Nothing in, nothing out--no change in my numbers this week.  I really wanted a net decrease of 100 yards before March, but there were just too many things going on this week.  I did work on my current UFO on Monday and part of Tuesday, but it's not even half done.  Maybe this coming week...

We had a visit by a yearling moose--he found the neighbor's parking space to be just to his liking, and rested there and chewed his cud for a couple of hours.  Then he got up and spent some time trimming the willows in our thicket (such a unique trim job!), before wandering around the house on Smokey's (our Lhasa) path.  He was startled when he encountered DH working on the Jeep--and DH was just as startled to have this huge creature coming toward him!  The local Game & Fish warden told us Mr. Young Moose had been hanging around the elk feed ground, and they had treated him for ticks (a real problem with the moose population) the day before.  Anyway he took off through the snow, down the ravine, and toward the trees on the other side of the ravine.  We saw another moose hanging around the church Thursday night after the Penance Service--and another one in a nearby town on Saturday.  It's time for moose sightings here!

We also saw some big horn sheep as we traveled to the nearby town on Saturday.  They were young and were just starting on their "curls"--perhaps they will have a full curl in a year or two.  I'll have to do some research on when they get a full curl.  And to round out the week, Smokey, the dog, has capitulated to his sense of wanderlust!  He knows when he doesn't have his electronic collar on (or when the battery is getting low!) and takes full advantage of his "freedom."  He has been "constrained" for 8 years by the electronic "fence"--when does he stop testing it?!  

This week I need to figure out cake pops--I bought a pan at a thrift store in the nearby big city (that's a relative assessment--it's the biggest one around!) and would like to take some to the Stations service on Friday evening--the children would love them!  And DH will probably love the testing process!!
