Well, That Was FUN!

Thanks to you all I have a bigger better picture of where 
YOU live.   We are all over the map - 
I live north of the city of Chicago.
It seems a very congested place when we travel to quieter locales. 
Yesterday, Fireman took me to one of the prairies he helps to tend in the winter.  
This little piece of quiet was so pretty. 
The wildflowers were blooming.  See?






I was a bit worried about poison ivy and ticks.
I think we came home alone. :)

I'm off to Spay Neuter this morning. It is puppy and kitten season. I get my pup fix this way. 

Later I'll knit more of the second Trap scarf/stole.

Yesterday I knitted with friends.  Nancy had cervical spine surgery a week ago, and needed to get out.  She ordered a chardonnay and drank it through a straw.  Gotta love determination! 

Are you determined today?

No .....not determined today. Rough morning. Maybe I can be determined this afternoon. ;-)

Glad you had a nice trip out to the prairie. It's nice to get away from the busy-ness once in awhile.

Fireman's prairie is divine - love all that green and the flowers!

I am determined to control the chaos in my sewing room. Slowly, I am making progress.

Fireman took you to a beautiful spot. Nice. Serene. And the wildflowers are beautiful.

I've got some cleaning and sorting to do...but I keep finding ways to avoid the tasks!

Glad you escaped the ticks and poison ivy; those ticks were out in MN, too. Today I'm determined to practice my choir music.

Had the pup spayed yesterday so I'm determined she won't lick what she shouldn't. She's determined she won't wear the cone. And I've got two more weeks of this fun...

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...
