altivo: My mare Contessa (nosy tess)
[personal profile] altivo
Didn't get the photos out of the camera yet. But I will.

At least the weather has been nice, though it's edging back into the uncomfortable zone in the afternoons. Submitted my entry forms for the weavers' portion of the show next month. Three items, two of which need finishing touches, but there's time.

Still need to count up the spinner's entries and do entry forms for those. And finish the scarf I'm knitting from the yarn dyed last week.

In other news, Tess was unusually calm and cooperative today. Must be something in the stars I guess. She's never really bad, but usually has to try to assert her independence or something at least once. Today the most she did was shake her head.

We seem to be really overrun with chipmunks this year. In the past, it was unusual to see more than one all summer. This year there are actual swarms of them. Twice today I heard squirrels scolding loudly and persistently and when I went to look, there were chipmunks up in the trees facing off with the squirrel. Considering that a chipmunk weighs about a third as much as a gray squirrel, they are amazingly adventurous. We know there are several living in runs under the wooden decking at the back of the house, and more in the old woodchuck holes under the arena, where the fox kits were three years ago. I knew they could climb trees, but I've never seen them up 30 feet before.

We've a lot of chippys as well this year. Last year there were very few, and fewer squirrels.
