Weird things make me happy

It can be said that that I am not normal.....I wish I could say that there isn't some truth to that statement.  For the most part, I am perfectly happy with not being a "normal" girl, but once in a while I wish I were a bit more girly, but that is not who I am, and that's ok too.
For example, one of my birthday gifts was a Hereford bull.....one time I received a wheel barrow for a Mother's day present and for the most part, I'm not a "gotta have flowers" kinda gal.  Simple things make me happy.
So you can probably understand how this next addition to our place has me positively giddy with excitement.......

I uploaded this file 12 times.......I rotated the picture in every program I have installed on my computer and it still loads so that it has to be viewed laying down.......so, sorry, but I just can't seem to get this photo to load properly and I'm going to give up and just post the darned thing.  I think you get the idea here, it's a new fence and it's already been a huge asset to our place.  Now, if I can just get that addition on the shed.

This is a lace shawl made entirely of Cormo that has been spun and knit by Betty Garpow, and it's stunning.   Betty is such a talented spinner and knitter, and she was kind enough to bring along a few projects for all of us to see.  I can only dream of spinning and knitting at the level that Betty has achieved.

Toodles for now.
