I had thought to make August the month of stuff from the farm stand, because it is the perfect month for fruit and veg here in New England. Except I found this glorious object at one of my favorite farms:

I am smitten.

It may be an entire month of sunflower(s).

Brace yourselves.

Oh – I met a fellow blogger (Simmy from England), we had a fine fiber crawl through Northampton, stopping at Valley Fabrics and Webs. She’s traveling with her family – charming husband and three kids. They are staying with her friends from the blogosphere all around the Eastern states. It is a very cool trip. Her husband calls it the Blog Tour.

In the Small World Dept; it turns out her husband did a degree with the woman who was later my boss at New England Science Center.

I am very much liking this meeting friends from the ether in the real world.   

So if any of my faithful readers would like a place to crash in Massachusetts, give me a holler.
