This is the ever elusive Fiona kitty. She is over 15 now. She is skinny as a rail. It is very rare that Fiona lets us take her picture. So here you see Fireman forcing her to be photographed.

Fiona has been mothering me since Hucky passed. She is very attentive to me and wants to sleep with me now. It has taken her a lifetime to be braver. For years my father swore there was no cat Fiona in our home. He drove my children absolutely batty over this. They could never catch her to show her to my dad, and he kept up the joke (on them) for many years.

Im knitting. I am loving the little wrap I am making myself in the Great Ad. non wool blend.
I am still not knitting the Very Easy Baby Blanket that purl bee invented. I am almost done, but it is that
wool issue again.
I am ready to start something with the incredible buttercream soy that Katherine sent. What a trade!

I am having camera issues. UGH. Camera is fine but I am unable to download to the computer right now.

I have bigger fish to fry for the next few days. Enjoy your weekend .............what are you doing?
I'll talk to you in the comments. :)

Fiona is a cutey! Although she doesn't look real happy about being snagged.

My dad had a cat like that once, always hid when anyone came over.

Sweet Fiona sleeping with you since you lost Huck makes my heart flip-flop. What a sweetheart! DS#4 has a cat that is "in your face." Really, he comes and rubs around my legs the minute I walk into the house and if I sit he gets in my lap.

This weekend for me is all about hearding big fence builders around. The new fence is almost finished and Macy can't wait to get out of the run and into the whole yard again! Hope your busy stuff is more fun!!

Fiona & the Fireman...sounds like a great book title! The picture is so cute - a video would have been fun too, as I bet she was moving!!!!
Thanks for such a great blog - I do love your stories! Trish

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...
