refreshed and ready to go...

the day i was leaving for my spinning workshop in nova scotia, i realized that i could think of this trip as a holiday. so i did. yes - i was going there to learn how to spin. but i could leave behind everything else and just enjoy myself. the setting could not have been more idylic. pastoral farm land flowing down to the sea. every morning i walked from my b&b to the workshop along the narrow road that hugged the harbour. every morning something different. always an incredible calm. because of the recent fires there was more wildlife out in the open - hares, on the last morning a deer. wild flowers about 2 weeks ahead of here in newfoundland. i ate well (exquisite vegetarian cooking (thank you thank you leslie for your care)). i slept well - open windows, the ocean breeze, the sound of little peeper frogs from the nearby swamps. and i learned how to spin...
