Summer Break and Knitting

Here we are again. The fall, winter, and spring semesters are gone. . . and summer semester begins next week. We have time this summer to enjoy the farm and share some experiences with our followers.
I have begun a new sweater, just in time for summer. I figure it will be perfect for this next fall. It has knitted up quite fast!

Poco, We love you.

Poco will be missed and never forgotten.
