Ice onthe Creek

January 5, 2008

I was surprised to see all this ice when I got up.

It wasn’t windy and I was feeling better so I went on a walk with the dog.  We walked down the main road and then cut through the woods to the river.  The water was really moving.  Gus likes to run along the beach when the tide is down, but today he wasn’t at all interested.  We were out for an hour.  It wasn’t bad, but I was glad to get home and get warm.  There’s nothing like a good cup of coffee on a cold day.

I started sewing on the table runner.  Zippo helped.  He had a lot to say.

  Look.  I made a snowflake.  I programed it into my machine and put several on the top.  I really like this machine. 

I got some knitting done.

  After I finish this hat, I am going to make gloves to go with the hat I made last week.

I’m pretty tired.  I should go to bed.

The Thing!

December 15, 2007

It’s a lot colder today. My shoulder was killing me when I got up and my left knee wouldn’t work. I did go for a walk, but it was short. There was no wind so I got out my heavy sweater coat. It was made with two strands of bulky yarn and tightly knit. It’s heavy and bulky, and very warm. It’s good for standing out in the cold and cat bedding and that’s about it. I don’t think I could even drive in the thing. And don’t even ask to see a picture of the thing. You don’t want to see me in it. It is not a pretty sight. Now, are you asking why did I made it? Well, I am not going to tell you. I was, but I don’t want the world to know how bitter I can be. It is probably the cold weather today that makes me think this way.

We’re going out with the neighbors for dinner. We usually have dessert at my house. I am thinking about raspberry brownies with cream cheese filling. I should also try to dig out the dining room table so we can play dominoes. Doug spent about three days going through his mother’s old papers looking for his birth certificate. His middle name was misspelled. He isn’t happy. I would also like to finish decorating the tree. We put it up around eleven last night. I never thought that I would have an artificial tree, but the time that I dislocated my left thumb(I’m left handed) changed my thinking.

I’m sewing Jenn’s tunic together so maybe next time I will have a picture. I finally managed to get a good picture of Gus.

Check out the background.

Cold Afternoon

November 2, 2007

kevin-gus-creek-014.jpgThis morning, we went for a walk with the dog as usual.  It was sunny and breezzy and Gus (my dog) was stepping along at a good pace.  He knows how much he can pull me, but today he really wanted to get down to the horse farm.  When we got to the track, we let him go.  There must have been 200 geese in and around the pond in the middle of the track.  I love to see him run like that.  He is so happy and the geese react so well.  Some head for the water and some for the air.  They make quite a racket and carry on for several minutes.  Gus comes running back with such a self satisfied look on his face.  Today, he just had to run around us before sitting for his leash. 

He is a great dog.  I tried to take his picture for you, but he wouldn’t cooperate.  I found an old one taken with Prince, who died last year.  He had been sick for a long time.  Gus would lay perfectly still when Prince lay beside him.  He is a great dog.

It has gotten so cold this afternoon, I have been entertaining thoughts of turning the heat on.  It’s something I hate to do.  When the heat goes on, it is definitely winter—not my favorite season.  Fortunately, I am a knitter and have plenty of sweaters, scarves, hats, gloves, socks, etc, etc.  I should bake something, but I did that this morning and I can’t think of a single thing that I want to bake.  Oh, well.  I know Doug will make a nice fire after supper.  I’ll get out my knitting, little Maudie cat will curl up in lap and we will watch mindless TV together.
