Saw the first of the 2022 season on May 20th, cinnamon coloured grizzly walking down my driveway at 7:20 am. By the time I grabbed my camera it had headed up on hillside above drive, no picture. Next was a black bear eating dandelions over by the cattle guard on May 26th. . Then on May 28 th a sow black with 3 (I think) yearling cubs again not in a good place for a pix. May 29 another black (could easily be same black as on the 26th, not about to get close enuff to ask. Neighbours up and down the valley are seeing them everywhere.

Now just a nice scar (another one of many). Made knitting and or spinni

Current socks on needles. I try and work on each sock every day, maybe just a few rows but can actually see progress. Saturday the 7th was the Williams Lake spinning day, crowd limited to just 40, most long timers. Was verra glad to see old friends after 2 years. Some came from Kamloops, Prince George and everywhere inbetween. I took in the Louet S 90 spinning wheel that I promised to Tricia after she lost everything in the Lytton fire last year. A friend of hers picked wheel up and then took it to Lytton this weekend. Glad to finally have the wheel in its new home. This past Friday back to town for eye exam (overdue) and eyes dilated in preparation for upcoming cataract surgery, likely two months wait. And it will mean a trip to Kamloops somewhere on the journey (6 hour drive). Will be glad to have first eye done then another wait for second. Really noticing the slower eyes especially with fine sock knitting. Leave a comment if you've read the blog so I will know people
