This past weekend was the spring Countryside Artisans Tour at the farms and studios around Sugarloaf Mountain, so on Sunday after brunch, we went to several of them to see spring farm babies and lots of crafts. We started at Breezy Hill Farm, which has alpacas, sheep, many other animals, and fiber arts -- I may have bought an owl bag, and we got to see a new alpaca being introduced to the herd -- then we drove to Heron's Meadow Farm to buy local grown tea.
From there we went to Something Earthy, the pottery-and-crafts studio where we often end up buying food and handmade soap, though we also go to see the goats and guineafowl. After that we headed to Art of Fire, the glassblowing studio, though they weren't doing demonstrations by the time we got there though three cats were supervising the shop. We ended up at Dancing Leaf Farm, where we saw more fiber arts, the sheep that made them possible, and the sleepy dog.
We had chick'n with French bread and cheese for dinner, then we saw our kids on Google Meet along with my parents. Paul's parents tested positive for Covid last night (the only ones in the facility, so we're pretty sure they were exposed in church at Easter), so we talked to them too and their nurse who is optimistic that it will remain mild, since they've had their boosters. Then we watched some episodes of Is It Cake? because it's mindless!
