An F.O.!

 I have an F. O.!  

For you non-knitters out there, that means a finished object, and this one isn't a charity hat, either.   It's a hat, just not for a charity.  This one will be a gift for a family member. 

Since it isn't a run of the mill charity beanie, I let Charlotte model it for you. 

Yes, it is a slouchy hat, so it's supposed to look like that.  

As soon as I was done, I caked up the yarn I'd chosen for the next one and cast it on. 

I had to lay it on the arm of the chair to take the photo because this Incarnation of Evil was napping and wouldn't move. 

Brat.

In other news, we got a little bit of rain this morning.  Not nearly enough to relieve the drought conditions, though.  Just enough to wet the dust. Still, when it's as dry as it's been here lately, every drop helps. 

Not much else went on today.  Pretty much the only thing I did besides watch TV was to finally peel and boil down the sweet potatoes my coworker gave me.  They are now safely packed into containers, labeled, and tucked into the deep freeze.  

I've been finding a lot of stuff in my deep freeze that I did not properly label so I have no idea what it is or how long it's been in there.  I'm still thawing and eating it -- provided it passes the sniff test, followed by the taste test.  If it doesn't taste off, it's still good.  

You know, I've been thinking....I'm considering doing something this year that I've never ever done before.  I'm considering putting my Christmas tree up before Thanksgiving.   The reason for this is twofold.  One, because Thanksgiving is so very late -- November 28th.  And secondly, because Cody and Brennan are wanting to come for the tree lighting on the town square on November 23.  If they can come, they can put the tree up for me that day.  They weren't able to stay long enough last year, because they both had to work Friday and had to hurry back home Thursday night.  

I'll still leave the rest of my Fall decor out until Thanksgiving weekend, though.
