Sheep On Parade!!

Hello on this chicken tacos with homemade guacamole Friday!!

The next page of our adventure has us wandering in and around Lenox on Day 2:


We had indeed been to Colorful Stitches before, and they are still there today!!!  I don't recall if I bought anything there, though!

We also tracked down and visited (all?  most?) of Sheeptacular.  This was when municipalities all over the place (it seemed) went crazy with a standard thing (sheep, horses, you name it), commissioned local artists to paint/decorate/disguise them, put them all over the place, and then in (some? all?) instances auctioned them off as a fundraiser.  Can you imagine having one of these in your garden?  That would be so awesome!!

We had met up at Colorful Stitches prior to this trip - I think I was headed in one direction, and Neuro in the other (or something like that!).  At least one of those times we got lunch and sat in a park across the street(ish) from the shop and hung out there for a while (with yarn, of course!).  It was quiet and lovely!

I got a wee bit of knitting done yesterday, but nothing major to report.

Stay safe and well :)

OK, meeting up before this trip is a vivid memory! You gave me a big basket with lots of small quantities of hand spun. I still use the basket, and I still have some of the yarn, too! I remember being so exciting about all that yarn because it was a huge range of fibers and colors.

Poisons

Macinnis, Peter (2004). Poisons: From Hemlock to Botox and the Killer Bean of Calabar. New York: Arcade Publishing. From the author’s web site : "As usual, I am interested in the people, their interactions and the social effects that poisons have had, as well as the science. There is an exquisite beauty in the way tetrodotoxin is made harmless to its hosts, the way a wasp moth vomits over its mate, or the way a mongoose withstands the venom of the cobra. To me, these are things worth exploring, so I do. " In his book, Macinnis endeavors to describe poisonous compounds and their science, relate which historical figures are implicated in the use of these poisons, and document how these poisons are referred to literature. He then attempts to weave all of these aspects together. Macinnis does indeed attempt to cover aspects of science, people, and all the history inbetween, but he does not seem quite able to cover everything in a consistent, coherent way. I think there is just to
