Too Funny Not to Share

By -
I adore this image that I copied off Pinterest Boards.  It is hysterical to me.  I think hot dogs are going to be the end of my vegetarianism some day.  I love a charred hot dog....
Did I make you smile?

Do you Canoe?  Do you KayaK?  I love a quiet canoe on a still little lake in the early morning of summer.

I canoed the Boundary Waters in high school and it had a profound affect on  me.

How to tie this to knitting?  Well, how's this for you: I'd like to find a yarn named
Boundary Waters....so far no luck!

My father loved to be out in a canoe. I did crew in college, and that's about as closely as I can tie those two thoughts together.

I do NOT love a charred hotdog. In fact, only when I discovered Hebrew National 'dogs did I decide I even like hotdogs. I'd prefer that mine are boiled, thanksmuch.

I love hotdogs and I love Pinterest. I'd like to see one with chili floating on a canoe.

I don't care for hotdogs, but I'll take a bratwurst any day.

Oh yeah, Pinterest is a great place to keep ideas.

Once again I believe that you and are peas from the same pod! I LOVE charred hot dogs - and yes you made me smile!

Also, I LOVE to canoe - on a quiet lake in the middle of the Adirondacks looking at loons and great Blue Herons fishing on the edge with their long skinny legs.

Love the pic -- too funny. I, too, love being on a lake in the early a.m. -- preferably in Vermont. My husband built a guideboat, so we sometimes take that out. I can just picture the shade that Boundary Waters yarn would be!

I agree, the name of the yarn sell me on it. I love a great yarn name.

I dig the dog!! Also love charred (dark) hotdogs! Now I wish I had planned hotdogs for dinner.

DH and our youngest son canoed the boundary waters when our son was 16. He still talks about the experience, especially the bear they encountered. The bear was on a small island a short distance from their camp. They packed up fast and took off when the bear got in the water. Of course I asked what the bear was doing and he said, "the breast stroke."

That is ingenious and adorable.

And if you ever go back to hot dogs, spiral cut them before they're grilled. It makes ALL the difference in the world.

That is too funny! And brings back lots of Girl Scout camp memories. Never did the Boundary Waters, you lucky duck, but I have canoed on the Wisc. River and the Fox with a few lakes thrown in around Waupaca. Those were fun days. Are you a fan of s'mores also?

Very cute picture. My husband has canoed the Boundary Waters several times and loved it. His Mother went every year for years and years, well into her 80's.
Happy Thursday,

We can't get them here, but I hear the Field Roast Frankfurters are dead ringers.

Oh, my gosh...too cute. I love a good hot dog. Better yet would be eating that hot dog while I was canoeing or kayaking...one of my favorite upper body workouts!

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.
