Sunny Spring

Wendy Solberg - Saturday, April 16, 2011

The sun is shining bright, and you cannot beat the "newness" that Spring in South Texas provides. I do realize that it would be ideal to have a bit of rain, but I am always appreciative of the sun especially when it isn't so hot. As we look out the window of the shop, we are again greeted with lovely iris and Queen Anne's Lace...and the sun is just coming through the trees with a great effect! The flags are flapping in a great breeze. Geez, it is definitely a gorgeous day!

The visitors that we have visit with us in Comfort are just as sunny!

Last weekend we had the "Lubbock" group - and what fun they were! They seemed to have an absolutely wonderful time just being together and enjoying each other. It is a pleasure to be able to participate in such good friends and definitely such good feeling. As they left the shop on Saturday night - I did snag a quick snap of them - you can see the great smiles, but I wish I could have recorded the laughter and comments. Priceless! This weekend was also to celebrate a birthday girl! Thanks to all five of you for a wonderful time!

After the picture, Sarah had to give the kitties one more pat!

The other fun we have are the friendships that are built here at the shop. Darcy and Leta are "regulars" that we love, and it was awesome that they made (and wore) matching moebious scarves! Aren't they cute?! And they are looking at the new colorways of Giotto!

And, as I haven't written in a while... I failed to update everyone on the "sheep naming contest"! He is now officially Wooliam. He is definitely a kindred male for Dad and Noro to pal around with during the week. He does look natty in a lovely French Girl shawl...

And a blog wouldn't be complete without pictures of our two hams (aka cats). Here is Laurel trying to check out the yarn in the basket by getting a boost from one of our sheep!
