I finished it at knitting group this afternoon. I need to try it on before it’s official. I have even started the second sock. The toe was supposed to be solid, but I twined knitted with both colors for more durability.
It rained all night and until noon today. Maude was very vocal about it. We have got to stop doing this. It’s all our fault you know that she can’t go out. Olive is learning a lot from Maude.
Luckily for us, the rain stopped and she got to go out. Olive is still too young to go out, but she has been practicing on the Christmas tree for when the time comes.

I made pie crust yesterday and it’s still sitting in a ball in the refrigerator. Today wasn’t a good day. Doug asked me this evening if I was going to finish them tonight and I didn’t even answer him. I just sat there and knit.
I took a video of Olive and showed it to her. One of these days I’ll get around to putting them on Utube.
I played the snowman for her.
I don’t think she liked it.

You can see her there in the yard. She said, “It’s not cold. I”m not coming in.”
Here she is sitting on the deck railing this afternoon.
Since I don’t have very many ornaments that can stand up to this kind of treatment, it didn’t take me long to trim the Christmas tree. I have also decided to display the Nativity in the glassed in china closet.

I thought it was a Christmas tree, but Olive had other ideas.
Putting up the tree helped to lift my spirits for a while. Maybe I’ll feel better tomorrow. It’s supposed to me warmer. I don’t dare put any ornaments on the tree until we get it tied down. I may have to resort to only using my unbreakables.
I took this picture at 4PM. The sun is almost down. Ican’t stand it.
I was determined to use both colors when rounding out the heel. It took four tries. I couldn’t get it snug enough to suit me.

It was nearly forty degrees warmer today than yesterday. It’s supposed to be the same tomorrow with rain thrown in. The rain will continue into Friday, but the temperature will drop. I am going to get “P” pneumonia!
Excuse me. I have to go down to the basement and point at boxes that are clearly marked as Christmas for my husband. Olive can hardly wait. The others have told her all about it.

Elvis is fine. As a matter of fact, he is quite perky. He went to the vet yesterday to get a steroid shot. He even went outside today to go potty.
Here he is helping himself to some dog food. He heard it’s good for his teeth.
You got a problem with that?

The vet said to bring him in and a technician would give him a shot. I wound up staying longer than I had planned. It seemed they were down two people and the girl at the front desk didn’t know shit from shinola. Elvis was a good boy and it only cost ten dollars so I can’t complain.

Well, almost. We were too full for pie. I think my son is getting a cold. He went to bed after dinner. We can always have pie for breakfast.
Zip wanted everyone to see his new fur coat. No animals were killed in making this coat. Well, maybe a few lizards and snakes and those tasty little voles.

I took Olive to the vet today. She got two shots and worm medicine. She slept all afternoon and didn’t want supper which is unusual for her. I also made an appointment for her “operation”. I need to take Elvis one day soon. He could use another shot. He has been a little congested. Dr Mike said that a tech can do it so I won’t have to wait so long.
I finished my Danish sweater last night and got back to my red socks. I am expecting another sock club next week and still have another to make.
I had trouble getting it over the doll’s head. I should have made the neck looser.
