BRK Day 8

Picked up some hay this weekend, I got 18 bales for my plot, and Jen and Josiah got 19 for theirs. We also found a wild elderberry plant on the way back and harvested 5 quarts or so of berries!

Chestnuts have been facing some heavy predation, I suspect the grasshoppers are getting hungry

Clayton, this is almost too much honour. A whole series of photos with the 'beanie' I knitted!
It's weird, I almost knew for certain you would choose this one, the 'red' one. Did you know this wool was dyed with real madder (Rubia tinctoria)?
