Do you have a passion for making  things entirely by hand or appreciate it in other people? In my teens  and twenties, I got a thrill out of  being my own mechanic on my old  '75 Mustang.  Yep, I've changed a few water pumps and brake pads.  I  have sewn every stitch of handmade  rag dolls with a needle and thread  (no machine stitching), and I prefer to cook from scratch.  Isn't it much  more rewarding to gather family and friends to put in  fence posts, and  raise barns? So naturally for me, prepping the fleece, learning to spin,  and  then making things from the alpacas' luscious fiber is my idea of   happiness!   -Kaylen

Looks like a salamander to me! I love salamanders... I used to be really close with this girl whose house is surrounded by woods. We'd get together all the time, and beneath logs and things in the woods we could always find little orange-ish salamanders. Then there were the yellow spotted salamanders we've seen a few times under the rocks in our garden... and of course, when my family hiked Mt. Monadnock in New Hampshire, we saw red-spotted salamanders all over the place.
But I'll stop now before I write a novel on salamanders... LOL ;)
I love your stories! Keep your camera handy this summer! It sounds like you could write a field guide :)
