No, not like fox. Guild meeting this morning, time to show off projects for the "Use the color you hate most" challenge. My piece was well-received. Photo of finished item tomorrow maybe when I'm more awake. This is the "Purple Onions Make Me Cry" table runner. I posted photos of it partly completed months ago.

Next year's challenge? "Weave a Green Bag" by which they mean either a shopping carry-all to avoid using paper or plastic disposables or else a bag of any sort made from recycled materials. Should be easier than either of the last two. There's a year before that has to be completed, so no worries now.

Committed to do that day-long historic spinning demo again, the one I did last June where people didn't know what spinning was for or how cloth was made or that cotton came from a plant. And no, I didn't kill the sheep to get its wool.

Library door count 965 for today. Way above normal for W-day. Attributed to the fact that school ended for the summer this afternoon and the library is right next to a playground. (They come into the library to use the restrooms and water fountains, not to read.

And that's the news for today. Good night.

Interesting. That's 20 hands. Normal for a Clyde is 18 to 19, so Remington is indeed tall. However, I'm sure I've read that Clydesdales have made it to 21 hands or more in height on occasion. I suppose there may not be a living example at the moment.

It's amazing how sweet and gentle they usually are. Probably a good thing, though. Next to an elephant, I can't think of many animals that large that I'd want to be around.
