I was going to write a long, glowing report for you about Sarah’s and my trip to the Maryland Sheep and Wool Festival tonight, but apparently spending the whole day basking in the sun, breathing in yarn fumes (and fried dough smells), handing out cash, and chatting with a friend is exhausting.

I arrived home to find Rudi holding us a table on the local Starbucks patio and, after a cuppa, we returned home to watch Monk, Cranford, and Sherlock Holmes. I knit a little more with my pretty purple yarn and fully expect I’ll have a finished object to show you by the end of the week. But, really, I didn’t have a lot left in me for an active evening.

So now I’m going to wash our supper dishes and then go to bed.

It was a great day, but I’m bushed!

I’m knitting my fingers off in a doomed attempt to finish something for tomorrow.

In the meantime, rest assured that in the next week we will have posts on a variety of topics, including:

• Maryland Sheep and Wool (tomorrow, after we get back!)
• a ridiculous number of books (Into the Stacks returns!)
• a frustrating morning spent at the Servathon
• the bounty the mail has delivered to me recently
• pictures from the garden
