Dad said he would pay us one cent for every dandelion we dug out of the ground (WITH the roots, or it wouldn't count!). I worked for days and days and then announced that he owed me $11.83 or something like that...I don't think he was expecting to have to pay that much, but he paid up!

I know you would love it and it would let you figure out what you want without committing to buy upfront.<br /><br />Walk in fridge, sweetie. You're going to need rent space in a walk in fridge. And still drink plenty of water so you don't get dehydrated. That would suck.<br /><br />Lovely photos.

It is incredible! Do you have access to a wheel? Check them out at the fiber festivals and find one that YOU like, that fits you and your needs. A while back I was teaching adults working to GED or for college prep in upstate NY, and some were recent immigrants (mostly from Russia, which it still was, or Cambodia/VietNam area). One of the young Vietnamese men was shocked by the Syracuse winter. He tried to explain to his family back home and ended up telling them it was like living in the refrigerator.Lisa/knitnzuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11818145565043351659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-577210556432625675.post-50076901187005093322010-05-26T13:57:20.223-05:002010-05-26T13:57:20.223-05:00Wow, the fact that this came off a spindle?
