How about now?

Yep. She’s hiding out under the deck.

I’m happy to see her, as I kind of assumed she was nabbed by an eagle about 3 weeks ago.

But I’m also worried about the spot she’s chosen to raise her babies.
There is no nesting material down there except some landscape cloth, and it’s far away from food.

I’d put some food out nearby, but I worry that it might attract rodents.

I’m thinking of possibly moving her, but I don’t have any experience with this. I imagine I should wait until all the viable eggs are hatched out?

There are still eggs beneath her, but I also heard peeping, so at least one chick is hatched.

Suggestions welcome.

Happy to be Home

Was gone most of the week in Salt Lake City for work, and found that they had a really cool little yarn shop- Blazing Needles!

They have a lovely selection of beautiful yarns, including a whole wall of Malabrigo

And also Brooklyn Tweed- they have such great greens.

I couldn’t resist picking up a braid of Malabrigo roving to take home. Mmmmmm

And managed to get a fair bit of knitting done while I was away. I started an Estonian Sheep puppet especially for the trip-

But it’s a relief to be home.
Home with The Man, and all the critters.
Right where I belong.

Oooh, pretty!

and the first Moto-spun skein

The only thing remaining to complete my Moto is the configuration of his scotch tension. Still sorting out the options for rigging that up.
