Multiples

 You've heard the book, The Five Chinese Brothers...well we had the 5 Calico Sisters for surgery this morning. ( One was already on the table when I took this image.)   They ALL reminded me of our Fiona.  Beautiful little babies. 
We passed so many beautiful farms on our way to Lake Delavan  yesterday.  So many thriving farms with cows, horses, crops and tractors.  There were storms gathering to the south and when you are out in the country you can see their beauty unfolding. 
Multiple fish were caught yesterday.  Fireman was the first to catch a bass.  We also caught walleye, one northern (with a fresh bite taken out of it...ewwww) and blue gill. 

The Mitten menagerie continues to grow. This wool pair needed to be felted, and they came out great. 

Any multiples by you?
The bounty of summer is upon us in Chicago!

We had multiple thunderstorms pass over yesterday. It was pretty cool, because at first it was all sunny. Then it would get really dark (like winter evening dark) and then the sky would open up, it would storm for 10 minutes, then it was sunny again. And it would do it all over again a couple hours later.

Those kittens are adorable. Very jealous of the fresh fish - I don't get to fish much any more. Walleye is a favourite of mine (though we call them Pickerel in Canada)

Oh those kittens are soo cute. I hope they are all okay.

Great picture of the Fishing Fireman! Those fishes remind me of they kind my cousin would fish for when we were kids and I would tag along after him everywhere.

Growing up, I had a calico cat, and she's probably still my favorite.

I love calico cats. My mother said they were lucky to have so many colors in their coat.

Multiples? Well, that would be the quilts and shawls I've just completed.

My first kitty was a calico. She was blind. I found her in a trash can where someone had tossed her. She was tiny all her life and the cutest little mini kitty ever.

Multiples? Multiple World Cup games today and tomorrow. Lots of knitting time!

I had a tortoise point Himalayan cat for years that I adored. We lost her last year. Those are cuties! I hope you find good homes for them. ((hugs)), Teresa :-)

That is one gorgeous lake you were at. I love that area. Having lived in Oconomowoc briefly I remember it well.
Hugs,

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.
