Summertime Summertime

 Rosalyn wanted some time on the blog.  She's our old girl.  She is an amazing tabby/torti mix.  Her personality is awesome....Here she is at 15 years of age, enjoying the screened porch the other day.
Cakespy posted this image of a watermelon cake on her blog today.  Jessie is awesome.  I'd love to eat this cake!

In my knit world this is going on:

*I finished another Life Is Good Shawlette yesterday.  I"ll show you soon.

*On my way to the Colour cowl I took a turn....I think Im making it a keyhole Scarf now.  I just love the orange yarn knit up.  I never use this color and I think it is refreshing to me.   I am afraid that the seam on the Colour cowl will mess me up in the end.  There I go, retreating to safety.  But that is the story of my life....
and I don't mind it so much.   Have you retreated to "Safe" lately???

What a pretty and sweet-looking kitty!

Wow that watermelon pie/cake does look good. I'm probably too lazy to try something like that though.

I haven't had a chance to resort to much of anything lately, due to a hand brace on my right hand. I hope it will be able to come off soon!

My goodness, you have turned into a knitting machine with so many finishes! Great job.

I love tabbies and Rosalyn is a beauty!

I suppose it was an unplanned retreat to safety. While I poured over Pinterest last night, trying to decide what cold pasta recipe I'd make for tonight, the Knight quietly doubled his recipe and I'll be serving baked piccolini and meat sauce!

Our Ginger is a torti also, only lots darker than your cute Roslyn. Love the cowl pattern; thanks for the link!

Okay no retreating to safety for me because frankly I do not know where safe is! That cake makes me want to jump in your blog and grab it. Thanks for the emails.

 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...
