Well, fluffy big clouds, anyway. I never heard any thunder and the rain we got was just a regular fall-down-and-wet-everything-for-several-hours type of rain rather than the noisy frog strangler that usually comes with a Thunder storm. But the clouds were pretty and the rain was welcomed so it was all okay as it was. Today [...]

They get up every now and then and look to see if it’s still raining. It is, so they have a bit of a snack and go back to bed. I’ve been a little more active but not a lot! Got some loom business done this morning, bade the cousins goodbye as they left to [...]

Isn’t she elegant?! This is Margaret and she’s wearing the first sweater that I ever steeked. I think that’s the correct word. I designed it as I went along, stitched and cut without fear. It being as small as it is I could be brave! I think it turned out very nice and could even [...]

People frequently ask why it’s called Coffee Creek. Now you know. The spring run-off comes as latte’, I guess it’d be, with cream?, but it’s always brown when the snow melts as rapidly as it has been doing the last two days. You should hear it! It’s roaring. But tho it’s high, into the first [...]
