Friday Fun

By -
 It's Friday here in our blog land,
I'm knitting a pattern I can understand,
My flowers are planted and seeds are sown
The earwigs are eating them I must bemoan,
There are holes in my coleus, lace-like you see
But all of you know Lace is Greek to me,

These little flip flops were made in a snap
by Meghan whose 7, all she did was wrap
little balloons around the one part
and it took less than an hour from finish to start.

I;'m waiting for fireflies to light up the night
its one of my most favorite summer delights
The breezes are lovely from here where I sit
I'm ready to pick my needles and knit

and so Happy Friday to you and to you
May you finish a project and start one new too.

Pretty rhymes! Love the flip flops, but I can't wear them anymore. What fun to have such a creative young friend!

Cute poem. Thanks for making my Friday brighter!

I can't wear flip flops--never could. I can't stand anything between my toes, but I have to say that those are the cutest flip flops I've ever seen!

Oh how fun! Happy feet!

I miss fireflies. My California-raised kids have no idea what they've missed.

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...
