Flax Fiber

This has been one busy, busy week. We have been picking hazelnuts and starting to process some of them, have been at the farmer's market three days, have had to water all of our second plantings since we have only had 2/10ths of a inch of rain for all of August. Ann canned apple sauce and spaghetti sauce. I started digging some of my russet potatoes which look very nice even if there are not many potatoes in each hill. I'll probably dig some more of those for market this week.
Yesterday was a holiday and we had friends here so this will be a short week and another busy one. We picked red oak acorns today and will do that at least one more day. We also want to go harvest wild rice at least one more time and we want to pick more hazelnuts! And, I'll be at market three days.
 On a different note the pic is of some of our flax fiber which we processed some time last week. We just did that little dab to see what it would look like. We are quite pleased with it, Ann did the thigh twist thing with it and made a nice piece of fine cord. Hopefully we will have time soon to do up a large batch and get some actually spun. Ann has also been busy trying to get some more llama yarn ready for me to take to market.
