Back From the Mountain

by Wendy on November 6, 2005

I got home from the Knitters Review Retreat earlier this afternoon. Tired! We were having too much fun to actually sleep, so I’m going to need to do some catching up tonight.

I think the foliage was at its most beautiful this weekend. Here’s the view from the front porch outside our room:

It’s hard not to be happy when you are sitting in a rocking chair in the fresh air, knitting, while looking at that, huh?

Here’s an early morning shot of the lodge, shrouded in a mysterious mist.

And just for Sandy, a shot of the sky.

I’ll post progress pix of Mermaid and other assorted fiber-related photos tomorrow. I have to go spend some quality time with Lucy, who had a lot of fun with her daddy this weekend, but nevertheless was very happy to see me.

Beautiful pictures! I was starting to wonder, you didn’t mention taking too much time off this summer. The retreat must have been wonderful!

The foliage pic is the best I’ve seen yet. I could spend a year looking at that! Tell all about the retreat.

What a gorgeous place! the mountains and the fog in the valley, the foliage, the SKY! :) Makes me swoon!

Yawn….where am I? Where are the mountains and the golden leaves? Nope, that wasn’t a bear at the door–it was my dog saying “Wake up and let me out!” But Wendy’s Inky Dinky shawl is the only spider I miss today! ;-) What a great weekend! :-)
