At the Movies

By -

Found this stormy photo on a google page. 
I love a good thunderstorm. 
I was awakened to a thunder clap last night and was happy to welcome it to Spring. 

Zach has posted these snowdrop lovelies on his photo page:
I love their bowing stance....

I'm deep into the planning stages of my purple sock. 
Let's see how far I get on the needles today.

Big big pretend friend news ahead.
Two pretend friends are visiting; one in April one in May
I'm so excited.

Now for the Movies: 

We tried to watch Jersey Boys, the movie last night.
It was so bad we had to shut it off. 

We watched a documentary on K2 the other afternoon. 
I do not understand the desire but I did manage to like the movie. 

Did I tell you we went to see McFarland USA ?
It is a good story and a Disney feel good movie. 
You don't have to rush out and see it but if you catch it at home some night, it is worth the time. 

I'm not really reading anything right now. 
What are you reading? 
Seen any movies?

I planted some of those snowdrops in the garden around the tree. They haven't sprouted yet - but I'm still hopeful!

Last night Dave and I watch Despicable Me (again) and giggled like two five-year-olds.

That's too bad Jersy Boys stunk. I watched a rom com called Liberal Arts. Free on netflix. I liked it a lot. Also What If starring harry potter. I really liked this one. The girl is zoe Kazan and I like her.

I heard you can buy Zach's photo's on his website wwww.zboyerphotography.com. You can get them in prints or even as a customized postcard for Easter. Wow I am going to go by a hundred!

Zach's photos are amazing! This one is beautiful in such a simple way.

No movies, reading, knitting for me right now, but I'm looking forward to getting back to it soon.

If I saw that storm sky while driving down a Texas road I would take cover immediately. I'm a real baby when the skies look like a tornado might be out there!

We are expecting thunderstorms tomorrow. Much better than the freezing rain we had today.

I haven't been to the movies in ages. The Mister won't go because he says they are too loud.

Haven't heard any thunder yet, but a few sprinkles fell yesterday, and last night it snowed. Winter and Spring seem to be in a battle.

I watched a interesting documentary recently "The Overnighters" It was about the influx of people in Williston, ND due to the oil boom.

Thunder after all that snow on Monday; we heard our GK spent the morning sledding! I just finished reading Mrs. Lincoln's Dressmaker and enjoyed it as well as learned a few things. Love those snow drops!

The audiobook I am listening to I don't really care for nor the book I am reading. I just finished The Silkworm and it was good, not my typical stuff to read but I really enjoyed it.
Hugs,

We watched Gone Girl a few days ago. It was okay, but I thought it unbelievable and a little silly in trying to be so dramatic. Maybe I just wasn't in the mood. We may get our first storm tonight. They're having bad weather in Oklahoma with tornadoes and the whole bit right now. Glad that went north of us here in Texas.

K2, as in the drug? I don't "get" the desire either. I was on Oxycontin after a surgical procedure and I felt HORRIBLE. It certainly wasn't the pleasureable "high" that some people must get to beg, borrow and steal to get the stuff.

My doctor said I don't have the enzyme in my body that is needed to metabolize it in that way. Well, thank goodness for THAT, I guess.

Currently reading Maeve's Times by Maeve Binchy. No movies --- not really a movie person.

Love Zach's snowdrops. So pretty!

we rarely go to the movies. Love the snow drops, so tender and fragile looking and yet they withstand snowstorms!

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.
