gobble gobble hay

so i have knitted a little heart. next i want to figure out how to knit a real heart. with chambers and arteries. they can use them in surgery. knitted heart says happy day to you.

knitted heart says happy day wherever you are

its finally cold here. YES. coats. hats. wood fires! we had 1/2 cord delivered and i'm like a "twitchy fireman that likes to start fires" ready to start burning.

usually, i wake up early and ride a couple hours on thanksgiving day - before the big dinner. that's been my routine for a couple years now. i ride up to s. 5th where a house keeps chickens and turkeys. they turkeys are lovely. i like to say hello turkey. i seriously wimped out this morning due to 34 degrees temps and 10mph wind. can you say texan? as usual, there is no gradual change in the weather here. its hot. in 6 hours, its very cold and windy. i haven't adjusted to that kind of change yet. it takes me a bit to figure out what to wear in order not to sweat and not to freeze. lame excuse. what can i say...

i got fires to make and sit in front of. here's to you turkey. i'll come by later.

big city chickens

speaking of turkey. and tofurkey. get up right now, put your hat and jacket on and ride over to nut's scavenger race. you won't be sorry. maybe cold. but definitely not sorry.

Day: Thanksgiving
Time: 10 am to Noon
Fee: $0
Start Location: Top of the fake hill on Riverside, sort of across the street from the Stevie Ray Vaughn statue. Fun, weird (wear a costume of some sort!), not nearly as aggro, and short-ish.

Heres a tip. Do a few min of jumping jacks, or otherwise warm up, before riding to prevent over layering.
