Guest Bloggers Foursome

By -


This was not an easy shot, friends. The public golfcourse around here, fondly known as THE WEED, has some rangers who, well, to put it kindly,
take their job so seriously I was more nervous about getting this shot than any other guest blog shot in my short history of blogging.

Are rangers like this everywhere? There's a place for this type of employee but it is in a sqaud car not a golfcart.

To borrow some lyrics :

No one mourns the Wicked
no one cries they wont return
no one lays a lily on their grave.

So it was with true trepidation that I approached the foursome and asked for the blog photo. One of the foursome, THANK GOD, wasn't having any of it, from the starter, and they quickly and kindly complied.

On a like note, I have to tell you about my Hungarian father's knitted golf club covers. His sister, Elanore, made them for him. Upon seeing them, Al immediately began scouring patterns for a nice cabled cover for me to make him for Father's Day. Then I heard his sister had made the rather pathetic ones he uses.
One less project for me. My father is nothing if not LOYAL to his sibs. Nothing I could make him would even get a glance from him. She did not knit them with any club markers.......SO
my father, takes ELECTRICAL tape and creates the numbers on the ragged handknits. He made us admire his handiwork with the number 5. ........

I'll try to sneak a shot of his beloved club covers for you.....they are a real hoot.

I must see the gold club covers! #5 sounds like a work of art.

Yep, we've got the same kind of rangers here in CT. They tried to kick one of my friends off the course for wearing shorts they deemed too short. Looking forward to seeing the covers!

Every Once in a While I Might Post

 Is that vague enough for you?  It has been a too busy complicated Spring.  I had no energy to blog.  All is well now, so I can share some things with you:   1. When I shoot photos of the moon I think of Dear Teresa.  Gone too soon. She took fabulous moon pictures.  2. I did not see one shooting star last night.  I only got up for a few moments around 3 a.m.  The local weather guy said he saw a few quick faint ones.   3. How can I can have one grown child in Oklahoma under flood watch, and One Child in Mexico under hurricane watch?  On the same day.  Tis true.  4. What have I knitted lately?  I am pretty sure I've ripped more than I've knit.  I ripped out a shawl that I was making up.  It was cotton and pretty.  I need to follow a pattern.  5. I was trying to make socks and decided to make mittens instead.  I haven't worked a thumb in a long time.  I may have to frog it too.  So I have been knitting, but not making things.  6. MY gardens are growing.  I have 3 main areas I

  These are the one square bunnies .  They are a free pattern on Rave1ry.  I'm bunny making to force spring to come.  I'm a1so taking it easy on my hands again.  The med we tried did keep my hands from shaking, but it was a med for a med. and that's crazy town.  I can contro1 a hook much better than need1es.  It wi11 have to suffice for now.  I'm enjoying your b1ogs and your Spring.  This time of year I so want to 1ive in a southern state.  But this Spring is a new one for me and I'm going to find a way to 1ove it.   IT may have just gotten to 50.   Degrees.  I have to run.  There's very ear1y yardwork to do.   The birds have 1eft a rotten mess of sunf1ower she11s under the feeders.  I hope it is not frozen!  Have you been switching things up in your neck of the woods?   I haven't forgotten you, b1og pa1s.  I 1ove seeing you on Instagram .

Do You Smile When You Knit???

I am pretty sure I smile when I knit.  I'm going to think about that today when I pick up the baby blanket in progress.  I am also pretty sure I cry when I knit; well, not really.  I have shed some tears over the years but they were way back.  I surely scowl when I drop a stitch.   A time lapse of knitters' faces would be interesting enough .... Tank, aka Helo, is starting to smile around here.  Just look into those aqua eyes......they make me smile all the time. He is half Siamese and all gorgeous.
