RHODE ISLAND AND MASSACHUSETTS SHEEP & WOOL FESTIVALS

So happy to see the sun and feel the crisp air this morning after several days of rain and humidity.  A very raucous thunderstorm came through yesterday evening and brought with it a very nice spring day for us to enjoy!

This weekend in Rhode Island you can attend the 6th Annual Sheep and Wool Festival at Coggeshell Farm Museum  in Bristol, Rhode Island.  Great location and a nice day trip.
