Regretted not bringing the nice DSLR camera my mom just passed down to me when I visited the Japanese Gardens on Easter to admire the cherry blossoms. Still had a good day. It was sunny and warm and the gardens were beautiful.

I know i have several people who do several types of spinning following me here, so maybe one of you can help me out on this frivolous little sidequest:

When I was a Youth (many centuries ago) my mother taught me to spin in the way she had been taught to spin. You carve a stick so it has a smooth tip, put some cleaned wool in a bag and take out a tuft at a time to twist it around your stick as you turn it so it forms a thin thread. This was apparently what the local farmers did to keep their hands busy as they walked their fields. My mother was apparently a Deviant Youth who plucked bits of wool from fences to spin (these were wild times).

I thought this technique was (translated to) drop spinning, but looking that up it is not.

Can anyone tell me what this spinning technique is called?

A beautiful, blue sky outside. The air is crisp but going to get quite warm this weekend. I am enjoying trying a new type of tea and drinking from my favorite mug.

Last day of September, a clear, cool autumn day. Got to pet this friendly, fluffy cat while walking to a coffee shop.
