Greetings from Frederick County

We had a really nice, very busy Saturday starting with a morning showing of Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald, which I liked a lot -- not as much as the first one and not as much as any of the HP films, but because I'm less emotionally invested in this generation, I'm also less troubled by any of the WTF moments, and the film is gorgeous, especially the parts set in Paris. I'll do a post tomorrow about things I loved (the sewers!) and things I hated (everything connected to Nagini).

As for the rest of my day, we went to the Valley Craft Network farm and studio tour around Frederick, came home for dinner, then picked up Daniel at the airport! Here are the pics:


Visiting happy muddy piggies at Caprikorn Dairy Goat Farm.


Feeding very eager goats who ate the bag as well as the animal crackers.


Hoof prints on my coat after escaping from the pen at goat dinnertime.


Hard cider at Distillery Lane Ciderworks in Jefferson.


The back of the War Correspondents' Arch at Gathland.


Being licked by a calf at South Mountain Creamery, where we got eggnog and ice cream.


Kiparoo Farms' sheep near sunset on the hill behind the farm, where we looked at yarn and woolens.


Daniel watching the head of his company being parodied by Steve Carell on SNL.
