Mini Monstersocks

-
Left home for town on 18th, finally got my snow tires on the car on the 18th, presented me, car and my knitting at Kal Tires and said I would wait until they could do the car, within 30 minutes car was in. Yeehaw. So now legal to drive highways in BC. Then on the 19th dentist and DR., am now off the Warfarin and taking Eliquis instead, no more having to go to Tatla for blood letting. That's a real bonus with winter coming on.

Brought quite a load of groceries home with me, many things to last thru the winter. TP, Kleenex, laundry soap, shampoo, etc., Angie L came with her friend Karen and unloaded the car, then gathered up all the empty water bottles, 3 large garbage bags full.

Finished the small pair of mini Monstersocks for Jo K's granddaughter. Pair for her grandson on the needles. I trade socks for dump runs, with my gimpy hip dump can be pretty slippery and its much safer for Jo to take goodies away. And it only goes when she is going anyway.
Also have current wild Monstersocks on the go first sock well down the foot, limey green with lots of colours. Much further along than what pix shows. After these another pair of socks to go to Gail V in Fernie, BC.
Found on the net and its pretty appropriate for me.

    My husband LOVES his "new life" on Eliquis! Now he can have unlimited salads without messing up an INR. Hope you do well on it, too.

    Love the socks! Glad you are stocking up for winter, and have "dump" help. You need to keep your hip happy for spinning.

4 more pair on needles, work on each for at least 10 rows every other day before putting it down. Blue pair is farest along and have everything ready for sock #2. Blue pair will be identical all the others fraternal. A couple of nights ago bout 9pm saw a blue heron land in tree just south of the house, watched it preen for some time and when it was to dark for a pix 2 more landed in tree beside the first. Same day saw a kingfisher dive towards the river. Bear activity has cooled down, assume they are over at the Chilko River system fishing for salmon. Last black I saw was just its backside as it headed for the west fence got a quick pix but not worth posting. Nothing much happening in my wild mountain valley these days, some ranchers have finally been able to start cutting hay, and everyone else is hoping for rain. So many bad fires in BC again this season.

Finally got myself to town Dec. 27-28. Prescriptions, haircut, groceries, and most important getting bank Visa problems straightened out. Tried dealing with bank via telephone and both times I connected got someone that wouldn't acknowledge that I was hard of hearing, heavy accents didn't help. Had 7 charges for Play Station almost $1000, since I've never even seen one, wasn't me . Because of all the weird charges they wouldn't activate the new Visa card. A good weather window opened so in I went, took almost an hour getting everything straightened out. Meanwhile when I did get to the grocery store almost filled my buggy with produce and fruit. Had help unloading the car when I got home Thursday 3 ish. Did bring a nasty bout of the local crud home with me, first time in several years that a cold hit me so hard.  One of the first pair of Koigu gloves I did were for me, but last winter I snagged middle finger on a nail on my handrail, brought them up front, cut off da

Grizzlies

May 30th had a visiting grizzly complete with two yearling cubs, camera at hand got 3 pix before she and cubs wandered off. 2023 season off to a good start, 2 blacks and 3 griz in my yard. Sock knitting continues as always, pix of latest finished pair of Monstersocks. As soon aas they were finished started another pair using a midnight blue Hawthorne from Knit Picks, but instead of Monstersocks am going back to old standby fair-nordic patterns, dk blue will be main colour then orange, med gray, red and white for the patterns. Fairly conservative for my knitting. Went into town on Monday, oil change, checked in at Speedy Glass about a new windshield (come back in a week), picked up my new glasses, then a motel for the night. Tuesday had dentist appointment at 9 am, think its the last for a while, then renewed ICBC (license plate and insurance for another year), picked up some groceries and lastly Kal Tire where I finally got winter tires off my Subie (they go back on October 1).
