Saturday some Fiber friends and I helped out at a farm on Sheep Shearing Day. What a cool experience.
At the end of day, after a hearty meal I was given a dozen farm eggs to take home. They weren’t washed yet so could be left on the counter. What a great offering.
The taste of a farm egg is like no other. Delicious. So flavorful and rich.
Raspberries are my favorite berry.
How do you feel about squash?

My friends and I walked to Idylwilde Farms yesterday and saw these funny looking pumpkins called knuckleheads.
“Knucklehead pumpkins were created in 2008 in Holland, Michigan by Siegers Seed Company. It took over ten generations of cross-breeding to create the variety covered in warts…”
