Beauty is All Around US......How Fun

By -
I happen to be a huge Rob Lowe fan;his character Chris Traeger on Parks and Rec is flawless. I so love to watch him play this ever optimistic, glass half-full, sliver-lining guy. The show has really taken off in my mind in the last 2 years. Just Sayin!
Here are some blue bells from my walk yesterday. I love them. They bloom now and only now in our Chicago area. Do you ......blue bell??
So, I'm watching Parks and Rec
I'm walking again
and I'm reading the Knitting Pocket Bible by Mimi Hill. One of the websites that was new to me, in her book, is: Blacksheepwools.com. Give the site a look see if you have never.
I'm potato chip knitting the Life is Good Shawl in Lorna's Laces.
I'm a bit less tired. This is huge news. What a little steak and normal sleep cycles will do is amazing. With my new found energy I shall tidy up the humble abode today. I have strewn just about everything, just about everywhere in the last week.
A final thought for today: Better to have your enemies inside your circle pissing out, than outside your circle pissing in.....(that is from the Ted talk I mentioned yesterday)

Your title is what inspired me to stop and remember that little things in life that make it worth getting up each day. Beauty truly is all around us. I need to get out with my camera more.

I love Rob Lowe, but have not seen Parks and Rec. And so very, very true about the enemy. g

Lovely Bluebells!! Don't know about Parks and Rec. Will check on it. Love the final thought. That goes along with "keep your friends close and your enemies closer!"

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...
