10 Summer Things That are Making Me Happy

By -
 *The beach without the sunburn. 
(I used a 70 spf today even though dermatologists say you only need a much lower Spf and just reapply) 
*Banana chips.  Hate bananas, love the chips!
*Summer thunder and lightening.
*Sleep number beds on vacation
*My new summer purse by ZARA ... I should show it to you.....its so cute
*Dr Scholl sandals
*Lemonade.....now that I've given up coke, at least a lemonade is refreshing
*Berry crumble, Sandra Lee style with cookie dough as the crumble
*My short short short summer hair: makes swimming a joy, makes the heat more tolerable
and finally
*Im very happy to knit socks this summer. 
I finished this sparkly pair tonight .They are for my  10 year old great niece.   I started them on July4th .
That makes it a one week knit up.  
Now that makes me happy. 

 Any of the same things making you happy?

Sparkly socks knit fast--it doesn't get any better than that unless it's having a happy summer!! I love my short hair all year. In the summer it is cool and in the winter I can wear a hat with no hat hair when I take it off.

We had a surprise rain storm about an hour ago. It cooled things down from the 104° of the afternoon. Now that makes me happy!!

Those are wonderful socks!

Yes, short hair is the way to go - the woman who cuts my hair told me that "Women who wear their hair short, when long hair is the norm, prove that they have confidence." Just thought you might enjoy that little tidbit ...

That's a great way to look at shorty hair. Thanks for the quote

Yep .... short hair.

Just got a cut on Tuesday and it truly is wash and wear. LOVE IT!

Nix on the Dr. Scholl's. I LOVED them as a teen, but now can't wear them. They give me problems with my right ankle. :-( It makes me sad, 'cause I really liked them.

Good looking socks! One of my favorite summer drinks is an Arnold Palmer (half ice-tea; half lemonade). I like banana chips and apple chips too. My hair is not short, and it is way too hot for summer! I try to wear it up when it's too darned hot.

I'm happy that you're so happy! It sounds like your summer is turning out to be spectacular. I envy you the hair thing. I was traumatized by a pixie cut the very day I went to see Zeffirelli's Romeo and Juliet when I was a young teen. I almost died when I saw Olivia Hussy's gorgeous mane. I have not been able to cut my hair-except for trims, since.

My summer knitting projects are usually socks.

Diet Soda (root beer, cream soda, diet lime Pepsi, and diet wild cherry Pepsi). Ironically, I love hot tea and cannot stand iced tea.

My hair is always cut short - I love the ease of care.

I am loving having Friday's off, I have longish hair so pulling it up off my neck, thunderstorms and moments when I can be outside without melting or getting bit by mosquitoes, and of course baseball.
Hugs,
Meredith

I love that photo, definitely the picture of a happy summer! I think it is so funny you like banana chips and not the actual fruit. But I get it, so I'm not knockin' ya. Happy weekend Kathy!

I' the opposite with bananas. Love the fruit, hate the chips!

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.
