How do ya like my new picture... it is a pin that belonged to my Grandmother (who died when i was about 10)..Her brother had been in Africa during the Boer War, and he brought this pin back for her... our only family antique... the pin is made of gold... and it is real gold nuggets on the shovel handle and the blade... and the rope is gold, and i love the rivets ....
Life has been pretty boring around here since the spinning retreat... I can hardly wait for the spring retreat...we had a wonderful time, and everyone is looking forward to the 10th Anniversary in 2013... we need some good ideas on how to celebrate that...Toni came and spent the night, we had lots of good giggles..
Levi had a wreck two weeks ago... and we have no idea how it happened... i found some blood on the deck and went to find him... he was in the dog house, someplace were he never goes.. as my Vet put it, he had degloved his penis... the skin was hanging off the end... he ended in the clinic for 4 days..it was surgery my Vet had never done before... but he is fine now... still try to keep him quiet, but he was jumping the fence with in a week... i would have thought that it would hurt too much to jump... he is going back tomorrow to get the stitches out...
Wynn did well with her first class at agility this past week... somewhere over the course, I hurt my knee, so i limped thru the run... by Sunday I could hardly walk, and have been gimping around all week... made an appt with the Dr for tomorrow, but the knee is back to normal to day, but will probably hurt it again on Saturday..we had two dogs drop out of the class, which i don't really mind as that leaves only 4 dogs in the class, where is normally 6 dogs...the woman who quit the class was a real drama queen... she was afraid that the dogs would fight.. one other dog and Wynn growled at her dog..but this way i get to run more... plus one woman is running 2 dogs, and then i get to run twice between her dogs... good class..
Larry got our back porch almost finished... just the inside needs to be finished..should have made it bigger...
I planted over a 100 cloves of garlic this week... just need to cover it with hay...hopefully that will help it keep from freezing...
Off to the food bank tomorrow... busy place these days...
I am almost finished spinning up some Merino and silk roving that i got from Smith & Ewe, in Kamloops at the retreat... very easy to spin, and a lovely pinky purplely colour... got a couple of patterns that i am interested in knitting... anything as long as i don't have to SEW it together... .. have a great day.... S
Matt is coming home next week...his birthday is on the 12 of Nov... my baby will be 31... he hated being 30, so i imagine 31 will be tough.. he just moved into a apartment from a basement suite..
