Aunt Lee came to visit us for the first time since we've been living at Nubi. We had a great weekend, and having a visitor was a wonderful excuse to put aside projects and do some sightseeing.
There was lots of things going on, including an art tour and a wool arts tour. We did two stops on each. We also went for a nice hike up Mount Skatutakee and went apple picking at Norway Hill Orchard. We had fabulous fall weather the whole weekend, although the colors seemed a bit muted, perhaps because of the summer-long drought.
The woods leading up Mount Skatutakee were absolutely magical - lots of big rocks covered with moss. Lee was on the lookout for fairy homes, and there were lots of them.
Here's the view of Monadnock from the top.
Here are Aunt Lee and the girls in the apple orchard. It was a beautiful spot, and we only picked Macs based on the opinion of the matron of the orchard. It's hard to imagine anyone picks anything but Macs with her sales pitch.
We took a beautiful hayride at one of the wool tour farms.
I saw some of my favorite chocolate-brown sheep. Lee got to lead around a baby alpaca which was unbelievably soft. It's wonderful to see how much more comfortable she is now with animals.
Of course, a few of us from the neighborhood were window shopping for animals. What should we get? Alpacas, goats, sheep, miniature donkeys? Really, who can resist a face like this?
