Lady of The Lakes Renaissance Faire 2021

It was wonderful to be back at the Lady of The Lakes Renaissance Faire. This year the SCA did fighting demos for the audience.

The wonderful soup made in the kitchen on site. Cabbage with pork dumplings, turnips, and parsnips.

Crissy let me borrow a ceramic bowl that she made and added some of her fresh made raviolis.

Another type of ravioli made in the kitchen. This one featured a creamy egg filling.

Golden Hour

The light from the setting sun fell perfectly thru my window and I loved the way it highlighted the color of my eyes.

Growing and Going

Eight weeks came and went. I loved watching these little kittens grow but the time was approaching to find them good homes. 

Watching them all eat, marveling at what a little circus my life had become.

Melody and her husband John adopted the black and white kitten and named her Suri.

Kathryn and her youngest son Alex came to pick up the yellow kitten. They named him Carnage. 

Christi and her husband Ian adopted the black kitten who was named Abigail.

I loved giving them a good start and watching them grow. I’m so glad they all went to wonderful homes.
