Autumn trees swept with dawn
Look as if they've been lacquered,
Rooted around an old battlefield,
The mists linger here like ghosts.
(Deng Ming~Dao)
The morning comes early, fair week..... however, the journey to the fairgrounds from my house is one of the sweetest ones here in the Valley. As I rounded the corner, sipping on my coffee, I couldn't resist stopping and sharing a little bit of my life here with you.
This week will be too busy for much blogging, so I thought that I would share a picture of a fiber artist,their products,and contact information with you each day, starting tomorrow.
I was a wee bit excited when I checked out the judging ribbons yesterday. I ended up entering 9 items for judging and received 7 ribbons......5 were blue and 2 were red :-))) Annie asked the question last week if we thought that blogging had enhanced our lives. I for one can honestly say yes. With your encouragement, I have pushed myself to try things that I may never had tried.......so in a little way, these ribbons belong to you all too ;-)
Enjoy the week~
Lovely photos - there are times I miss the autumn trees/pastures in the fog. Conga-rats on the ribbons!!

Congratulations Kim! That is a quite an accomplishment. And, I love your pictures...they sort of remind me of something from a Thomas Hardy novel...just beautiful.
