Moose


I was tired this morning. Not sure why though. I got up a bit later than usual and while having my first cup of coffee, I went to check on my pumpkins. I planted about 12 of them. They are just in those little peat pot disks that puff up when you put them in water.....grow monkeys for adults:)
Anyway.....I looked outside to see these 2 moose calves trimming the willows.
I went outside to get a couple of shots but didn't see momma until I went back in.....ooops! She walked from behind where I had been standing. I went back out to get a pic of her too.......all the while being warned that she might charge! Yeahyeah! She didn't.

I am slowly working on my Jaywalkers. I picked up some Sisu to finish the cuffs. I think it matches quite nicely. However, I broke one of my Knitpicks Harmony DPN's! Boo Hoo:(

April showers

April showers bring May flowers....does that include SNOW SHOWERS???????
Brrrr....cold. I do have daffodils and rhubarb poking up:)
Had the bike out a few times already though to get groceries with my back-pack; and it's the easiest way to 'run' the dogs. They are sled-dogs and do not WALK, heel or any of that rot.
Todd & I went for a walk on Friday afternoon and he didn't want to go on the same old boring trail so he veered off and I (of blind faith) followed.
I was not prepared for bush-slogging and consequently ended up with two soaking wet (cold) feet. The trail was OK but it petered out and we ended up on the edge of someones property, which we skirted for a bit (more bush-bombing) as he was sure the trail would come out at such-and-such point! As it turned out we were way off course (surprise!). I am not a fan of stumbling around in the bush having no clue whatsoever! where we are.
I was glad to jump in the tub when we got back and Todd made me a nice cup of hot chocolate. OK, I forgive him:)
Just cast on Jaywalkers, but I am doing them toe-up because I don't have much yarn. It was from a swap, so I don't even know what it is.
