The Old Folks Home

Next day was cold rain, went to a few places I saw deer in the past, lotsa brush and golden rods, would've got soaked first thing so decided to drive back to the trails and took the 3.8mi Pillsbury Lake trail. Longer but much easier walk than the tower trail, that hike was brutal. Was hoping to go all the way to the leanto and lake, was flooded just before I got to it. Found a tough path through a swamp and got a couple pics from the tail end, couldn't navigate around the bank either, too thick and water running everywhere. Changed to snow on the way down. Was completely soaked, went back to the truck and completely changed. Put my military Mickey Mouse boots on and headed back out the trail. Ran into a couple hikers that had been on the three day full west canada lakes loop, 23+ miles. They said 'you know we're in rough shape wearing our dirty stinky wool socks for gloves lol!' And they were Lol!:-D
I asked them how they made it past the lean-to on Pillsbury lake? They said it was only six inches deep, beavers made a dam and flooded the area. Said they saw some moose also, wish I saw some moose.
I got to that spot that morning, was boards acrossed it, tried to hug the side and hoped they were big beams I could walk acrossed, first board was floating, and in the middle the sideways board water was flowing, so I didn't dare go any further, I was already soaked and cold, leather hunting boots were sopping wet. If I was wearing the mickey's then I would have ventured further to the lean-to, big Y shaped lake with islands in the middle of the Y, can see the first island in my pics.

Pretty funny, tree branches breaking in the wind, snow knocked down on me, then the trees kept falling, never been in that situation before, went on a dead run a couple times. Ran into one tree in the road back, barely made it around it. Think I'll bring up my chainsaw and a long chain next time.

Oh, the weather is strange right now. Warmer than normal. Liking it, but weird. I'm sure it won't be long, we will be getting snow. I love snow photos.

I have been doing some sewing and embroidery for a few Christmas presents. I am decorating tea towels and embroidering some and making some bowl koozies to match.

Do share! I am almost done the pages for a quiet (activity) book of felt for a kid. After making the pages I still have to assemble them into the book. I'm also done the presents for my sisters 4 kids (flannel pair of pillowcases each, unwrapped so they can fight it out). I still have one quilt to finish quilting but my room is a mess from felt everywhere, so that gets finished first.

I'm waiting for the large animal vet to show up this morning (I'm first call of the day) - Pip has a split hoof and the goats need shots. Hoping she can also give the feral cat a rabies shot. He's really sweet. We need to take him in and find out if he's FIV negative and then have him neutered if so. If he's positive we're going to have to figure something out. BF wants to take him to the shelter to get adopted, but I don't think he will easily get adopted with that diagnosis, and testicles, and may get put down. I love having him as an outdoor kitty (he was so sweet when I was doing the chores yesterday, following me about) but even with the house we made him I worry about him being out in winter.



Hi, Klucky! What have y'all been up to?

Scg it sounds like you have your morning full of animal care. That's a full day's work. Good luck. I hope y'all can find the cat a nice home.
I would like to see pics of your quite book. I have a slew of grands. If you don't mind sharing.




For the Koozies you can make the size you want. I make some 10" and some 12". You cut the squares for top and bottom and batting.


I made these a couple years ago for us and everyone that comes to visit and eat love them. So I thought I would share.
I also shopped online for flour sac towels and found a deal on utopia deals for like 13.00 for a dozen and shipping was good also.



* I should have mentioned I got this pattern off Craftsy.com.*
