Funky hats and a recycling machine


In our continuing saga of our adventures in Leavenworth, we noticed a proponderous plethora of funky hats around town. We followed the silliness to the local hattery and had fun trying out a few. Here is Lisa modelling Tom Turkey and A Gardening Pot on myself.

The fall temperatures have finally arrived! It was pretty frosty this morning. The garden plot is looking very sad.

This evening we headed to Britain for our menu inspiration; sheppard's pie with steamed carrots and cabbage. I got a chance to try out the little veggie/rice steamer. It worked like a charm! Anni discovered that she loves brown sauce!

Ari and I went to the bookstore this evening to peruse the used books and magazines. There was great R&B band playing in the common's area. We encountered a lady with an interesting machine. I looked a little bit like a small spinning wheel. We had to ask what it was. Turns out, it was an unraveler. She purchases used sweaters of interesting wools from the used clothing stores and unravels them. Then she blends these yarns with other fibers to make beautiful scarves, blankets, etc. We thought this was a pretty cool recycling gadget!
