Random Stuff: Chicks, Booties, & Birds

This is what I usually see when I lock the chickens up at night. These two are always snugged under Pinky, I guess with the warm weather they don't have to "cover" right up.

And doesn't this little one look sleepy?

I knit up a pair of booties for my future grandchild. They are one piece but look like two. The pattern is pretty easy but the blue wool I had wasn't quite the right weight, and the double pointed needles for the yellow weren't the right size. I looked for size 2 dpn's in Michael's and Wal-Mart when I was in Kamloops but none were to be found, darnit. I did pick up the right wool so I think I'll just bump up the regular needles to size three to match the dpn's and hope for the best. The pattern can be purchased here: Moc-a-soc.

A couple of pics, taken last night, of a hummingbird. There are still quite a few but the numbers are beginning to drop.

Aren't random pics/posts great? I can just ramble on and my mind doesn't have to concentrate on any one thing...

Thanks to everyone for your comments about our dog Blue. He's a bit under the weather today but I think it will take awhile for him to totally heal. I have to go back to Kamloops in two weeks so I just may make a vet appointment for him then.
