On Saturday, after the farmers market, Tito and I decided to pay a visit to Alpacas From Eighth and Mud, a farm that I’d learned about during the Frogpond Farm art show. We got to visit with John and Sharon (the owners), meet the herd, view…
On the way back from Georgia last week we passed by this abandoned park, just off the 1-75 in Tennessee. I didn’t have anything but my phone camera handy, but you know I had to stop and check it out! There are 2 rusting ferris…
Of the grand plans that Rayna and I had made (fiber touring through every town we drove through, which would have meant Montreal, Quebec City, Moncton, Edmunston, Sydney, and St. John’s) we only managed to get in one store, on the second-to-last day of the…
In lieu of a post, here are some of my fave pics along with some of the best quotes I’ve overheard here on the island. “When you’re throwing dirt, you’re losing ground.” “I feel like someone dragged me through a bag o’ nails.” “Maple Leafs?…

Last Saturday, myself and my very favourite enablers partners in crime (Rayna, Leslie & Tito) went for a road trip out to Colbourne to see the Sensei of All Things Spinning Related. Alas, I cannot share photos for a while, but I will tell you…
Amalfi has been on my list for a very long time, so this time when I went to Italy I knew I had to make it down there. My first revelation was that ‘Amalfi Coast’ referred to a number of communities along a rocky shoreline…
