Right after we came home from Hannah’s wedding, (I’ll share pictures when they come in), we headed out to Western Massachusetts to visit a friend’s farm. Originally I met Barb as a fellow fiber vender at the various yarn shows that I did and we have kept in touch somewhat through FB. Barb is incredibly talented and her yarns and fiber were always top notch, coming from the beautiful Corriedale sheep that she raised.
Like the rest of us as we have gotten older, Barb started looking at different ways to keep her farm producing as working with animals and wool is hard on your body (this I know for sure!) She decided to grow flowers and in particular Dahlia’s, along with other various types of flowers. She is also teaching different classes in the studio she has across from the fields. Her fields of flowers are breath-taking.
How beautiful they are!!
We also were able to meet her three little rescue donkeys, such as treat! Mom is 27 along with her 2 daughters who are 25 and 21 and have lived on the farm now for a number of years. What sweet girls they all are! We had a great time listening to swing music, sipping wine, enjoying the beautiful scenery and spending time with friends. Thanks Barb!
Tomorrow we are off to visit nearby Historic Deerfield.
