I wish I had such a skill. I did learn to crochet as a teenager and made a purple shawl in the shell pattern. Last year I thought I might try taking it up again but quickly realized that I don't have the patience needed, I did make a couple of nice squares that I use under some ceramic pieces I have. :) A couple of years ago I bought some yarn from the alpaca lady that is a vendor at our farmers market. I loved that it came from her animal and it is the natural color of this particular alpaca. Then I sent it to my good friend who is a wonderful knitter and she made a neat hat for me!! I love all the things you guys have made and the admire the skills you have. Oh and I see that I am wearing earrings that my friend made for me as well!

This is my first time through your alphabet run, so forgive me that this is the best I can come up with for A - a sign I liked in Albuquerque (the three-u and two-q town that starts with A). Why oh why did I not snap any good pictures in Acadia National Park? Or even one of those Antiques signs I saw along Highway 50 on Sunday? Wolf burgers it is.

A few of our mountain valley’s wild horses. I took this on the road in front of our home as I was driving in one day. You can see more in my car’s rear view mirror.
