One of the problems with getting so far behind updating the blog is that I forget all things I want to share. There are two more things I'd like to remember about going to the National Drive.
First up, as I was perusing the tack swap area, a woman came over to see if I had any questions and then stopped short and said "Hey, I know you!" She was a fellow beekeeper and we'd talked bees many years ago. Then she added, "I was so sorry to hear about your neighbor."
We talked about Stella for a few minutes and it made me happy to think of her in such a seemingly random place, still being part of so many lives whether through her bees or her "Stella Knitting". I'm getting ready to do some Stella knitting myself and it does help to think about her laughing about me ripping back yet another sweater.
The other thing is that when I got home, Pinto didn't talk to me for two days. He didn't even come out into the barn lot like he does every night. I was snubbed from afar. He's since forgiven me...or at least is letting me slide on it.
He's a funny sheep and a good friend.

Sheep have feelings too....
Always good to have fond memories to share.
What you didn't explain to Pinto before you left? Splaining with cookies works:) How wonderful that you can share Stella stories with others!
