 First another Gansey hat. 
It is safe to say the Gansey bug has bitten! 
There are so many motifs included in the book I'm using I could stay on Ganseys until Christmas.....
Pretend friend Major Jennifer visited me last week! 
Fireman met BF and Zach did too.
Jennifer and I have now met twice;
so I'm doubly blessed.
We took them to the Memorial Park
on THE GLEN.   This area used to be the Glenview Naval Air Station. The base was closed in 1995 and the area 
was completely remade. 
The Glen kept the flavor of the Base
in many ways including this brick memorial.


Finally today -

I have two garden tomatoes sitting on my sill.
At a family party yesterday, someone brought a bounty of tomatoes in a bag for all to partake in. 
MMMMM, it is fresh tomato time in Chicago.
what time is it by you?

The Gansey hat is very nice!! Fun details in the pattern!

How nice to meet a friend as you have done! Great!

It's been so dry here, but local gardeners are starting to harvest their produce. I think we'll been seeing a lot of squash, corn, and carrots. Usually people are trying to give away zucchini...but haven't heard it happening yet. Tomatoes ought to be getting close.

It's "tomato plants are a dud" time here. It is just too hot in Texas for the tomatoes to want to grow. Other plants in my garden this year are a dud too, like cucumbers. Big vine--no cucumbers! But I do have watermelon and lots and lots of jalapenos!

My Uncle was stationed there in the 60's and 70's. We went there often to see him. I lived in Skokie at the time. I got to see the base when I visited a few years ago. Really nice how they did it.

 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...
