After some googling, I have come to realize that the skunk must have been eaten by an owl. Why an owl would want to eat an skunk, I don't know, and I'm okay with that.
Today is dark, foggy and gray. I'm waiting for the rain to start and the towels to finish drying.
Yes, it really is that exciting over here.
Happy Sunday, people!
And it's MORE in person.
(Yes, those are "reindeer" on the front bumper. No, I don't know why. I try not to ask questions like that.)
Saw that the other day and just HAD to show all y'all. Yes, the burbs are that weird and that's nothing compared some of the other stuff I've seen. 0.o
In other news, there has been an uptick in violence against skunks in my part of the world. Details are sketchy, but there was some kind of attack on a local skunk in the early morning hours today in my side yard. All I know is everything smells like skunk and there are claw/drag marks under the side gate.
Somehow I think I got off lucky. Not knowing details is somehow comforting.
In other other news, it's Friday.
Yes, that's all I've got.
Be grateful. I could be posting links/pics of seasonal sex toys and I think none of us what that.
Happy Friday, people!
When I've got a pink fiber(holding) box?
That is more or less 600 yards of semi-lace weight merino/silk yarn spun from batts that Norma sent me. Remember them? They came from Corgi Hill Farm at Etsy and were just wonderful to spin.
The colorway is Rose Tyler and I did most of the spinning while watching Dr. Who reruns featuring Rose Tyler. She is SO annoying. Thankfully, the batts were not annoying.
In fact, they have me thinking about renting a drum carder.
Yes, like I need another time suck in my life. /sigh
Or partly cloudy.
Just depends on how you're looking at it. As it was cloudy/rainy/SNOWING last week, I'm seeing partly sunny while lasts.
The socks?
They are house socks made from Lamb's Pride (worsted weight) yarn in the Strawberry Smoothie colorway. You know I had to have that yarn when I saw it. I love Lamb's Pride yarn for house socks because the mohair content makes for very warm socks and that's very nice this time of year.
I'm starting to think of this as house season because I always seem to be working them this time of year. They do make great tv knitting.
Aren't you glad I ran out and got new batteries for the camera?
Yeah, me either.
Not nearly as cold this morning has it has been. Still frozen, but it was a nice friendly sort of frozen.
Shut up.
Yesterday, I pulled the hard drive out of my dead computer and am hoping to chat with Teg the geekman about using it as a slave with the new computer. Teg would know if it's possible to enslave it or not and I'm not afraid of letting him see how totally clueless I am. He's mine. He knows all too well how totally clueless I can be. /sigh
If I can't enslave it, I'll be talking to our Beverly about getting the info off the HD for me. I just hate to be a bother. Ya know?
Yesterday, I also managed to take (bad) pics of a hat before mailing it out. Be impressed, people. This nearly didn't happen. It's a 1x1 rib hat that may or may not fit it's intended owner. Thankfully, I'm past caring at this point. I just love the end of the year. Don't you?
The yarn is Lanaloft in the wine fire colorway that looks nothing like my crappy photo. I don't feel too badly because the Brown Sheep's photo of that color seems off to me, too. Must be going around. ;^)
Btw, the yarn bleed like you WOULD NOT BELIEVE. I knew it would, but wow.
Still trying to spin. Still trying to not tell off children while standing in line at the post office. Still trying to get caught up. Still wondering how it's December.
Where did the year go? :?
