[Ravensfort] what are you working on?

[jacinth]

Greetings,

Having just returned from a week in Trimaris, I haven't kept up on things 
and am a bit late inquiring...  what have you been working on this month?

I have been knitting and working on a translation of an article.  I have also
aquired a few books (what else is new?)... one in particular is _Lichens of
North America_ .  It is a wonderous book (some 800 pages with color 
pictures throughout), and very helpful in identifying dye producing lichen.  
I have been able to identify 2 or 3 in my parent's acreage.  Very exciting.  
It has pictures, descriptions, and chemical tests for identification.  I'll have 
to bring it to a few meetings for you to enjoy it... anyone interested should 
contact me, it is extremely heavy and not likely to get toted around execpt
when wanted.

I have also learned to spin silk, as of last month.  I am still practicing, but
it is not as hard as imagined.

On a personal note, I am happy to announce my betrothal as of Wednesday.
I am sure nobody is surprised, but I didn't want anyone thinking I was
keeping it a secret.  :)

Regards,
-Jacinth-
