and I have been too but not with anything specific. Just. Stuuuff. I’ve been having random bouts of housewifeyness - not that it really shows much. And I’m to the gusset increases on my toe up 2 socks on 2 circs yes I really kick ass now tyvm. I’ve knit eight blue squares for Warming Grace’s little friend Justin. I bought a potted sunflower and summarily killed it by leaving it in the garage so Phunq wouldn’t eat it.

I saved a baby bird that got its little leg stuck in a nest under the porch roof and had been hanging there by his little leg for who knows how long. Its leg is broken but after a nap in a makeshift towel nest it flew off on its own. I’ve seen birds function with only one leg before so I waited to see if it could fly before considering anything drastic. Winter has had diarrhea this week, which is always a treat. And I really need to do some laundry and another load of dishes but I keep using our household machines for things like felting bags and dyeing roving instead. And I’ve got to get to the post office.

But Tuesday we went to a farewell party for Beverly at Ramona’s lovely house. It was very mellow and enjoyable. It was really cool to be able to hear everyone without the roar of the Flying Star crowd in the background.

And Barry hung out on the hammock with Scout and Strange Little Mama

He also played a little BBall

And drove a car

The rest of us mostly hung out and knit

There are several more pics in this flickr set. (Scout’s gonna keeel me about posting one of them but it HAD to be done)

The best part was when it started getting dark and we sat around the fire in the chimnea. That was fun. Of course the worst part was saying bye to Bev. Hopefully she’s having a safe trip on the road right now.
