ANOTHER PAIR OF SOCKS!


2 socks do make a pair, right?
I am working on the mate to the brightly colored sock in Bernat Sox at this very moment. The one over there to the left was knitted a way long time ago in 2 cottons held together. Maybe I'll work on that one next. I don't know.
I still have to finish my 1st item for my One Skein Secret Pal exchange. It's knitted, just has to be finished. It's always something...
It's getting gloomy here in SE MI at the moment. I was getting ready to clean my two aquariums but got sidetracked by this and knitting. How can that happen? I was also wondering if it's not a good thing to be up to your armpits in water during a storm with lightening. Hmmm. So far, no lightening, just using the possibility of it as just one more reason to procrastinate.
I put 3 teeny tiny baby fishies, fry I do believe they're called, in this tank right here last night and I can't find them this afternoon. Maybe the minnows ate them. Hey, it happens. There's plenty more tiny fishies where those came from. All I did was run my net under the dock twice and caught 3 fish that were about 1/2" in length ea. They could be hiding in those lush plastic plants that I've got growing in there.


BEES!

Later this week I have a date with a Bee Exterminator. Wasps, too. When I got home from work yesterday I was up here at my computer being buzzed by those wasps that make the mud tunnels. How they're getting inside is baffling me. They're in here with me again today. I also heard buzzing coming from out on the roof so I went to investigate by climbing out of the window. Do you know how hot shingles get? Well, my bare feet found out real quick. I couldn't get back in through that window fast enough. So, after I realized how silly that was and put my shoes on, I went back out. Turns out there are honey bees dragging saddlebags full of pollen into a cubby they created under a shingle. It also turns out to be in the same location where the water seems to be coming from inside the house during rain storms. We had a roofer come out to investigate and he was baffled about where the rain was coming in since all seemed in place and the roof is only 2 years old. The whole house is only 2 years old. So, I'm thinking there's gonna be some bling involved here to get them honey bees to move along to someone else's yard. Log homes are always and adventure. We asked for it.....
