Monday Musings...

 Socks socks socks, 
Seems like we are all knitting socks, right? 
This is Stonehedge Fiber DK from Michigan, in Crazy.
Purchased in Virginia. 
Landed in Chicago. 
These socks will not match but they will be sister socks...
 If I was not officially a crazy cat lady before, I am now.
We have a cat tree. 
Fireman has been vehemently opposed to this object in the house. 
So while he was at a SPIN class for teachers conference yesterday, I snuck out to Homegoods and Bought one. 
Pie and Beatles were overjoyed about it as measured by:
Scratching the carpet and Climbing the tree.
Pie fell a few times coming down...but she's starting to memorize it. 
The as measured by thing is nursing school jargon...
I'll leave you with the view from my yard:
Sugar Maples, roses and Joe Pye weed in bloom.
Colors are almost peak here....

I'm knitting socks after a loooong dry spell. It feels good to have the needles in my hands again.

Love the view down your street - gorgeous colors.

Are you alternating two colors on that sock, or are my eyes deceiving me? Autumn in the Midwest is pretty; here it's being pretty rainy. Glad your cats like the tree! What is it about cats liking high places? One of ours used to head for the space above the kitchen cupboards! Ours here aren't like that.

Daughter has a cat tree that her kitties love. My kitties are not the climbing kind. They are the hiding kind so we have lots of tunnels for them to climb through.
We've finally got some color here too. We were going to go out to the mountains tomorrow to take a look but it's going to rain.

How could Fireman not like the cat tree? I am not knitting socks, actually I am not knitting at all. I had better get moving.
Hugs,

I love Pie's ability to adapt to anything. That makes the kitty super-special.

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...
