    It must feel great to be home, although I imagine you are still on alert and have to be ready to leave again should the fires threaten again. That was wonderful that your neighbour was able to help you when you got home.

    Hope all is well. Keep safe. We're getting lots of smoke/haze from BC fires. Temperature forecast of 100 degrees plus for the next few days.

Christmas Eve

 THAT WAS THEN THIS  IS NOW In a fit of depravity I ripped the above sock out, just wasn't happy working on it, so now its toast. And I feel better even seeing the small leftover balls. Went thru all project bags looking for my Koigu yarn, and in the bag found a glove already started. Back now to my much loved gloves. A number of years ago traded two different people gloves for 5 balls of Koigu each (was much cheaper then). Plus had bought lots from eBay, so have enuff to make many more pair, especially since I save all left over little balls.  Eventually I'll go back to making socks (its in the blood). I'm not taking orders anymore tho, will just make what I like (especially Monster Socks).  Maybe now and then a pair of fair isle type. Its going to be a brown and mild Christmas, one of the few since I've lived here. Snow in forecast for the middle of next week. The  best part of the holiday season  (IMHO) is the World Junior Hockey tournament, in Europe...

This and That

Typical lunch   this  time  of  year,  tomatoes  from Desert  Hills in Ashcroft  (banana belt of  BC).  Went down and picked  up a  25 pound  box  of ripe  field tomatoes,  have had one with every meal since  getting  home. Ashcroft is a good  5  hour drive, so it  has to be  a planned trip,  expensive to  drive that  far  but so  worth  it for  me.     Finished another  pair  of scrapper socks, used  as many  of the brighter colours  as I could  find in the stash.  Ended up quite liking them.  They will go into a  basket for  Christmas  giving. And   have two  more pair on the  needles.  The darker pair look like black is the main  colour but its actually  a really dark blue. The  blue - greens  is from last blog, all  leftover...

That was then  This  is  now Finished this pair last night, came out better than  I thought they would. Best part used up lots of small leftover balls.  This is a pix of my wild mountain valley, unknown source for the pix. Went to town last Friday  mostly to handle Visa problems (again). While  there I found  real field tomatoes at Beaver  Valley  feed store,  not what   I would  call first quality   but  hey  I know  how  to cut  funny spots off. They taste good and that is the most important part. Did what I call down n dirty, in and  out in  one day (6  hours total driving). Plus several places to stop and walk around. Took me two days to recover.  Grocery store was a bit of a winter stock up walk thru, TP, Scotties tissues, canned goods, extra salt, flour, things I don't want to run out of over the winter. With  football season  under way (both colle...
