Exhausted from the Parties!

By -
 We interrupted our regularly scheduled programming for a week with my birthday goings on! 
Last night was the finale.
The spay neuter team opted for a Henna Tattoo party. 
Vet, Kristine's birthday is a few days after mine. 
 So much fun and this woman Bala, was so talented.
I think its time to get back to my slow life, on the porch,
with ample knitting and posting! 
 Miss Pie is adjusting to party life.
She actually came up the basement stairs to visit for a bit as did shy Tank Last night. !

Here's my comfort yarn ……
I've started my shawl and I'll show some progress soon. 
I opted for calm colors. 

I did make a baguette spread that was delish and I'll share it with you:

from Cooking Light

6 ounces broccoli florets
(2 cups)
1/3 cup canola mayo
2 tsp lemon Juice
1/4 tsp kosher salt
basil leaves
3 garlic cloves peeled
1 slice bread torn
(Opt: anchovey fillet) i left this out

Cook broccoli and cool
Combine broccoli may and others in food processor
Process until smooth. 

Spread on toasted baguettes
garlic bread or serve as raw veggie dip. 

Enjoy!

I haven't seen henna since the 60's when I used it to dye my hair orange. How lucky to have someone so talented turn you into a work of art!

Henna tattoos were popular when I was teaching overseas. I never did get one but thought they were pretty cool.

Love the yarn you selected for your shawl.

That looks like fun and the fact that they are not permanent (hopefully) makes it "funner"! Have a great weekend!!

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...
