I had yet another person at work look at me with horror when she found out I go camping. My immediate co-workers all agree “camping” means staying in an RV… with a TV, DVD player, etc. I don’t get it. And, frankly, I feel kind of sorry for them. Being outside with all that fresh air is fantastic and roughing it a little makes you really appreciate a dry house and a hot shower. Heck, we don’t really rough it when we camp since we always have bath houses and I have my air mattress. Regardless, camping is FUN and I sleep like a rock at night. We do it as much because staying in hotels is expensive as because we like it. I'd rather spend my money on much more fun things. Still, these people consider it a horrible hardship to do what my friends and i do. I know, I know… to each his own. I just don’t get it.

Camping!
Galen's all dejected because Mom's going CAMPING! I leave today and I'm totally psyched! I'm taking a couple of soap-making classes, a spinning/dyeing silk class and spinning bunny. I'm far more excited about the classes and the camping than I am about the actual festival. It's not like I need to buy anything.

The sun is back!
Few things make Seli happier than baking in the sun. She was very happy this weekend.
The 3-ply Cormo yarn became a 2-ply over the weekend. The third ply would have taken too long to spin. Naturally, I forgot to take a picture of it before dumping it in a bath. I'll try and remember to take a picture tomorrow before I box it up.
I put my tent up yesterday which was no mean feat on a windy day. It's a four-person tent which means when flat, the darn thing acts like a sail. Even after it was completely up, it was blowing around the yard. Definitely going to have to stake it or it'll end up in the next camp site.
I've looked for biodegradable dish soap but the closest I've found was soap that, once dumped in a hole in the ground, can be broken down by natural bacteria in the dirt. Maybe that's the stuff I'm looking for. Anyone know?
