I just stepped into the bedroom to examine the corner tag on the four-point blanket headed soon to summer storage; this vintage blanket came from my Dad's house. I remember noticing the England manufacture, but didn't pursue it further. Wikipedia says wool from Britain and New Zealand is used, and there are several importers in the US (LLBean being one of them. I bought a green with black stripes wool blanket from them years ago that I still use, probably made by the same folks.) So those will stick around, as will the coats and mackinaws.
Neighbors are mowing this afternoon, and I need to also. The soaking we got yesterday will contribute to a soggy operation, but better to do the mowing today and try the tilling tomorrow, after our lunch.
Today is granola making day, and I mixed a 1.5X size batch that is now baking. A couple of weeks ago I came across a Rubbermaid container at Goodwill with a great lid that is flexible enough to withstand freezing. I keep some of each batch of granola in an acrylic storage jar on the counter, the rest in the freezer, and this new used one is large enough to hold more than the previous container (the lid cracked). I won't have to make granola as often now.
My favorite gourmet grocery store was written up in the local newspaper on Thursday, including the wonderful Saturday market, so I'll avoid the extra crowd for a while and shop early on weekdays. And it was officially labeled a "salvage" grocery, but it isn't, not like the ones I've seen in the past that sold dented cans and cans without labels. They deal with vendors around the US with products they aren't going to sell (I often remark that this is where failed ideas come to die) - brands or flavors that didn't catch the public's attention will still get used here, and when it's gone, it's gone.
