A cheesy fire

Two days ago it was windy, cold and even snowing a bit outside so I decided I might as well have a cozy evening beside the fire. Even though I do not like winter, which is why I winter in Mexico, I can appreciate a cozy evening by the fire. So I lit the fire, which is done by flicking a switch.....I know, so cheesy. I have fantasies of one day having a wood burning stove in my home, just like I fantasize of one day of having two chicken in my backyard....these are my dreams people, seriously. Anyway, I flicked on the cheesy fire and made myself a pot of tea and gathered my bags of wool and sat down and drafted the wool into long thin strips as I listened to wind howling outside.....it really was howling I am not making that up. It was nice.

Yup, I still have 2 squash under my chair that survived the winter....right there under my chair, I am saving them for a special dinner. 

The end result was 4 balls of light, fluffy and creamy colored wool, I am still thinking I am not going to dye this batch.
