When It Rains, It Pours!
Mood:  bright
Now Playing: Men Without Hats "Safety Dance"

Today, DH, the kids and I went on the Wool Tour up in NH. I love this show, and always find something neat.

Today's purchases included two CD's from Anne at the Wool Room (Enya and a Cape Breton fiddle CD), a children's book for my boys which is extremely funny, and several patterns from Lisa Lloyd which will work well with the angora yarn I'll be selling at Rhinebeck. Lisa's patterns are fabulous if you haven't already seen them.

Anyway, I did stop and take a few pictures of what things looked like up in NH. Due to the excessive rains we had yesterday (my area of Western MA had almost 6 inches of rain!!!), there was some serious flooding going on up in NH. Portions of the roads were closed, including the road up to Mirage Alpacas and Western View Farm.










And yes, this was covering a portion of the road, and had also made this bridge impassible because the water had torn out large chunks of pavement at the beginning of the bridge.

This wasn't the worst of it; right before we got into Hillsboro, Route 202 was closed because of the severe flooding right before the intersection of Route 9, and that there were 2 propane tanks floating down the river before the bridge. Scary, huh?

I went on the Wool Tour on Saturday and I was so glad I did. Even though it poured all day the roads were still passable at that point. Now we have terrible flooding up here. I hope you were still able to make it to Mirage alpacas?? They had some lovely fiber there and the animals are always such fun!
