More Away Time Ahead

The first of the week was spent in out of town business. On Sunday, we will live for a fun trip to the north Georgia Mountains and Dahlonega. Hopefully, it will be cooler there than it has been here lately. It really, really needs to rain here. On the agenda are trips to antique stores, gold mines, dinners in two marvelous restaurants, The Oar House and The Smith House and, of course, a visit to the marvelous Spinning Shop. The Spinning Shop is in a small outbuilding (it used to be a curing house) on a farm which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The shop is literally packed with all sorts of fibers, yarns, books, dyes (mostly natural) and tools and has a lovely lavender scent permeating every nook and cranny. Outside are Shetland sheep and a natural dye garden. The last time I went there, the owner was hosting Wonderful Wednesdays - an all day open spin in. Hmm... Should I take my wheel!?!?! I also hope to give the new camera a real initiation.
