My grandson’s rabbit has been topless for so long and I finally broke down and knit a sweater for him. It gets cold in Colorado!
I’m embarrassed that it took me so long to knit it up when it only took a couple of hours. Better late than never???
We noticed some frozen veggies in the crisper drawer in our freezer-on-the-bottom refrigerator. They are not suppose to freeze. Frozen romaine lettuce is pretty disgusting.
After several Internet searches, I found a fix to problem. A frozen defrost line in the back of the refrigerator. So you ask: If the freezer is on the bottom, how come the defrost is up there? The ice maker and water dispenser are in the upper part so we can get water and ice through the door. The water from the defrost cycle from the ice maker couldn’t get down to the evaporator pan as it was clogged with ice so it ran into the bottom of the refrigerator, pooled under the crisper drawers and froze. The veggies in the crisper were sitting right on top of ice and froze, too.
I watched a couple of YouTube videos on how to repair the frozen line and keep it from happening again. Only time will tell if the fix worked.
Figured I saved a hundred dollars. Or two. That’s a bundle to me.
My hot chocolate loves me this morning.
Last week Mr. Aitch and I were in Colorado visiting our daughter and family. If you are a regular follower, you saw the pictures of our grandchildren wearing their pumpkin hats at the pumpkin farm. They loved them. Several people asked where to find them and I directed them to the pattern.
We took the cog train in Manitou Springs up Pikes Peak. It was a warm day but we knew it would be cold at the summit.
The ride was awesome and the views breathtaking once the clouds moved out-of-the-way.
We were glad to have water to drink on the way up as it helps prevent altitude sickness. Mr. Aitch and I were a little dizzy once we got to the summit. Fortunately we didn’t need and extra oxygen. Our winter coats, hats, and gloves were a necessity!
You can see the track that the cog wheels fit into to get the train up the mountain. It is too steep for smooth wheels and tracks.
The track just stops at the edge.
Commemorative placard shown above and closer below recognizes Zebulon Montgomery Pike who discovered the mountain in 1806 while exploring the Louisiana Purchase. Waist-deep snows kept him from scaling the mountain.

The only wildlife we saw was in the lodge at the summit.
It was cold and rocky at the top.
Pumpkin hats at Pikes Peak Summit!
