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...
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...
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...
