A time for Beatles to roll in the fresh cut grass

A time for glorious flowering irises 



 A time for American flags of all shapes and sizes

 and a time for cold pasta salads and grilling. 

 Not to mention:

 porch knitting
car trip knitting
picnic knitting
vacation knitting
sitting in the car with the windows rolled down knitting
dock knitting
pier knitting
beach knitting
lawn chair knitting

hammock knitting 
pontoon boat knitting
and even
firework knitting....

 Happy SUMMERTIME we deserve this!

Hope you have a wonderful extended weekend!!

I plan to knit in a lot of places this weekend. I was planning on knitting on the back patio with the misters on this evening but a huge rain storm came along so I am knitting to the pitter pat of the rain drops and the garden is singing in the rain!

It is 50 degrees here, windy, wet and COLD. All the pools and beaches are ready to open tomorrow but someone stole summer. I can't believe we still have the heat on. Cold or not,I can still eat me some pasta salad. Mmmm...

I still can't believe your cat puts up with a leash ... ours used to act like Gollum tied up with elven rope if we put a leash on them.

Happy all kinds of fresh-air knitting! :)

No more porch knitting for me for a few months. Too hot. Too humid.

The yarn just won't slip through my fingers this time of year.

Bring on WINTER! LOL

(Guess we lived flipped lives -- you knit summer. I knit winter.)

How did you teach Beatles to walk on a leash??? Going to give it a try with our next kitty. Thanks for reading, commenting and sharing.

Where did you get your kitty leash? I looked for one last time I was at the pet supply store, and didn't see any.

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...
