We spent the long wekend with dear friends in Canaan Valley, West Virginia.  We wandered around Blackwater Falls and the park surrounding it.  We’ve had unseasonably warm weather in the DC area over the last few weeks, but thankfully West Virginia is holding on to some winter. 

I flirted with birches, like I do.   They flirted back.

The world is full of intertwinings. 

I wish I could live in this wondrous little grove.

The cabin was surrounded by beautiful things as well.  This lichenous tree graces the dooryard. 

When we weren’t staring at trees or playing in the snow, we were cooking, playing tunes, and just generally having a great time. 

We were lucky enough to be in town for a Wiyos show at the Purple Fiddle.  Teddy Weber makes an astounding addition to the band, and I am itching to hear their new album.  They played many tracks from it, and their expanded sound is fantastic. 

A complete aside . . . I finished that second pair of Hedgerows a while ago and finally got around to snapping a picture.  I’m making slow progress on my hooked rug and fast progress on some very boring ribbed socks and sewing like a fiend, all the while wishing I still lived in the mountains.
