Natural worsted wool cowl.

 I do value all of your comments and have included them when I could find them, but I too have been baffled by trying to leave comments at my niece's blog.  Someone, more clever than me, will know what to do to enter a comment that will reach the blogger.

Watching too much TV, House of Cards (Spacey), The Tudors, & The Borgias, with lots of (boring after a while) gratuitous sex, and eye opening selfish, exploitation of the masses.  So to keep myself from eating compulsively (trying to drown, without wine, my outraged social conscience) I've been knitting.  Just finished this cowl for a neighbor. It's the product of wool imported from:

I do believe the wool donors were Icelandic sheep who might go by the names of Luther and Lucretia,  but perhaps not.  Nice and warm though and I loved working with the wool and the natural colors.

Black bird lookout.

We frequently have a black bird that seems to have taken possession of the deck corner.  I keep asking him/her if there is anything he/she would like to impart, but there doesn't seem to be a message.

We also have doves nesting in the fejoia tree and a kingfisher, my favorite, that nests in the palm.

All very good here. Hope the same for the Northern Hemisphere, J
