Not So Simple Woman's Daybook Thoughts

By -
 Outside my window - I am not seeing hummingbirds that Fireman saw yesterday.  
I am thinking - my Chicago Bears Knitted hat for Zach helped them win last night.  
I am thankful - for so very much.  Rozzy is having a good stretch. 

In the Kitchen - I'm just loving my Keurig.  Fresh cuppa each morning.  Thanks to all who encouraged me.
 I am wearing, a green long sleeve sweater that people often ask if I've knitted. ha!

I am creating - a hooded scarf with my Sheep and Wool Festival Green Mountain Spinnery Yarn.  Natural brown. 
Minimally processed and surprisingly soft. 
40% kid mohair 60% fine wool.
It is supposed to be a cold winter…
Pie loves this yarn and wants to lick it.
I am going -  to look at the lot down the street where they, this very morning, knocked an old house down.  I'm pretty sure that critters were living quite happily in there.

I am wondering - how I'll feel when we knock this house down someday. 

I am Reading - A book On Catholic Prayer. It is very easy to read. Short chapters.  

I am hoping - that the sun comes out for the rest of this week. 

I am looking forward to -
Kayaking in Lake Michigan this week. 

I am hearing - the construction crew down the street. 

Around the house - we can't decide if we need the a/c or the blankets from one day to the next.

I am pondering - planning a Halloween dinner party without any costumes, before the actual day.  

Favorite quote: "I believe this will be our finest hour"
from Apollo 13.  Wow, hope in the face of disaster.

Plans for the week: 
Volunteering in the OR at The animal hospital,
kayaking if the waters are calm,
knitting and possibly working if needed. 

Peek into my day:
you just did!
And the picture of Fireman in the hardware store,
reminds me of me in a yarn shop.  He just loves the hardware store.  

Thoughts?

Knocking down houses is sad,but necessary. I am positive your hand made hat had something to do with the win, you might just have magic powers of the knitting kind!

Here's to a great week ahead! Fireman in a hardware store looks very much like one of us gals in a yarn store!! Good one.

Yup, I see it too, Fireman definitely has "the look" on his face that I have seen on women's faces at a yarn store. I love the comparison :-) [I like reading through some of your other thoughts as well, Kathy]

I love the picture of Fireman in the hardware store. DH and I just came from the hardware store and had so much fun. He came home with a dremel. I didn't know we needed one until he told me what it will do which is pretty much anything.

Your quote is wonderfully uplifting. I heard a good one this week--"It's not about the days of our lives, it's about the life in our days." Billy Graham.

If this winter is like LAST winter, that hooded scarf certainly will come in handy. That's a pretty yarn you are going to use.

The first place The Mister and I went after we got married was a hardware store. Aren't we the romantics.

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...
