We copped out last night and had takeout for dinner. We snuggled down on the couch to watch a PBS Masterpiece Mystery, but thanks to Optimum IO, the guide was wrong and we ended up watching something else that was mildly diverting, of which I can not remember the name.

While all of this was going on I picked up the shawl and did more knitting. Later after Dearest went to bed I started to cut squares from all of the scrap I was given for ½ sq. triangle production. This will be a long process since it takes more than the 300 I cut last night. After I get some more cut I will make a sample block and post a picture. Don’t look for it any time soon though.

It rained again last night and into the wee hours of the morning.

Right before I climbed into bed Morgan suddenly sat up on the back of the couch and growled that low growl as she looked out into the darkness. She probably picked up the scent of our resident raccoons. Morgan does not like raccoons and gets all bushy tailed with hackles up when they are around.

I slept in a bit this morning so I am behind schedule. Better get a few things done.
