Warm thoughts for a Blizzard Warning

By -

Here is my Seaman's scarf about half way done. I am using Weaver's Wool Quarters, from Mountain Colors in : silverbow. I am using a faux cable pattern for the body. The neck is a simple 2x2 rib. I love how the faux cable is breaking up any pooling. (Sorry dear Katherine, not all pooling do I like.....) The pastels are nice on this wintry day.

Here are a few other warm thoughts for you on this Chicago Blizzrd warning day:

If you want to watch a hummingbird father taking great care of his chicks, go to
phoebeallens.com. A live webcam shows this ruby throated hummer raising the little
tiny birds.

It is Febrauary 1st already. What with all the blizzard hoopla, when I heard the air raid sirens go off this morning, I'd forgotten it was the first tuesday of the month and wondered, for a nanosecond, if we were having a tornado with the blizzard! How did you like that run on
sentence?

I bought some stemless wine glasses last week. Here's to my breaking fewer glasses.....
why didn't someone think of these sooner? I love them.

I used my AARP membership card for the first time last week. Fifty is nifty...

I have a new dentist. He doesn't use a drill! He uses a laser for fillings......

would you like to add to the post. A warm thought? Can you start it with the letter I?





I talk more in the comments!

Wonderful gratitudes! Pray for my sleep. It is really bad and I cannot start using the mild muscle relaxer/sleep aid until next Tuesday.

Nothing is moving in Texas due to 2 inches of snow. I know that sounds funny but things get serious when it snows in Texas! Anyway, I'm grateful for a snow day!! I hope you are out from under the white stuff soon.

Stemless wine glasses? You never cease to amaze me. I must find them!!

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...
