LAST SATURDAY, we started our Valentine's Day with a drive to Rising Meadows Farm for the spring sheep shearing -- Rising Meadows is in Liberty and down the road from the famous Goat Lady Dairy in Climax, maker of the most wonderful goat cheeses 
and yogurts on the planet. Last spring, we sampled a variety of their cheeses at one of their wait-listed Sunday brunches, and walked off the calories with a tour of the farm, the goats and those beautiful little 
"gourmet hens" with the wild feathers and colors (forgot what they're called, but a friend raises them on her farm in Charlottesville and once brought me some of their multi-colored eggs). ANYWAY, the last time we were at Rising Meadows was when we took Olivia there for the apple harvest in 2005 (photo, right). This time, we met up with our friends Scott and Louise, then followed them back to their farm where we were joined by two more couples... and the guys cooked a delicious dinner for the gals! Most wonderful Valentine's Day I've ever had! I've 
just started a new knitting project with yarn spun from last year's shearings. The yarns (photo, bottom right) are dyed except for the brown, which is wonderful natural colored Corriedale.
