So, vacation was awesome.  We went camping up in the adirondaks and made our way to Burlington to go to the Sheep and wool festival in Essex Junction.  We had allot of fun.  We hot alpaca wool for scarves and some pretty hand dyed wool for a poncho.  It was allot hotter than we were expecting, so we got to go swimming, in our clothes though because we didn't bring swim suits.  The beach in burlington is amazing.  Nothing was as beautiful as watchin the sun set on lake champlain.  We had aton of fun and came home to a garden full of tomatoes and zuchini.  Going back to work after such a wonderful vacation was hard to adjust to, but now we're fully back into the grind.  We picked 10 lbs of wild grapes this weekend and the juice is in the fridge.  Tommorrow it will be jelly.  I've been keeping my eye on the crab apple tree at work and they are starting to grow.  Oh the plons I have for those.lol.  I need to make time to cook up some sauce or the tomatoes will rot on me.  Just too much to do and not enough time to do it.  Working 60 hrs. a week is a hassle this time of year.  Planning on having a simple dinner this year for Mabon.  I'm making herb encrusted beef stew and cornbread.  I wanted to go out to the woods for an early dinner picnic but we'll see.  Anyway allot going on in my neck of the woods, as soon as I can get some help from my man I'll have pictures posted from the trip, and of the patio :)
