I am very certain you do not need to see the inch by inch progress on the Ruffle Shawl.
What else do humans measure by inch frequently?

Bass and other fish
Rainfall ( I have broken so many gauges, I just call my dear mom. It is an excuse to chat and make her feel like her totals are the official)
Puppies of course (from morning to night they grow in front of your eyes)
Head circumference on some babies
one's girth (for the truly motivated) present company Excluded
and the last one I'll offer is: the amount of apricot filled brie I can afford at the farmers market!
Please chime in. Any others that immediately come to mind?

On other notes:
Im showing you the gorgeous label on the coffee Al brought us from Alaska. I want to frame it. But that is just me.

I am trying cooking/scone/bread mixes to see if my ratio of baking success to failure will improve.
I can add a stick of butter,egg and vanilla speedy quick, and have incredible cookies ready pronto.
These were just plain old: White chocolate chip cranberry butter cookies! WONDERFUL>


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

My first thought was a puppy's tail because Max is getting longer but no taller and his tail drags the ground. If he doesn't grow up some he will be a strange looking little dog.

Rain gauges: we have been through two in the last six months. The Texas wind and hail either destroys them or carries them away.

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...
