There That was fun......

Yesterday was about as gloomy outside as it gets  here...This
 image was taken from the car at 6 p.m.  This morning there is a bit of fresh snowfall..

When things are this grey and gloomy we go to our favorite restaurant with NO windows..ha ha..
Dave's Italian Kitchen 
 It always delivers a fantastic meal. Their Chicken Marsala is simply the best anywhere...
My shawl is a thing of beauty on these grey March days.  I simply love the simple pattern of some stockinette and and the a row of knit 2 togethers and a Yarn over.   I am in love with the casbah yarn.  
Finally, if you need to cheer yourself up on a grey dismal Chicago March day, you can foster kittens......a little bundle of soft fur instantly picks me up!!! 

 How do you pick yourself up when the weather gets you down?

You're a hoot. I've had the privilege of knowing three Doris-named humans, and all were larger than life, so it IS a good name for an elephant!

I don't do well on grey days. I want to just crawl back in bed, let the fur-girls snuggle close, and read.

I love this post and Doris is a perfect name for an elephant! As for your pictures... I love them but wish my computer had the same ability to enlarge images as my ipad. I want to see the details of that shawla nd will see if I can get to your ravelry project page for more information. Ditto on getting a closer peek at that scrumptious kitten!

A fun post. On a grey day, I enjoy a warm fire in the wood stove, sitting at the piano for an hour, knitting a project I am anxious to finish, sipping on a warm chai tea latte. All are good ways to lift the spirit. A sweet bundle of kitty or puppy energy is pretty darned wonderful too!

Fun post! Such interesting things about you!! I like Isaiahlove u, but Doris? I'm thinking about that one, an elephant named Doris, hmmmm.

When the weather gets me down and keeps me inside I watch an episode or two of Monarch Of The Glen (BBC). It always brightens my mood!

I love gray days as a rule so they actually cheer me up. I have a strict no housework policy when it is gloomy out so I look forward to them. I lock myself in the craft room with absolutely no guilt.

That kitteh is serious centerfold material. What a beauty!

Luckily, here in Florida we don't have too many grey days. Today happens to be one of them, but I don't let it get me down. We really need the rain. I can almost hear the yard saying, "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh".

Thanks for sharing your answers! Fun stuff. I love the yarn and the shawl, and chicken marsala too :)

Nothing like tea and yarn for me on a grey day, but we haven't had very many in the Bay Area.

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...
