10-31-2019 Happy Halloween!

I love my allergist!

And my friend Konnie's Bearded Dragons!

We had another 4.3" of snow today...

and 20*F temps.

Our usual 70-80 trick-or-treaters

turned into twelve.

Some places, the snow fell between the rocks...

Some places the snow fell ON the rocks and not between...

10-28-2019 Frogging

Rip-it, rip-it, rip-it...

Had a mistake in Clue #2 that I couldn't fix

so I ripped it all out

back down to Clue #1

and will start again...

It's a very special treat to play in Papa's workshop!

They get scrap wood and can do whatever they want.

10-26-2019 Autumn Leave Sock Blank

I wonder if my daughter would like a pair of

hand-knit socks

from this hand-painted sock blank???

(for her birthday NEXT year!)

Would she dare to wear something so brightly colored?

Walking through the woods in Starved Rock State Park this past week

and looking at all the pretty autumnal colors

has inspired me to knit something with these colors!

10-24-2019 Starved Rock Get-Away

This past week

DH and I made a get-away

to Starved Rock State Park

to hike in the woods,

feel the waterfalls,

and enjoy the beautiful autumn colors!

A perfect way to recuperate from our Florida vacation! ha.
