back from the mountain

We are back.  After a very Monday Monday, I would not mind being back on the mountain dealing with wet and cold.  Though this week may be snow and cold.  The most people on the mountain at one time was 13 with the addition of a dog.  There was a leaking tent and the shed became the cook house and sleeping quarters. 

There was also strawberries roasted like marshmallows.  I need to try roasting them here and making jam.  Ideas are lovely.

This picture says it all.  I did find a place to sit on the side of the mountain and crochet while overlooking the valley.  I just needed some quiet.  I am still working on that hat.  It is going to have two yarns that I spun in it.

There was twenty two people at my parents.  There was lots of conversation and lots of food but few leftovers.  I did get pumpkin pie for breakfast though.  It did make my day.  I brought out my Turkish Spindle and worked on yarn while I talked.  Fascination from one of the short people who had never seen yarn being made before. 

We raced the weather home and did not have to deal with snow or very cold.  That was very nice.  We also brought Small Mister back with us for about a month.  Life is pretty nice.
