*This is how I make my sock yarn look thicker.....
I knit with lace for a week.

*I'm reading Making Rounds with Oscar. No it is not about Oscar Meyer bologna cut into rounds with Oscar the Grouch as chef. It is about the cat who predicted deaths among residents of a nursing home. You might say the cat's odds were good given the population, but really he was/is remarkable. He would sit with the patient who was next to die.
Non-cat lovers might say he caused the deaths, but we know better. Animals senses are so superior to ours.

*I'm drinking more water. Less Coke. That is my big complex resolution for this year.....
what day are we on? Day 10, oh yeah.

*I am so happy for the snow predictions for this week. I just cannot get into this March like weather in January, and as it were, December.

*I heard over the weekend that kids are now doing shots of alcohol in their eyes......
the things you learn here at irisheyes.....

In the eyes? Why would anyone do that?

I stopped drinking Pepsi for three weeks last year. Nothing happened--no withdrawal symptoms like the ones I had when I stopped drinking coffee. Then I decided enough was enough and started again except now I drink a bottle of water for every can of Pepsi. Good luck!

Beautiful blue yarn!!

Love that yarn! Whatever did you do with it? That's quite scary about the alcohol! Sounds painful, too. How's that Beatles doing?

Animals are never taught to ignore their intuition. I believe!!

 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...
