Kathy B on B's

By -

This big buck trotted up behind us in Yosemite Valley.   Fireman and I were enjoying lunch in the meadow when he surprised us.   Isn't he beautiful?  I was glad he was not a Bear, at the time, yet the waitress we spoke to told us these are more dangerous than bears.  Well, she said the Momma Deer are serious when you get near their Bambi Babies.....I've always heard that males are goofy during their rutting season.

  On the needles, a baby beret.  Sweet, soft and swift.  I'll likely finish it by tomorrow.   I think a saucer is going to be the perfect size to shape it over.   I should know, I gave a  few baby bath's this workend.  I love when their hair stands up all clean and fluffy after a shampoo.   I love the clean smell of baby shampoo in their damp hair.

Bambi, babies....berets.......all good here at Irisheyes .......all good.

Nothing smells better than a freshly bathed baby!! What a wonderful job you have!

You have to watch out for all those wild animals. They are quirky at best! Baby Bambi is what got Max in trouble with the mom. He limped for a week after their encounter. Glad the big guy left you alone!

Any mama (two or four-legged) can get beastie when their young ones are threatened. ;oD

Oh yeah, I love the smell of clean babies - operative word - clean. ;oD

Not rushing things, but I am looking forward to being a gramma someday so I can smell clean baby again! Is there an air freshener by that name??? lol

Love all the Bs. Deer can be fierce, but I don't fear them and I do fear bears... and babies of the human sort. ;)

You were fortunate to get such a good close-up photo of the deer. Nice. Cute story about clean babies too.

That's a very beautiful deer! Newborn babies are so wonderful.

What a beautiful buck! We have deer roaming around behind my house, occasionally a buck, but our deer are much smaller than those up north or out west. On my needles more and more garter stitch that never seems to grow!
hugs to you,

Babies are so special, aren't they?

The nearly Thousandth post Contest

(just another baby legging in the image. Using my socks yarns a little differently) I think that blogger may not have correctly counted all the posts I've written. I've been posting since 2004 so I guess it is possible. I'm not going to go back and count them all. It says this is post 987. So we'll go with it. Im having a little contest for the milestone, but I have had writer's block since I decided on the 1000th post contest. So to take the pressure off, we are just going to do this now. :) I get crazy with pressure around events of all kinds. I just do. To enter: Please please please only leave a comment about this post on this post. Im much too flakey to search around differnt posts, afterall there are nearly a thousand (did I mention that number already? sorry....) Leave a comment telling me anything about Lace. If you dn't know anything about Lace, ask someone and share their knowledge. Do tell us who gave you this lace advice, to make it f...

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...
