Dark Too Early

We take the glorious daylight for granted then poof it's gone. Soon the cold winds will blow off Lake Ontario bringing the storms. When they come all I want to do is hunker down and spin wool. I did my civic duty today and voted at the little town hall in Brookfield. The Ladies walked me through the new ballot where I have to color in the squares then run it through a machine. Hope my democrat wins, but it's iffy. Northern New Yorkers are largely conservative. Dinner done, out to the barn to feed the sheep, goats, chickens, dogs and cats. Back inside to sew and spin. Big show coming up on Dec. 5 in Syracuse - the Plowshares Craft Show sponsored by the Peace Council. I like the sound of that. I also like the distance - one hour and 15 minutes from the farm. The following week I travel to New Hope, Pa., for the Delaware Riverkeeper craft show. I'm looking forward to both. Have to work like crazy but I'm not really feeling it with all this darkness...but there's the hay issue and all those hungry mouths out in the barn.
