Things I love........

*ivy on the walls. My neighbors are having a wedding soon. This is the ivy that greets me from across the street. I love ivy. (wrigley ivy mostly,) This growth is pure angel. I have to call my neighbor b/c I believe it is a gift from her little niece who died of a brain tumor. Thanks little Emily, I will make sure Auntie Jule sees it. And you great mom Katie too.

okay now, put away the tissues.

I also love

*hearts. I collect them . My engagement diamond is a heart.

* Closeknits in Evanston. Great sweet little shop. Sweet people work there.

*The new GPS system that finds such places for me. (recalculating recalculating)

*What this woman did with a unsure baby gift is something i love: go see at Knitabulous.blogspot.com

*The beautiful dreamy sight: Cakespy.com

*Equestrian, Olympic style.


I'll talk to you in the comments. :)

I love me some Olympics Equestrian... too bad that NBC isn't showing it all....

I think I might need to make a cowl. I think it might be catchy.

I love ivy also and it's a good thing because the entire front of our house is covered with it. The ivy was there when we bought the house and is growing into the brick so I guess it will stay.

Love the ivy! Now I am going to look at cakespy - cake in any form is something I can totally get behind. I think I want cake to be my hobby.

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 ha...

Dear buddy nurse and spay neuter pal Linda, came to visit yesterday.  We knitted. We laughed.  We shared books we are reading. She Showed me her scarf.  It looks like a shawl but it is a scarf. Here is her yarn choice. And the( OUCH) price.   It makes her happy to knit.  If Linda's happy I'm happy.  I dont' know the pattern and neither does she.  Her dog literally shredded her pattern.  She was at a point where she had memorized the easy part and she's nearly finished.  So there you go, anyone know the pattern? You are all so sweet about the move and the house. This morning I got my cuppa joe and headed to the porch to write you.  In the distance, my nearest neighbor, whom I can see through some trees.... well one of their teens came out, stretched, peed on their lawn casually, and then laid in his hammock for 5 minutes.  I'm sure he's not the first boy to do this.  I'm not even sure he's the...
