The Harrison County Sheriff's Horse Patrol.
A young pair of oxen. With tiny children in tow. These oxen were first yoked together at five days old.
Normally, this street is not only not crowded, but is flat out empty. Amazing.

The Unrated Version
Hello, Chitlin's - I be back and all that.
We never did get to Canada, even though right now seems like the perfect time for a getaway. After Sweetie spent a week at his mother's house in north Georgia, he really just wanted to stay home for the rest of his vacation. Also, the money thing. We don't have much to spare, what with cheese at $6 a pound and all.
I listen to too much news, although I do divert some mental attention to guitar and drum driven rockyroll. (Played loudly. It is a form of therapy and it works!) What the goddam hell is wrong with people? Worldwide financial meltdown, give me a break. McCain and Quaylin - shoot me now. Interesting times. Hard on the psyche.
So.
I have had access to a Patrick Green Supercarder (thanx to Lynne and Amanda) for almost a week and now Fuzzarelly Fibers has achieved a whole new level of wonderfulness. I'm almost embarrassed to claim my older stuff, made on a hand cranked Louet carder. I can take those old batts, run them through the PGS, and they are suddenly made twelve times more beautiful. So, I've done that - mixing things up, added things in, and then ---tada!-- I made them less expensive! Plus, there are other, newer blends available. Better and cheaper! Please buy! Mmmmm ---Bunny and the Beast.
The Southern Indiana FiberArts Festival is next weekend in Corydon, Indiana. There will be 65+ vendors. Admission and parking are free. What better time to cocoon and knit? Or spin. I will be offering my new fibers plus one used Louet carder and a Louet Victoria. I really need to sell the equipment because I want a Supercarder to call my own, even though it costs more than each of our cars.
Bunny news.
The wildie scooted out under the back door to "freedom" three weeks ago and has not been seen since. To take its place is one of Ramsey's kits that I captured. He's a light brown and skittish. Maybe 7 weeks old now. All the others seem to have vanished. Evil kitty.
Good Neighbor Nancy is in sorta custody of three wild angora babies whose captive grand dad was Percival. (Late and lamented. He was taken this summer, in the night by a local dog, from the corral in our front yard.)
Not a lot of good news to report, although it has been swell to have Sweetie home. Well, and the Supercarder.

Mix Fresh Daily
My Good Neighbor Nancy loves critters more that me, even. She, like me and many others around here, will stop and move to the other side any turtle on the roadways. Out in the country, anyways. That includes snapping turtles who don't like being picked up no matter what the reason.
So Nancy found a largish box turtle one day and brought her home. Named her Abby. Abby is the most affectionate amphibian, (? ) er...reptile(?) I've ever seen and seems to thrive on human contact.
When Amy Winehouse had her first litter, Nancy fell in love with one baby that looked a lot like mom and when I released all those babies, that one went to live next door with her. Nancy named her Cleo.
So now Abby and Cleo are cage mates, when they are caged at all. It's just too funny to see them together. Nancy says that Abby seems even happier now. Cleo and Abby also snuggle up with the black chowchow and the little beagley dog that Nancy keeps.

Other Information
My life. So far.
I squish Buster's head.
Have cleaned up and made repairs due to Ike. Mostly and sorta.
Some folks in our county STILL have no power. How sucky is that? Our electric was back on after only fourteen hours.
As of this week, Fuzzarelly Fibers is a bony fide bidness.
As of today, Arts & Artisans is A) a relic 2) a dinosaur &) a has been. Dat bidness be daid. Long lib da bidness.
And I would have processed two bushels of apples I picked up.
But until this cut heals for another day or two, I am standing clear of big pans of boiling water. Also: sharp knives.
I finished, from Bunny and the Beast, a pair of much-needed barn mitts.
