Socks & Critters

All four socks now have the heels done and turned, the purple pair have stitches picked up for the gusset. Won't ever do this experiment again, much prefer one or maybe two on needles at a time. Will now set the other 3 aside and finished the purple sock and do its mate, then continue working on just one at a time until they are done.

Bear situation slowing down, have only seen 2 black bears in last week or so. Hopefully they have moved to the high country where they belong this time of year. Summer was so slow starting that the high country still had a good bit of snow and very little for them to eat. Last black didn't exactly present for the best pix, by the time I grabbed camera he was headed into the shadows.

The valley has had enuff rain that everything is as green and growing fast as it could be. Including the most invasive nasty Dalmation toad flax, the yellow flower much resembles one called butter and eggs, unfortunately nothing eats it or almost nothing kills it (except a hard freeze). And gardeners certainly don't want that to happen. I went up to Selmas garden and got 1.5 lbs of just picked spinach, love it in every possible way, yesterdays breakfast was a spinach omelet.
