Thanks for adding me to your interesting libraries list. I just checked out your blog and found it very interesting. Not being a knitter myself, (except for two sweaters I made for my daughters when they were toddlers) I especially enjoyed your columns on your new house, your family, and the flora and fauna of the central Illinois area. Unfortunately, I know more about the fauna than I'd like. We built a Japanese garden, enclosed by high fences, at the back and on one side of our house. While we're used to seeing squirrels, rabbits, birds, raccoons, and cats in the garden, (it's very quiet and protected) we discovered a pair of skunks there as well. Now, we knew we couldn't just trap them and remove them to a wooded area by conventional means for fear of them using their natural defense to express their displeasure. The last thing I wanted was skunk scent permeating the house and garden! After much planning and conniving on my husband's and neighbor's parts, they finally developed and implemented a plan to move the critters safely and odorouslessly! No skunks were injured in the operation!
I, too, am a reading fool. I just finished book 228 for the year. I know I'm getting a lot of books for Christmas, so my year-end total will probably be about 235. I started keeping a reading notebook about 10 years ago. It's always interesting to remember what I've read when I page through the notebook at the end of the year. I mark my favorites with from 1-4 stars. I purely love mysteries for those tidy endings!
Your knitting projects are just beautiful. You are truly talented.
Best,
Jan Watson
