New England


Take me home country roads!

There isn’t a lot of work with sheep in the south so I made a trip north to New England to get a little more experience riding with veterinarians from Tufts University and working with the amazing group called SVF in Newport. They are working to create a genetic bank of all the rare breeds in the US. It is a beautiful setting with a lot of interesting work going on.


 

While I am up here I decided to take a little time to go explore, and of course I went looking for a nifty local yarn shop. And what a find! This store was packed with barely walking room between the stands of yarn, fleece, tools, and finished products. It was amazing! I ended up bringing home a few skeins of yarn to make a shawl from. Maybe I can finish before I head home so I can keep myself warm in this New England air!
