I was recently told that this is the coldest Spring on record since....forever! And I believe it. We've had so much rain and and freezing temperatures that it is hard to believe that it's closer to Summer than Winter (technically of course). In Fairhaven, there have been a lot of fun events to attempt to usher in the sun. Accompanied by Robin and Carol, I worked at the Fairhaven Toy Garden booth at Dirty Dan Days. We were teaching children (and anyone who wanted to learn) how to make wet felted balls. In order to do this, you put wool roving into a nylon, dip it in warm soapy water and then alternate pounding it on the bricks or rolling it between your palms. By far the best part was watching the children smacking their balls onto the ground, sending sprays of sudsy water every which way. Over 150 balls were made and we had a great time helping the kids and listening to the live music.
