A Coming of Age

  Their friend dies – and they’re all grown up. ;-D I got my first egg today!   I was cleaning the coop, freshening the water etc. and saw the egg just laying in the pine shavings. Inside their coop I bought specially for them! Such a relief – because they sleep in the rafters [...]

Yum!

Mmmm…what is the connection between Knit Blogs and fabulous food? I’m not sure – but I’m grateful. Look at what I made for breakfast this morning.

End of (holi) Days + Contest

After losing Trivia again. Yep – I was knitting in the bar. So cozy. The big Chef’s night – which included singing, dancing and juggling waiters as well. Not all of us could wear our hats so well. Our last port of call: Ketchikan. The salmon were running. Dolly’s House. Here’s an interior shot of [...]
