Several longer posts to come soon. I have so many things to tell you about: my winnings, my purchases, the sheep to shawl contest, my FO’s (yes, more than one), and so many things, but I’m exhausted and need to go to my first class of the semester.

Ha! I bet you thought that it would be baby bunnies! Nope, this was my blurry attempt at capturing a creature in the wild. Please note that this tiny toad could fit on the quarter I placed in the picture. It was itty bitty. :) I love itty bitty things. (Sorry it’s so blurry.)
