Randomish Monday
Ready for a little randomness, in no particular order. (Redundancy is my middle name today.)
1. We took off for a quick overnight in Niagara Falls after the first week of school. Highly recommended after the craziness that is the first week of school. (We're now in our sixth week and there's a whole other level of craziness associated with that.)
2. Sign we saw in Table Rock tourist stop in Niagara Falls.
You know, if they're that angry, perhaps you shouldn't make them wait. And I imagine the greeting at the "Fury Welcome Centre" would be "WHAT DO YOU WANT!".
3. It's fall here in western, NY and, oh, it is beautiful. (Looking down the Erie Canal from Lift Bridge in Fairport.)
Random colorful leaves
4. Scarecrow festival and our scarecrow. He came to life with DH's creativity and a local artist's talent, she painted his face and all the signs. Who is Fletcher Adelbert Defendorf? Just the last Democrat to serve in Perinton town council in the year 1917. Yes, 92 years ago. There are a number of excellent Democrats running this year and here's hoping they're elected! Single party rule isn't good for any town as government benefits from different points of view. (Fletcher stood in our living room for 3 nights waiting for the beginning of the scarecrow festival and scared the snot out of me every time I entered the room -- he's quite the imposing figure.)

5. And there has been yarn.
I bought these rovings at the Finger Lakes Fiber Festival, from Neko Farm (light brown) and Nistock Farms (gray, white and dark) and spun them into these:
which I hope to soon make into these cute sheepy mittens designed by Amy King from Spunky Eclectic.
6. I decided I needed some fingerless mitts and made this pair with Noro Kureyon, a Japanese yarn known for funky colors.
I think I achieved funky colors and I enjoy they're mismatchiness. (That's not a word, is it?) The pattern is Maine Morning Mitts by Clara Parkes.
7. One of Erin's "mommy love mittens" (That's what she calls them and it makes my heart melt every time.) , went AWOL from the winter hat and glove bin, so I knit another. One of the many wonderful things about handmade knitted clothes is that the items can be re-made if needed. So here is squirrel mitten #2.
8. And for my DH, I finished these warm woolly socks just in time for October chill. (I love knitting for him because he truly appreciates the effort, time and craftsmanship that goes into socks.)

That's probably enough randomness for now.

I was waiting for someone else to come along and clear this up. What the **** is a Fury Group? My first inclination was that it might be supposed to read "Furry Group," then I realized that this makes even less sense.

The Canadian side of the Falls has a tour package that has the tag line "Experience Nature's Fury" and includes Maid of the Mist, Journey Behind the Falls and some other water centered attraction. Apparently either "Experience Nature's Fury Groups Please Wait Here" was too long for the signs or Canadians, being a naturally droll people, found the humor in referencing "Fury Groups" on lots of official signs.
