Another sunset and more animal ramblings

Shortly after returning from California we joined a group of friends at a get-together in Picayune. The sunset was particularly lovely that evening; we were in a tranquil mood. We had enjoyed good company and charming antics from miniature goats. Sorry, no photos, the goats were too quick for us, as they seemed to bounce off any surface they landed on, including the backs of two donkeys. We were told that they frequently ride on the backs of the donkeys and will junp from one donkey to the other! Wish I'd seen that!

Going back to California for a moment or two, these pigeons on the light standard caught my eye. This light is found over a very busy intersection in San Diego, and it made me wonder: What are they looking for? It isn't as though there are a lot of trees in this area or grass where they can look for seed. Just a place to rest their wings? Who knows from pigeon behavior?

Rosie's portrait. I didn't include it in my earlier California travelogue but this is Rosie, in whose home we stayed while in San Diego. She was kind enough to tolerate our invasion of her home and we enjoyed a great walk together.

This week I have been continuing to work on a tie for my husband, easy fingerless garter mitts, beaded, from One Skein, and am almost finished spinning a lovely roving from Taos Sunflower's Free Fall series. The singles that is, then I will ply it to produce a 2-ply yarn. I am gearing up to do some more dyeing, if not tomorrow, then next week. And there are still so many other projects to finish not to mention my continual attempts to SIMPLIFY!

Ciao.
