the weather has been relentless

after the first "atmospheric river" caused major floods in large areas of the province

causing all major highways to be closed, thousands (yes, thousands) of people to be evacuated - many losing everything

serious supply chain problems and gasoline to be rationed

we are in the midst of three more back-to-back torrential rain events with the third one due to arrive tonight

and expected to be the most severe

other than keeping the sump pump working and clearing the drains

I've been hiding in the house doing "things"

to keep from worrying

the second handspun silk scarf is finished

when the warp is handspun I never waste the final few inches

so on the last bit at the end I used different weft colours and wove enough for a little zipper bag lined with a scrap of silk

just have to find a zipper

there has been hours of spinning by the fire - thank goodness I ordered all that lovely fibre

the white skein is 45 grams of Merino/silk/bunny mohair blended on hand cards - and that is only half of the fibre

when it is all spun I have a knitting pattern for a beret - to keep my head warm on winter walks

dozens of crows gathered in the neighbourhood - their loud, raucous protests could be heard for blocks

I think even they are disturbed by the weather
