NO Knit Photos Today

 A huge Begonia at the Botanic garden in my favorite shade of orange......
proof that the weeds must be pulled by hand, the old fashioned way!  No automated, cyberassisted weed machine..... just the human hands.  Like knitting!!!

Are your human hands in shape today?  I gave myself a manicure...so mine are  looking fine.....

Isn't it amazing how expressive hands can be? My one regret is that I didn't take photos of my Mother's hands, yet I can see them in my mind.

My fingers - and toes - need some attention. I do my own hand/nail care, but maybe I can work in a pedi in the next few days...

I've been gardening so my hands need help!! The man pulling weeds reminded me of the sign I saw on Pinterest yesterday, "Ring bell. If no answer pull weeds!"

I'm in dire need of a mani-pedi. Hope to get them done this weekend while watching the Olympics.

Love those Botanic Gardens photos; it's one of our favorite spots to visit when we come to Chicago. Those stocking caps turned out so cute! I especially like the pink and purple one.

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...
