First up: All of the swappers will get an email from me today with the details. :) 
IF you are Leslie or Alyssa I need your addresses again pluh-ease. We've got a really nice group.  I've got the envelopes almost ready to go - 

This is one of the monster moths that freaked me out 2 nights ago outside the porch screen. Oh Beatles so wanted to catch one. Tank prefers to eat them. 
Pie prefers to eat this bow rather than wear it. I found it on a walk the other day and its just her size.  
Yes I tried to make her wear it..again. 

 I'm starting another gansey hat today!  I found some great yarn at Mosaic on sale today. 

What makes new yarn so enticing?????????
I have to cast on this afternoon!!

I haven't seen any of the large moths yet, but the miller moths are migrating. The mountains must be cooling off too much for them. They arrive here in early June in mass on their way TO the mountains, and in the Fall on their way FROM the mountains. I wonder where they winter?

I think it must be the wool fumes. LOL Good luck with your new cast on!

Pie is SO adorable.

Our neighbor adopted a dog last weekend. "Marty" is so sweet. He is supposed to be German Shepard/Boxer mix, but I suspect there is a little pit bull in there too. He has a massive head. LOL We are looking forward to seeing our new furry-neighbor often.

My little Max loves to eat those big moths if he gets to them before I do. The dog has a bug fetish! The bugs must be all protein though because none of them have made him sick--yet.

I'm looking forward to the swap!!

Looks like Mothra has landed. Have you seen two tiny little girls running around and singing? Just kidding. I loved that movie.

Gretchen chases the moths... or tries to. Moth hunting is hard when you're vertically challenged!

Pie is super-cute!!

I am feeling today like I'm going to live, thankfully, but can't wait to enjoy the swap vicariously. :-)

Pie with the bow is the best!

 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...
