Monday & Tuesday flew right by..

082805048 I have been working.  This picture was from long ago, um mm.. Saturday.  It feels like a century or two may have passed since then.  Sunday was the Fleece to Shawl at the Champlain Valley Fair. 
Monday was mostly fiber stuff in the morning, then C was stung by something black that flew away ( maybe a white face hornet?) that he became increasingly allergic , until I rushed him to the closest medical clinic.  When I phoned to make sure that they were open they had the audacity to inform me that they did not take ‘walk ins’.  I told them I was coming in, they were 20+ minutes away, a hospital MUCH further, and to get themselves ready if they needed to.  We spent the rest of the day with them.  He’s still swollen and I don’t think the adrenalin did much for his disposition.  Time; it’s taking its jolly old time to stop itching. The swelling is still going down 30 hrs later.  The hives are mostly gone.  We now have epi pens at the ready.  I wish I had one yesterday.
Today, I stayed in the kitchen, unless I was running stuff down to the freezer.  I picked and froze tomatoes, broccoli and did apple sauce.  The apples are starting, today was just sauce from the drops I’ve collected. 
I found a set of 1.5 needles on my way home Monday before all the excitement at home began.  I was thrilled and amazed to find them so close to home.  Now, what to start next.  I haven’t been able to decide.  I’m having so much fun reading lately.  I’m thinking about ‘Frost Flowers’. 
Sam is in outdoor training, total supervision.  He’s loving it and I’m loving him.

  1. Sound like a great weekend! And I just love that photo…beautiful!

  2. What a frightening thing to happen. I might be glad the hive at our front door will be gone soon! I think the only one in our family who is allergic is Murphy the dog, but that would be bad enough.
    LOVE the yarn…again, still.

  3. Wow…..sorry to hear about C’s allergic reaction. Glad you gave the clinic your ultimatum!!!! Sam is adorable.
