Solstice Sky

Solstice Sunset
(photo taken around 11:30 pm)
after this shot the sky really was beautiful.

This is what happens when a can of
Rock Star is left w/in a small child's grasp.
9:30 pm and she discovered...
that she could climb up the walls backwards!

Knitting: made a keychain key fob but it isn't being my friend. (not felting after 4 washes on hot). Crocheted another key fob will be posting pix and links later.

Sewing: nothing.

Not really working much either- swim lessons and I have been exhausted! Bumpkins got up at 6 am today and I wasn't a happy mama. Put her down w/DH for a nap around 11 am as I left to go to work. Bumpkin's has been having a blast in swim lessons and is telling everyone that she went off the diving board. She didn't want to go, but I took her out to the end of the board anyways. I put her down at the end and asked her if she wanted to jump to Miss..... (meanwhile I was prepared to lower her in) well she launched her little body right off of there! Belly flopped right next to her teacher. She was in life jacket too... but now when asked do you want to go off of the board, she will answer no it is to scary. Well good news is she isn't afraid of the "snakes" out there anymore. And thankfully I have a different class and can move myself to another part of the pool so I can't see what her class is doing.

Well better be getting to bed.. tomorrow is a long day! Summer fun in the Sun out at the pool. Just hope that the weather stays nice.

Summer Soltice means parties

My current bush. Last year it was alot bigger but the moose pruned it back hard. The snow was so deep that they reached over the fence almost like it wasn't there. But there is alot of flowers so there should be lots of berries. Currant Jelly yum.
Knitting: I haven't done anything on my Hufflepuff shawl for almost a week. Maybe because it is to hot and I don't really like it now. Oh well I will start working on it tomorrow.

Solstice is here. Last night we went to a shindig that was very strange. Because of the forest fire the sky was this yucky brown color. Then we parked our mini-van in a horse pasture when we opened the door there were horse piles and the cows were still in the pasture. Am waiting for DH to come home so we can go to another one. This one is later as yesterday was a fish day. This one will be way more fun as there are these homemade drums made out of trees and moose hides. Very primal- there might be as many as 8 drums being played around the campfire. Have to bundle up warm as it is very windy and kind of chilly.

Thing 2 might be living back at home. Last night he took DH's car and didn't do what he was supposed to do. Returning a game to blockbuster doesnt' mean take car seat out and put half/pipe rail in. And he still forgot the game and he smoked in the car. Then tonight I come home to a messy house and tv was left on.

Forest fire: Caribou hills and lots of acreage burned. This am I thought I heard that 5400 acres were burned. By tonight it was up to 20,000 and someone else heard 50 thousand. When will it go over the mountains and hit the Gulf of Alaska. As it is one of the Russian Villages is in the way.
