Elin hosted our 2nd Monday weavers group on a wintry day in January. Her and Bob’s farm is as beautiful in it’s winter slumber as it is in the bloom of summer.  Their farm with its  beautiful vistas is the epitome of what our Driftless Area of western Wisconsin is. A place of hills and coulees with streams that flood all too often and people who are hardy and kind and, judging from these women that I know, very creative. I feel very fortunate to live here.
