I somehow missed knitting one of the pussy hats during the last Trump administration. Remember those hats? They look like they had little kitten ears on them?
Anyway, being on a news diet, I hear about things in unusual ways. So I heard from my US knitting friends about the latest protest hat it’s modelled on a hat that the Norwegian’s were during the Nazi occupation in the second world war. I went out and bought myself two balls of Norwegian yarn and finished knitting it last night.
I’m in a quilting retreat all weekend. It’s a fun way to get projects done and be social.
it’s Rendezvous weekend here in Whitehorse. It’s a celebration of winter and community. I went with a friend to see the snow carvings.
with the long twilight we get gorgeous alpenglow on the mountains. It inspired me to find a cocktail recipe to go with it. I did and it is delicious.
2oz bourbon
.5 oz lemon juice
.5 oz maple syrup
Dash bitters - I used my home made balsamic tip bitters.
Chill glass. Shake ingredients with ice until chilled. Strain into chilled glass over ice. Enjoy.
during our long twilight we have the opportunity to watch the local ravens dance and play. They love the south wind - as it hits the clay cliffs it provides a river of air they play in.
I took most of these without zoom - the ravens are so close you can almost touch them. At times they come in and tag out black dog, as if to say; ‘can you fly?’
the sun has been rising for the last half hour- the pink blush on the snow doesn’t really appear in the photo, but it is there.
it’s been a predictive few weeks here in Whitehorse. Between chopping wood working and other tasks daily life I’ve been finishing up some quilting projects. And starting new ones, of course.
We had a lovely rainy morning visit to this garden. Other than the very informative docent we had the whole garden to ourselves for almost an hour.
The docent did a wonderful bit of tutelage about yin and yang the - duality of all things.
