A Beautiful day for a.

By -


*walk! My Pedometer was over 5000 when I accidentally reset it.....oops. My walk was much lighter than yesterday. One day difference between a down coat, fingerless mitts, a cowl and a hat. Today I just wore my favorite sweatshirt: FIND LOVE ADOPT.

*Royal Wedding. She looked beautiful, I thought.

*knitting appointment with my new yarn! Barking Dog Yarns colorway: Haven. 100% merino. 8 ply. Subtle colors/ greys and lavendars....

*kitten or two. Carter and Noah are growing and more adorable all the time...somehow...
They romp and roll and play together until they are so worn out they collapse together. This has been so fun. Coming to an end, next week. They will probably be big enough to get spay/neutered and adopted out!

*Ballgame. Hope better spring eternal. Things are mighty awful for the Cubs lately.

*nap with the window open

*a COMMENT! (sneaky I know)

What is beautiful about your day?

Snow fell here today, so fleece coats and fingerless mitts are still necessary. Where is Spring?

From your comment on my blog --- which yarn did you want to know the price on ...

The Shenanigans was $26.00

The Heart & Sole was $5.99 each and you need 2 skeins to make a pair.

I have some BD yarn, too; she has nice stuff. We had a good walk today also, for once with no umbrellas!

I thought she was lovely, but honestly? I only watched long enough to see the horses and carriages.

It was cooler here again today.

Mixed blessing that the kittens are growing up so fast!

Kate was timeless like Grace Kelly! I loved her dress.

What was beautiful about my day? I spent the day with Royalty and knitting. Now I'm going to bed feeling totally relaxed and happy.

Barking Dog Yarns--what a wonderful name!

Queen's Day here in The Netherlands today - starts sunny, so that is good ;-)

Have to put something new on the needles... might be fun ;-)

What are you going to make with the pretty ball of yarn?

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...
