Yarn and Blah Blah Blah

By -
 This is flowering ground cover. 
Anyone know what it's true name is? 
Lovin' the display of purply pink!
 This is what I'm reading.
If you like the Long Island Medium you will love the book. 
I love the book. 
It is full of hope and joy and a wonderful way to view death and the departed. 
If you think she's a quack then you 'll think the book is:
quackery!


My goal today is to drink a gallon of water. 
Seriously. 
If I know me, I'll drink about a quart...and 
give in! 
Perhaps I should knit with my goldfish colored yarn today. 

Have you seen the fun goldfish and jello desserts?
You take a ball jar.  
Fill it with blue jello
and add a 
Swedish Fish.
Set up it looks like a fishy bowl!

I don't create these amazing things, but I do pass them on!!!!

You mentioned water and suddenly I was thirsty and just had to have water. I love the idea of fishy ball jars with Swedish fish. Love those little Swedish fish!!

That's creeping phlox, I think. I love it, too, all that pinky-purple. A gallon of water is a LOT! I'd have to move into you know where if I drank that much. ;>)

Love the pretty pink flowers - I agree they're probably creeping phlox.
Since we've moved to Arizona, we've learned to continually be drinking water. Hubby got dehydrated had to spend the night at the hospital getting hydrated.

As others have said already, I agree, phlox! It is a beautiful plant isn't it. xx

I'd have to drag my spinning wheel into the ladies room if I drank that much water! Good luck with that...

Hmm let me see the flowers look like pretty things I would accidentally kill ;) ha! but they are lovely.

I like this concept of fish bowl themed snacks. Maybe not jello, but what if I did a candy bowl of like mixed fish things? gummies, sours, crackers, pretzels, chocolate? could be crazy fishy fun!

I think I drink a gallon of water a day - I have a stainless steel mug that holds almost a quart and I refill it at least 3 or 4 times a day. Of course I googled the jello fish thing and those are cute! ((hugs)), Teresa :-)

I drink a lot of water! Once you get in the habit it gets easier.

I had not heard of this dessert and I love the idea. I just have to find an appropriate occasion to make it!

I don't know what the flower is, but I know it is pretty.

I saw that fish/jello thing on Pinterest, but I was thinking the Swedish fish would get pretty soggy in the jello, don't you think? I'm guessing it's a texture only a child would love. LOL

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...
