					<description><![CDATA[Hello there! Â I realize that my posts here are coming very infrequently in the past few years. Â It&#8217;s been almost 12 years (!!) since I began this little blog and life has becomeÂ busy in many other ways and my energies are going elsewhere. Â I&#8217;m using Instagram as one of my &#8216;blogging&#8217; outlets more often now, [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The dye garden is doing fabulously this year! Â The Hopi sunflowers are over 10 feet tall, the madder is prolific, and the indigo is lush. Â Our indigo (Dyer&#8217;sÂ Knotweed or Polygonum tinctorium) grows very well in the North Carolina mountains and this week was indigoÂ harvest time!

					<description><![CDATA[I am having so much fun experimenting with natural dyes these days. Â Every time I see a bright flower, or a colorful tree, I think, &#8220;Oooooh, I wonder what color dye that would make?&#8221; Â This weekend, I got together with Nikki ofÂ Woolen Violet, my fiber partner in crime, and we trashed the kitchen! 🙂 Let [&#8230;]]]></description>

Â So, I thought, why don&#8217;t I try to rehab this one and see what becomes of it. Â  It was made sometime around the [&#8230;]]]></description>

The theme park was started in 1970 by Grover Robbins (who started Tweetsie Railroad). Â In its first year, it attracted over 20,000 visitors. Unfortunately, Grover died a few months before its opening and [&#8230;]]]></description>

Â But, our paint had frozen over the winter and was no good so we had to put that off for another day. Â Leif would have none of this and insisted that he paint [&#8230;]]]></description>
