Meet one of my neighbors on our back property line...this is Stormy. He's a yak. I don't know much about yaks except they look like something cavemen drew on the walls of their homes.
The other night I heard his owners yelling at a bear...
Thankfully, I never saw the bear...though I heard something big moving through the woods. Stormy was very upset by the bear's visit and while the mother yaks surrounded the babies to the protect them, Stormy broke through the corral and was running along Eagle River Road where a driver stopped and got video of Stormy running. It made the local evening news! It is also posted on YouTube...check it out...it is only about 10 secs...you might not get another chance to see a yak running!
Life is normally very serene for these yaks.
Back to the sewing studio...
What a luxury to have my portable design wall so big and so close to my sewing machine! All of the light blue bear paw blocks are constructed...time to make the dark blue blocks.
The backsides have been put together for the Santa ornaments. I am hoping to finish these tonight while I am watching the latest episode of, "Game of Thrones." I think there are only two episodes left. When is the next book going to ever come out? I think the HBO series has caught up with the five books.
A bit more work on the French Santa as well.
It is time for another travel adventure. Family reunion in Texas this coming week.
Now Stormy is one BIG dude!!! Your bear paw blocks are looking good... and I love all the Santas! Hope you have a great trip to Texas.
ReplyDeletewow a yak as a neighbor - LOL - who would have thought. what are they raising them for - pets - the hair? glad it didn't get into a fight with the bear :)
ReplyDeleteThe Yak video is too funny. Stormy looked like he was rushing to get to a meeting.. or dinner. Love your Santa ornaments. Looking forward to seeing the finish.
ReplyDeleteThat's true !! It's the first time I see a yak running !! Well....to be honest, it's the first time I see a yak !! LOL !!
ReplyDeleteI really love your blocks !! And the colors are so cute.....
You started it hourray for you!!!!! I'm sure it's almost done by now^^
ReplyDeleteI'm always amazed by the wildfife around your house!
I was talkinf about it to my Mum and she said that you should put a round handle on the outside doors so the bears could not open, ilt what she did, she put a normal handle on the outside but a round one inside so the kids couldn't open and go outside alone when they were little.
Christelle missing her outgoing Buddy !
your country is very surprising!!! Spend a good time with your family!
ReplyDeleteHahahah - At first I thought it was a Musk Ox. Too Funny Debbie. I would run if I had a bear in my pen too.
