter is a loooong way off!

Or I may take my Santa piece if I decide to go. He's coming along nicely. I haven't decided yet on a background color. Tomorrow Linda and I will be taking the dying workshop with Doris. That should give me some ideas on what will be most effective. Better take my color wheel!

Now I just can't let Joanne have all the kitty fun! Since the outdoors is so uncooperative for photography, I have had to do it indoors. This is Robbie. Linda says Robbie is an imaginary cat because when she comes to visit he is nowhere to be found! Isn't it amazing how realistically cut and paste works! LOL!

This is Robbie's sister Sophie. She is real, Linda has seen her! She's laying on the official 'scratching chair'. Check the chair legs!!! She is Zip's little darling! He says sweeter things to her than he does to me. Maybe because she puts up with his guitar playing better than I do. hehehe!

And here she is with Mommy at the cumputer. First she lays on the mouse hand.

Then she lays on the keyboard. I think she loves Mommy just as much as Daddy! Is this why I never seem to get anything done???

I better get to work around here. My vacation is almost over. Boo-hoo!

Have a great Father's Day weekend, everyone!
