Baby Animal Weekend

-
Saturday was 'Girl's Day Out' for friend, Klara, and I. We were on the road from Stoughton to Oregon and saw a sign that said 'Baby Animal Weekend'. Huh! No brainer!

The first thing we acquired was this. Who could it be for?


Nope, not this guy.


Not this guy either although he would have taken it if offered. He was very unsatisfied with just my thumb.

It was for THIS guy!  Teeny tiny baby goat!

 We saw Highland Cattle, Catfish, baby turkeys, lambies, horses, donkeys and various birds. They also had New Zeland Pigs, called Kunekune (Say it 'Cooney-Cooney'), which were the most adorable things ever!


We also spotted an escaped bird of some kind on the lamb on the grounds. People had tried to catch him but he was too wily. He was groovin' out on being  a fugitive from capture.  I told Klara to hold my purse and nabbed him without too much difficulty.  Lots of practice at the barn!

After that, we went to Heartland to say hi to all of the animals there before heading off to lunch and Last Saturday Knitting. As we were pulling out of the restaurant parking lot, we spotted two turkey vultures circling low and pulled over just as one landed on the sandstone right by the road. He then proceeded to pose for us!


We had a wonderful Girl's Day Out. Klara was a charming companion.
 At the end of the day, these are the two beasties (Wee Beastie and Beastie Grande)  that always meet me at the door and make me feel like a rock star. 


                                                     They are my favorite animals of all!

Just got a comment on my last blog entry reminding me that Monday is actually the last day of November, not today. So I have TWO more entries to complete NaBloPoMo; today and TOMORROW. How sad would that have been...to blow the whole thing because I can't read a calendar? I just figured, hey, December is coming next week, might's well start it out first thing on Monday! This here is a picture of my BubberKev and I at Thanksgiving. We're taking a momentary break from strangling each other to goof at the camera. Our mamma must be so proud! Back to online Christmas shopping! Have a great Sunday evening!

Lots of New Tangle Pattern Ideas!

I've been setting aside tangles that I've created in a special file in my cabinet. When I put one in last night, I realized that I had quite a stockpile and that I hadn't put only of them out there for others to try...so here they all are. I'm not good at stepouts or at naming. Most of them are named after placed in Maine...just because. I'd love to see any tangles that you've done that use any of these patterns! Have fun and tangle on!

Wicked Wonderful Weekend

 I had a really nice weekend. I didn't expect to since I had both my Covid booster and my flu shot  on Thursday afternoon. My first of the original two Covid shots put me under the weather for about 24 hours...but I just got a headache from this one and that's about it. And since I get headaches anyway, who knows if it was from the shots or not? At any rate, I was prepared for a stay-at-home-lay-about weekend.  Life is what happens when you are making other plans.  Since I decided Friday Night that I guess I wasn't going to be incapacitated after all, I arranged to go with friend, Donna to Baraboo to the Arts and Crafts Festival. It was really nice and way bigger than I thought it would be. Baraboo is where Ringling Brothers started so there were also circus-y things all over town. So much fun! After the Fair we went to lunch at a little breakfast place and then headed to one of my fav spots, Pewett's Nest, to see the gorge and waterfall. Then we stopped at Sky Hi Ap...
