After Autumn - Before Winter and the Trapline

 Three generations of Ingebrigtsen's, David, Kay and Karl


One of the best ways to get in the holiday spirit is shopping at the annual Fiber Arts Guild show.  Such an array of unique, handmade tree ornaments, hats, mittens, scarves, earrings, necklaces, rugs, artwork and more! Having been here for 21 years, most are familiar faces even if their names escape me.  Funny how the longer I am here the more names I forget.  The Art Colony Building hosts the show.  We all know it will be crowded but none want to miss all that is there at the opening.

Live and lovely music from the choir loft of the tiny former church while we shop and chat.
 For the first time since we've been here and Dave has been trapping, I actually got my license and joined the week of martin harvest. This box is on it's way to a new location near the end of the line.
 
 Here is a trap box being set.  The bait at the far end. It was a small harvest this year for everyone that I have heard about.
