Lucy and Wildlife

And a couple of you commented wondering how Lucy slept through the brief encounter with the squirrel. Lucy was a good seven miles away from the squirrel!

I live on the 10th floor of a highrise condo. Lucy is an indoor-only kitty. It would be a very intrepid squirrel indeed that managed to show itself to Lucy! We do get birds landing on the windowsills from time to time. I have a large window in the living room:

Here’s the view from that window:

Lucy does go nutsy-cuckoo when a bird lands on the windowsill!

And she does sleep a lot:

She is particularly tired today because she spent a good part of last night waking me up to play with her.

New Sock

Here’s a side view:

The yarn is ShibuiKnits Sock in “periwinkle.”

Newsflash!

The KnitNation website for the event in London next July has today been updated with the class choices. Check it out! I believe that registration opens on December 1.
