I had a nice weekend, I guess. Went to a Funeral on Saturday. It was someone I didn't know, so I was spared the crying and feeling wretched part, which was nice. But it was a friend of my husbands family, which was sad. Anyway, that was the big activity for Saturday. I detest funerals.
On Sunday Sweet Hubby and I went into Coeur d'Alene to visit Costco. We needed a few things. Man, is that a big store when you're not quite recovered from surgery. I was so exhausted when we got back to the car. I just wanted to lay right down on the ground and take a nap. I expected to feel really awful on Monday cuz I was certain I'd done too much. I felt fine Monday. That was a nice surprise. I feel fine today too.
Sunday afternoon we had some visitors. A flock of 10 Turkeys came to enjoy the Parkarosa Bird Buffet.
It looked like there was a big hen and a bunch of not quite full grown ones-probably were hatched last spring. Here's a close up of one.
You may have noticed the snow in those pictures. Yes. Four inches fell between Friday and Sunday morning. It's been slowly melting ever since. It's been so cold during the day. Upper 30's and low 40's at our house. It feels very winterish.
Today we had a couple of Whitetail bucks visit us. I saw them first as they were grazing on grass at the bottom of the hill, near the satellite dish.
They both raised their heads and looked at each other for a minute.
Then they started banging their antlers together.
They weren't going at it hard enough to be a serious fight. Just a bit of gentle poking and pushing, so I figure they were probably just playing with each other.
After a few minutes of that, they stopped and went back to munching on grass. Eventually they wandered off into the woods together.
I've never seen anything like that before. I'm glad I had my camera so I could capture it for posterity.
I've gone back to working on the second Wheat Rib sock. I finished the heel and have started the leg. I've got about 2 inches of leg done now. I need these socks to be done before Christmas cuz they are slated to be someones present, so I better get my rear in gear!
I also have started a pair of Owling fingerless mitts in a light heather brown for another Christmas present. It is probably going to be the extent of the Christmas knitting for me this year. I don't feel like making much more than that. Especially since I did so much gift knitting for folks last year.
Tomorrow I am planning on going to Yarnies. It will be my first time back since the surgery.
Right now I've got a load of laundry in the dryer that is calling for me. So I better get to it.
Only 2 and a half weeks left until the trip to Maui.
Live long and prosper. \\//

Wonderful photos! Love the bucks. I love the Owlings Mitts. I have yarn to make some mitts for a friend, but was still undecided about the pattern. I think she'd love these!
