The Squirrels Be a Hoarding

Happy Sunday my friends!

I hope this post finds you safe and well.

We live in an area with lots of oak trees.

With that being said I have been noticing

all of the squirrels scurrying about

hiding their black walnuts and acorns

for their wintertime food.

Tree squirrels are the one animal that do not

hibernate in Winter. 

While Bob was in the hospital,

I took my crochet hook and Sugar & Cream yarn

with me daily and crocheted acorns.

At night I crocheted pumpkins.

I loved how they turned out.

Multi colored fall ones.

Brown ones.

Cream ones.

I bagged these up in the three colors.

All but one bag have already sold.

If they had a green color that was close

to an acorn color, I would have made those too.

However the greens were too light or dark.

I know that I could have used a different yarn,

but I do like the heaviness of this particular brand.

In other news,

Bob and I drove 4 1/2 hours North to 

Alpena, MI for his daughters wedding Saturday.

Since Bob cannot drive long distances yet,

I drove there yesterday and back today.

It rained both ways.

Alpena is a small community located

along the shore of Lake Huron.

The wedding was supposed to take place outdoors,

which did not happen.

We waited about a half hour hoping the rain

would subside...which did not.

We did leave the reception right after dinner

as Bob was tired. 

He still tires in the afternoon.

His daughter understood and was just

 glad we made the trip.

On the way home we did see flocks of turkeys.

Even saw a hen with 2 baby poults (turkeys)

Also saw many deer.

Although we were in bear country, did not see one.

Rain and fog was my first hour driving home.

Just so glad nothing happened since I was

unfamiliar with this route.

Well off to clean my spare bedroom.

It is a chaotic mess with stuff everywhere

from my Halloween creations.

Need to put everything back on order now. LOL

Hope everyone enjoyed their weekend!

Acorn Blessings To All!
