Happy Fourth Of July in the USA

By -

Nicest weather I can recall for a Fourth of July around Chicago. Hot but not too hot. Sunny and not a cloud in the sky. I'm mostly on the porch enjoying all the commotion around me in the neighborhood. Fireman is grilling some burgers shortly...he watched the parade from the Firehouse apron, while I slept at home. Someone actually pulled their car into the firehouse garage and asked if they could park there for the parade.....
Do you make your own lemonade from scratch? I did once, and it involved boiling a syrupy mix and it was wonderful.

I'll be crocheting until my eyelids get heavy tonight.. Doubt I'll walk down to the fireworks display...Will you knit on the Fourth of July ????

Tomorrow there will be kitten updates......they are uber adorable now....

Cloudy here today, so not a good backdrop for fireworks.

Yes, i did a bit of knitting today, using a new pattern. I'm not sure I like it.

The only fireworks we saw tonight were the ones being set off in neighborhoods as we drove along the expressway. Some were pretty darn impressive.

I'm just about to settle in and finish up on Steve's sock #1.

I stayed in today. I heard some neighbors setting off some fireworks, but didn't go out to see them. We grilled some burgers and I knit.

Our fireworks are tonight. We will go.
The louder the better.
No knitting.

We went to see Bad Teacher and it was hilarious.
Raunchy and funny.

OMG! Someone had the cajones to ask to park in the firestation? Stupid!!

 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...
