Psst. Am I home? Ah.

So, it's been MORE than a month since I blogged last.  I really haven't meant to be so tardy, I just had a very busy, on the go, more stuff than I realized month for a bit.  And when I wasn't on the go, I just stared at the computer.  Not with it ON, mind you, just stared at it, thinking, gee, I should write something.  Then zoning out, falling asleep, and not writing.  But, fortune has it, even though my family has commented on my busy-doings, no one is too worried about it.  ('Cept me, maybe.  Do I really need to be on the go ALL the week???)

To now catch up.  I ended up with 9 baby chicks, lost one.  And then we have been watching carefully, and I believe...

I have seven roosters.

(sigh)

So, life goes on.  I will get some pics of them now, this was of two of them when still fuzzy.  If you can believe it, they are now almost fully feathered! I will try and get some pictures of the little guys as not-so-little, soon.

Went to Seaside, did my normal photo of socks at the Lewis and Clark Monument.  I might have to put the photos I took of the monument on my blog sometime.  Oh, and the socks?  Yes, you are seeing aright, I am making "Crazy Quilt" socks of leftover yarn.  I don't have to knit two, I can mix 'n match any of the ones I make...  I can use up leftovers, and it will drive one of the gals at spinning completely bats when I wear them.  (The picture is of Lewis and Clark making salt. Thanks to Dad for holding up socks...)

Husband decided to kidnap me, because I hadn't been home to speak of in a bit, and we went for a drive along Highway 11.  There was this big patch of white flowers.  We couldn't figure out what they were at first, until we came close.  This is a plant known as Bunch Grass, or Bear Grass.  It probably has other names, but that's what I've heard it called around here.  The Mountain Deputy told me it's a pretty valuable item, as it is used both for weaving, and in floral arrangements.  I'd never seen it flower before, though.  

A little later, we found this little waterfall.  I just think it made a nice picture.

And, I figured out how to use the close up on my camera!!!
