It’s been a low key time for me. I did run across an old Farmville photo on my facebook memories. Farmville is long gone and so is my farm there. But I decided to download my old photos for posterity’s sake.
Sunday was Tom’s parents’ wedding anniversary. So we went out to lunch with them. This is a photo from 11 year prior with the same people on a dinner cruise in Laughlin.
On Monday I took care of some medical appointments and then headed south. I visited my grandmother’s grave and placed some potted tulips there.
Then I headed to Mercer Island to visit Al in his nursing home. He moved there the previous Wednesday. It is a nice home. Here is a potted plant project in one of their common areas that impressed me.
He is getting better. He is able to eat foods, to walk briefly, and moving his arms and hands better. It was nice to see him, Mom and his progress. After I headed to the Metropolitan Market nearby to find dinner items to bring home. As I came out there was a rainbow behind the building crane. I thought it was symbolic.
We did have a nice prime rib dinner from them. Highly recommended if you happen to be in the area.
I haven’t mentioned Roscoe recently. He has been living in the library upstairs as we try to get him and Wally acquainted. We have advanced to a gate at the bottom of the stairs and feeding him on the stairs now. So far Wally is still quite upset but hoping she will settle down. Roscoe seems to be doing well.
It has been rainy and windy recently. The geese are the only animals that like this weather.
Last week I started a new weaving project. I am using my Shetland sheep Diddley’s locks to make a rya-style rug. His locks are pretty short so will not be a thick rug. But I am enjoying it.
I also explored my fiber stash and found quite a few bags of processed wool from my previous sheep. I will work on spinning these for my sheep tribute scarf.
So this is my late February. Looking forward to March!
Your late February looks much more enjoyable than mine has been! Here is it nose-to-the-grindstone; makes me almost look forward to surgery for the downtime afterwards – almost.
I am sorry that yours has been rough.
That rainbow was lovely! I’m glad Al is doing better.
Here’s hope that Wally and Roscoe will learn to get along, and sooner rather than later! They are both nice kitties, and beautiful, as well.
The sun is shining beautifully this morning. We hope it will stay that way.
I hope they learn to get along. There is less hissing by Wally at the gate now.
looks like you’ve got a nice selection of processed wool to work with for the sheep tribute scarf- are those single sheep batches? or combined by color?
These are all single sheep batches in each bag. Some sheep have multiple bags. I have identified which sheep I already have yarn for so will try to focus on the sheep that I don’t have yarn for first. Then there are bags of raw wool for individual sheep that I will need to process too. I have my work cut out for me.
I am so confused by your spinning pictures and how that all works…no need to explain…you like doing it and are good at it ,so you have my hearty ‘atta’ girls and do what you love. I am in awe of the whole process , but think it is really neat.
Really enjoy the tulip photo and the honoring of loved ones passed.
Happy Anniversary to Tom’s parents, it means so much to someone when they have been married successfully to be honored.
Good luck with the Roscoe taming. 🙂
Thanks Beth. Sorry to confuse you about spinning. Just showing all of the wool I found that I can now spin into yarn. Glad you enjoyed the tulip on gramma’s grave. Tom’s parents have been married 61 tears. Pretty amazing. We will need the Roscoe luck. The issue is more our other cat Wally.
