Happy Thanksgiving

 

May you have a Happy Thanksgiving! 

Politically correct or not; Covid or not; we have things to be thankful for...

friends, family and health. Long may they reign.

Critters

The critters I made for the charity auction never made it to the auction. The auctioneers bought them and made a lot of $$$. So, I've been making some replacement critters to actually sell. I wonder if these will be scarfed up before the auction too. 

Meet Bonita and Dot the hedgehogs...

...and Red Fred, a Santa Bear.

I'm crocheting as fast as I can to meet demand. It's a kick!

Second Fall

 One of the joys of living in two places is we get to experience 2 springs and 2 autumns. Right now we are enjoying our second fall in northern California. Here fall starts late, and the colors are different from those in WY. There we have bright yellows. Here we have reds and oranges. We left fall in the Rockies and returned to later summer here. NOW the colors are starting to change, well past the official date of fall. Take a look.

A Chinese Pistache (related to a pistachio but does not bear fruit) decorates our driveway

As well as the streets of town

The leaves, up close and personal are red and orange and gold. These colors are completely different from those in the Rocky Mountains...see below

Lots more yellow...the pictures tell the ...

...tale of two falls.

Elections come and go but Love is forever

I am not happy with the outcome of the election, but I know one thing...I love my country, even if folks made the wrong decision. Now it's time to "buck it up buttercup" and get on with my life. To that end, I'm making Critters for a Christmas Charity Auction. They were too much fun to make (it's good to have a diversion when the country has gone crazy).

Hedgehogs

Teddy Bears, including a little girl teddy with her ballet slippers and tutu, and one wearing a covid mask 

And a pile of piggies and hedgehogs.
