The Weekend Wrap UP

By -
 On the way to see my mother in the nursing home, a rainbow. 
I told her about it. 
 The chipmunk eating seed out of the big cup in the garden.
Finally, my roses are blooming!

This weekend was for:

*going to CloseKnits Shop in Evanston with my pal Abby

*buying clearance yarns there for more charity mittens
(you know I can't resist when I'm in a new shop) 

*listening to the Triple Crown race while driving to the shelter for a cat meeting.  So old fashioned and wonderful to hear the race on the radio. 

*great reception from the cat people after I spoke about surrogates for orphaned kittens, as opposed to bottle feeding. 

*and, 
declaring the coming weekend as a COOK free zone.
Fireman was supposed to do a century ride Saturday.
His friends bailed on him. 
I told him,  if he cancels too, he has to know I was counting on no cooking the entire weekend while he was gone...
and 
that's my story and I'm sticking to it!

LOL, you are so funny! Would that be 100 miles to ride? That is impressive! We heard the race also, but our SIL taped it so I hope to get to watch it happen again. You oly bought yarn for mittens? I'd say you were quite restrained.....

Chipmunks are so cute! We don't have them here but our squirrel "Marauder" was taking a bath in the bird bath this morning. Sounds like a wonderful weekend. Stick to the no cooking resolve!

Bravo to Fireman for the century ride.

The chipmunk in the pot. ha! too cute. It looks like cross stitch! I'm right there with you wanting a cook-free weekend. Heck I want a cook-free week, and as busy as we are, I think there won't be very much cooking. You sound like you're having a good time and going to have some more!

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.
