Happy Happy New Year

By -
if you are kicking back, hunkering down or ready to hibernate a bit, you are not alone. all the festivities were great, but I love my ordinary days. Here are a few good links for you to enjoy:

Www.Morehousefarm.com. This site has a really cute Igloo hat pattern. it is a great site to enjoy and get some pattern ideas.
the Critters for Knitter section has adorable animal themed scarves for kids, or kids at heart!

Good old Woolywormhead.com is always a joy to visit. There are at least 25 free hat patterns to consider. I am going to knit their baby beret.

Santa brought me the cutest little crock pot. I am planning to make the Beach Boys Pot Roast this week. The only ingredients are 1lb of beef chuck roast, a jar of peppiorcini peppers, and cloves of garlic. You make slits in the roast and push the garlic into it. Pour the jar of peppers over the roast and cook it for 12 hours on low in the crock pot. Shred it and serve on good buns

I am working the holiday weekend, of course, but I wish you the best of New Years.

 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...
