This time a sow grizzly with two of this years cubs. Two pix altho first wasn't worth saving, second shows sow and the two cubs. Can just see my east fence in the background.
Wow! What a privilege to be able to see such wonderful creatures so close. I know you must be careful if you venture out, but to think that you can see them outside your window is amazing.
What a great photo! I too think it must be an incredible place. I am trying to picture how you all sneak out to your car or to the garden. It must be interesting.

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...
I use vintage 4 inch 2.25 mm needles for the fingers of my gloves, when one came up missing yesterday I was close to panic. Searched thru all possible places, even went so far as checking box of currently used stuff, zero. After giving it up to the needle eating monster, went for supper. After picked up another project and bingo the lost needle had been stuck into the ball of yarn on the project. RELIEF. Not at all sure I could buy the 4 inchers anymore. Had two late afternoon visits with Thunderman and Lightfoot, lots of noise and spectacular light show, followed by the most welcome heavy hard rain. Puddles in my driveway in just minutes. Since I last wrote made a trip to Prince George, BC to Subaru dealership, appointment Thursday at 8:30 for windshield replacement, had knitting with for the 4-5 hour wait. Car was finished just after 12:30, headed south, made it to 100 Mile House where I overnight at Super 8, then early Friday south again to Ashcroft and Desert Hills farms. Boug...
After adding last pix to previous post, had problems with my computer. Couldn't get it to do anything, so restart was in order. The space bar, double or triple a's and e's, means its time to shop for a new laptop or something. The summer so far hasn't been to bad, temps in mid 20's is OK, some mornings with single digit lows cools house nicely. Have only had one fire in the area, north of Tatla Lake in Martin Lake area lots of men on the ground and helicopters in the sky kept careful track of it until it was called held. Helicopters could fill the buckets from really close Tatla Lake. Relief. And enuff rain in Tatlako that most areas are still almost green. I keep what I call a go bag right by car keys, important stuff like passport, wallet, small amount of cash, change of clothes etc. Easy to grab if I had to leave in a hurry. My ne...
