And that is that.

We had a visitor last week.



It's been a long time since I've been able to get a picture of a moose. There haven't been as many hanging around lately, and if I do see one, it's usually down the hill on the outside of the fence. This one here showed up in the front yard.



She had one thing on her mind. Getting her lips on the Snowberry bush, or rather, the berries on the Snowberry bush.



After she'd carefully pulled them off and ate them, she wandered off. Here she is licking her lips. They must have been good.



I have been beading all this last week. I picked out the pattern I wanted to use and got started on the Peytwist necklace I want to make for my daughter. Sheesh, but it's slow going. I've worked on it every day for at least a couple hours and got about 6 inches done. Takes me about 2 hours to do one inch. I like how it's looking though.



Live long and prosper. \\//
