Nothing But Questions

By -
 *How can my neighbor's Goat's Beard be doing so much better than mine? (oops thou shalt not covet thy neighbors plants) 
 *I am working on my own round toe instructions.
(Does this make me a designer?) 

 *Why does it take so long to plan and cook dinner, yet we eat in about 5 minutes? 

 *Why does the hummingbird visit my feeder some nights and not others?  
*Do the Blackhawks keep winning because I go to bed before the games are over?

 *and finally, why haven't I seen any fireflies this summer?

I don't know the answer to all of your questions but I am SURE that you are the reason the Night Hawks are losing. Selfish.

Great questions. . .

I haven't seen a firefly in years - they don't visit WY.

The fireflies are around. I saw some last year.

I am constantly calling my husband asking what he wants for dinner. We have the hardest time deciding. I like it when it is something take out then we do not have to decide (until we are there).

As for the Hawks they are causing palpitations with these games.

I saw a firefly yesterday. Why's your neighbor's plant doing better? I think it's because there is some sort of rule, sort of like no matter which line you get into at the grocery store, it's the slowest one. I dunno.

We saw our first fireflies Friday night!! LOVE to see them... they signal summer and fun!

Is it wrong for me to covet YOUR neighbor's Goat's Beard? ;) blessings ~ tanna

We have fireflies but not as many as usual! Blackhawks? I don't know, but I can say for certain that Phil Mickelson only wins when I don't watch him play! He can be 5 strokes in the lead and as soon as I start watching, the wheels come off!

I can't wait to see the sock toe pattern from designer Kathyb!!

We haven't seen any fireflies either , I'm thinking it has something to do with our wet , cool spring . We have a field across from our house and there are usually lots there in an evening . I sit outside to see them until the mosquitos find me .

As for the Blackhawks keep going to bed early , would love to see them win ;-) . Sorry Dee....

Our neighbors plants all look better than mine because he doesn't have ten dogs trampling them.

Yes, that does make you a designer.

The cooking vs eating thing is because life isn't fair.

Your hummingbird probably has a route that he covers and only hits you every third night.

We haven't seen any fireflies this year either. We've been wondering what happened to them.

PLEASE, PLEASE stay up for the next game so Boston can win.

Okay I'm muttering Goat's Beard like rainman now. Happy?? ;) I am superstitious about who is in the room and conscious when viewing sports as well. Go Blackhawks! (for me Dad) Check your ravelry inbox!! I think your luck is shiny good this week!

Why does my next door neighbor have a huge, beautiful bougainvillaea, and I have a little one in a pot that the deer destroy? Yes you are a designer and don't mess with the Blackhawks, go to bed early.
Hugs,

yes, crafting your own round toe instructions makes you a designer.

I think the blackhawks winning is a combo of the fact that you go to bed before it's over and my husband desperately wants the Bruins to win.

I've often wondered the same thing about dinner - hours to plan, prep, cook and clean up - gone in minutes. I'm trying hard to eat slower and more consciously.

I love your sock yarn! I had to LOL at the Blackhawks winning streak and you going to bed early. I've had teams like that too!

We don't get any fireflies here in Florida. They are what I look forward to when we visit NY in the summer. Do you think the weather has affected their arrival?

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...
