More critters

-
They are everywhere, 9:30 am and two black bear traveling together, imagine a sow with last years cub (pretty well full size). Last year I didn't see a bear in my yard, already this June have seen 5, 4 blacks and the one grizzly. Bear aware and ABC, (always be careful). Will check with other valley peoples to see if any one else is seeing as many as I do. The second pix was taken thru wool room window, can see edge of window frame, so critters were again fairly close.

I am so glad that there are windows all around in the wool room, so for the most part any movement I usually see right away. Keeping camera close by. Now if I only knew how to get pix from laptop to iPad.

    Amazing! These are great photos! Maybe the bears are enjoying the lack of humans just as other species are around the world. This staying at home stuff has been a real boon for turtles during nesting season, and I would think other animals are enjoying having their habitats to themselves, too. I know that you are always careful when you go out, so stay safe and well.

    I love the bear pictures! Would love to see more pictures of the landscape where you live. It looks lovely.

    I suspect that is a mating pair of black bears. It is their mating season here in Michigan. We had a pair come dashing through our yard in northern Michigan while we sitting outside one mid June evening. They just zoomed right by us, paying no attention to us. We were......stunned. And are a lot more careful about sitting outside on June evenings now.

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...
