I'm back... twice in a month... main reason is I'm bored... Larry is watching "Jail".. i get tired of watching all the drunks and druggies go thru jail.... so I have been knitting... got 3 shawlets done,one for my partner at the Food Bank, and one for a silent auction, and the one for Joe's Theresa.... and have started another one... Garter and Lace... plain garter stitch with lace around the edge, in dark brown alpaca, machine spun by Crofton wool Mills, no longer in business, and i do miss Marie and her fibre...
got my Knit Pick needle set... i do love them... but couldn't believe that they didn't include the connectors for the long cords... have to order some...

Count down to the 65th birthday... got my Gold card a couple of weeks ago, now i am really old... I am
going over to Nanaimo June the 5th..going to spend my birthday with my spinny friends on the island.  There is going to be the Regional Dog Agility that weekend, so plan on spending time with Toni and then spend a day at the Trial, and then on Sunday, I get to volunteer.. the dogs come from all over BC and the Yukon, I will never be good enough to run in that trial, but i really want to see them.. Wynn is doing better, got her on MSM, condrotin, and glucosamin (spelling  ?????), I am too lazy to get up to get the bottle to check out the spelling.  She is not limping, so i will start her doing agility again, Levi has been going to her class, I just couldn't miss any classes.  He has been doing good, but I won't trial him as he always did well at class, but messed up at Trials..I won't tell ya how many 100's of dollars i spent for 5 Qualifying scores... I had planned on running Wynn in April but had to cx as she was limping so bad...  There will be a few trials during the summer that i would like to do, but we will see..i need to win the Lottery, so  i can go to more trials..

Green House is doing good.. although even under plastic i lost 4 pepper plants and one tomato to frost.. so we put a little heater in to keep the frost at bay... tomatoes are starting to flower, and the one pepper that didn't freeze is starting to bloom.. The fruit trees here in the Nicola Valley are blooming like crazy, I have never seen so many blooms on some the old apple trees beside the Hwy.. even our two baby apple trees are covered with flowers, and my cherry trees are covered with baby cherries, I can hardly wait for them to ripen..  The saskatoons and choke cherrys are really blooming, i hope that doesn't mean it is going to be a bad winter..(lots of food for the wild critters)

My camera isn't working, so I have to use Larry's, i just change the memory card, so will take some pictures of the green house tomorrow...

I have had lots of emails from spinners wanting to know when the invites for the fall retreat will be going out.. Andrea Lawrence has sold her business, so not sure if the new girl is interested in vendoring...  Well I am off to bed, I have been waking up at 5 am this past week... need to read a bit, and hope i don't drop my book...

Take care   S

So, what's Andrea going to do without all that fibre coming in??? I guess she saved some for herself???
