Skunk Family - Famille de Putois

For the past couple of weeks, we had a skunk come to our porch at dusk and eat the cat food. Well, last night, a skunk came as usual, but with five little skunks! I guess there is a whole family living near by! They are cute, all fluffy! Depuis quelques...

More darkness

Well, apparently even when I am knitting I don't move enough for the sensor! I was knitting in my office during lunch and the light went out!!

Guild meeting

Last night was our monthly knitting guild meeting. There wasn't too many people there (I believe a total of 8) but we still had fun. I played the "knitting doctor" and rescued several dropped stitches. It sounds like I am getting the reputation of being...

Darkness

For energy conservation purposes, they are putting the lights on motion sensors at work. They put one in my office yesterday morning. The problem is that if I am working at my desk or on my computer, I guess I am not moving enough so eventually the light...

Tock came home!

Yes, Tock came home last night!! She was “talking” a lot, growling at everybody, attacking anything that moved… and sometimes that didn’t move, she ate two cans of food… in short, the normal Tock! She swiped at Noemie who was just walking by and Noemie...

Yarn !

My order from Bergère de France arrived on Tuesday! I’m glad I got some of the Cotonature. It feels nice and soft; reminds me of terry cloth although it doesn’t look like it. I am going to make myself a summer top with it.

The maple tree is gone :(

Well, Me arrived Friday evening as planned. We ate at our favorite Italian restaurant before coming home. We got home to find out that the maple tree to the east of the house was down. It broke at the base. There must have been some pretty strong wind...

Introduction: Fall 2004

I guess I forgot to mention that sometime in 2003 Snicker Jr. appeared. We named her Snicker Jr. because she looks very like Snicker. We thought that she was a male, until she started putting on weight very quickly... So Snicker Jr. had four kittens in...
