Good Morning................

Mmmmmm, bet you never thought you'd see me this early in the day but I'm dragging my heels this morning as it is quite glorious out at this early hour. We're going to have another beautiful day, it's unfortunate that one has to work................oh dear..................it's not such as nice day in other parts of the country, the city of Slave Lake is burning down at this moment, the whole town has been evacuated, 10,000 people, major buildings have burnt to the ground. Totally unbelievable!!!!!! But this is going to be a big problem with our forests all dead from the pine beetle. The winds have picked up through Alberta's north and I don't think they expected this to happen. The floods in Manitoba and Quebec are a major concern of a lot of people. My son is in Manitoba and I know he was doing sandbags and loading helicopters to protect peoples homes. The people of Portage La Prairie are waiting for the deluge of the dam breach, so hopefully the damage is not too devastating but at the moment it is not looking good. It's so hard to fathom all these natural disasters......there is nothing worse than the strength and power of water, and the destruction of fire............Well, according to the Bible, May 21st, 2011 is supposedly the day of reckoning.......I sure hope not.....I really don't think I am ready for this all to end quite so quickly. Let's all think positive for the people in these dire situations.............

But on a lighter note.................a beautiful full moon last night caught out the front door.


Full moon high in the sky.....too bad for street lights..........
 And of course the weekend wouldn't be complete without a few crochet projects, these neckwarmers  I think are the "cat's meow"! Super simple and crochet up faster than you can say "Hokey Doodle!"




This little newborn hat is made from yarn from the Dollar store. Very soft and quite adorable. Well time to get this caboose moving......have a great day!
