At long last

* Hummingbird at my feeder.....I've waited YEARS.. They've come to the flowers for a day or so each summer/fall, but never to the feeder. Never repeatedly. I am over the proverbial moon about this.
Now....how to get the loons here.....

*Austermann cotton yarn is the prettiest cotton I've ever laid my hands on. At long last, a cotton that looks like yarn, as opposed to rope! How will I part with it for Dish Rag tag?
Now....how to get my hands on more soon.

*Storms on the real time horizon. No kayaking today. Now, how to convince Fireman to watch a movie of my choice today....

*Have you waited years for a bird sighting????

I didn't know Austermann made cotton yarn. It looks like it has a tighter twist than other cotton yarns. Maybe that's why it is softer.

Nice looking cotton. Let me know how it feels as you work with it. I find most cottons stiff.

I wish for you as many hummys as we have had this year. We have our feeder in front of the dining room window and we have breakfast with the little guys/girls every morning.

That is good looking cotton and the colors are beautiful!

I can't say that I've waited forever for birds, but I HAVE been considering getting a feeder to draw some in.

My friend has a feeder and has all KINDS of beautiful birds at it, especially cardinals and house finches.

Congrats on finally getting a hummingbird.

Yes I have, I always put a feeder out every fall and we get lots of chickadees finches sparrows, blue jays, mourning doves, occasionally starlings and grackles and of course squirrels but the cardinals that eat 3 apartments down never come here---and I serve their favorite, sun flower seeds. I used to get hummers in my last 2 homes but don't see any here.

The coolest bird I ever had at one of my feeders where the pine and evening grosbeaks and the wierdest was a turkey with a broken leg that would hop on a table and eat from the feeder!

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...
