Grizzly

-
First grizzly for this year, busy eating sedge grass over by cattle guard, not all that far from my house. Just got two pix before he-she moved on, will keep camera handy just in case it shows back up. Click on pix to show bear better. Someone once asked me why I don't get closer pix, I didn't have to say anything, as soon as it was said person realized what they had said.

Trip to town cancelled again, gout in my left ankle and foot wold make driving and walking most uncomfortable. As soon as the gout eases will undertake the trip. May go to Tatla tomorrow to see what produce they have on hand.

    Wow! Great photos of the bears!! And for the love of Mike, do not get any closer!! Do they ever come closer to your house? I can imagine that you, and your neighbors, are very careful about garbage for that very reason. I am sorry that you are having trouble navigating. I have knee issues, both knees, and broke my right ankle in 3 places almost 2 years ago. It is the pits not being able to get around the way you want to, isn't it? I hope you make it into town on Saturday to get some fresh produce. I have a friend who has just gotten the first cucumber from her garden. That is the very best thing about summer to me - the fresh veggies, and especially the tomatoes. Take care of yourself, and stay safe.

    I have a real phobia about bears! Family camp was in the Adirondack Mountains in NYS. Everyone wanted to go to the dump to see the bears with their kids. Not me! I have nightmares about bearsl

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...

Gloves and such

In 2015 I sent Jean Miles in  Edinburgh a surprise pair of the gloves I'd been working on while rereading her blogs, first pix one taken at her place. Second taken while dressed in woolies to go on an recent outing.                       Orangerinos all finished waiting for a dip thru a Eucalan bath.  Current pair started with a base colour of turquoise, leftover Koigu choices are getting a bit thinner but still have enuff to finish this pair. When I first started saving Koigu it could be had for $9 a skein, now  I believe its over $16 US (means almost $21 Canadian, plus crazy post from wherever it comes from). Also have socks on needles, this is one of the last pair ordered (ahem a couple of years ago), no pix yet as I believe they are to be a surprise. For the most part this winter has  been verra mild, right now there isn't any snow, none. According to weather peoples we are due for another blast of arctic a...

 Long time.  Made these for a  lady  in  Banff,  she chose the colours. When I sent a pix she said she didn't like  where and how I'd placed the colours in the patterns. Slowly I replied. Then she said when I knit the next pair to put this colour with another etc, again  slowly (burn underway)  I told her that it didn't work that way.  Wouldn't do another, so she said she'd take them the way they were with a discount.  Honey, to late sold them elsewhere. And I 'm glad I don't take any  money  up front. Fraternal and size 10. Have come really close to making the ugliest Monstersocks, bottom pix are closest so far. Was without the internet from 15 - 29 April, amazing how  much  knitting time that freed up. Did the  3 pair shorties in  that  time frame, mix and match.  All are the same number of rows approx sized 7.5 to 8.5.   Next pair  were to fill an older order. Spring has finally s...
