Summer Favorites

There were miniature lily pads at our botanic gardens 
They would fit in a barrel of water
They were adorable
Who knew

Years ago our neighbor Janet
Made these little peanut butter snack balls in the summer
You can google allrecipes and make them
They are made with peanut butter ,
Dried milk powder, raisins, honey and graham cracker crumbs
They remind us of driving to the north woods and. Floating down the tea colored tomahawk river everyday 

I'm busy knitting my new top
And it will be something I hope will mind me of THIS summer

What reminds you of past wonderful summers

Treasures from previous summers: flowers pressed in my dictionary and shells collected on a Texas beach.

We are just driving home from Tomahaek where we have a cottage on Lake Mohawkson. I wonder where you were on the river! Beautiful place, up north!

Bonfires on the beach. Not allowed to build fires on the beach anymore.

Fireflies. I can't get over the magic of them. I'm a kid again whenever I see one.

Oh my, the snack balls look like a great treat!! I guess campfires and boat bring back a lot of memories.

The smell of chlorine. I have all these other thoughts, but one that was consistent was the smell of chlorine and the feel of sand, being cold at the edge of piece of water somewhere.

The nearly Thousandth post Contest

(just another baby legging in the image. Using my socks yarns a little differently) I think that blogger may not have correctly counted all the posts I've written. I've been posting since 2004 so I guess it is possible. I'm not going to go back and count them all. It says this is post 987. So we'll go with it. Im having a little contest for the milestone, but I have had writer's block since I decided on the 1000th post contest. So to take the pressure off, we are just going to do this now. :) I get crazy with pressure around events of all kinds. I just do. To enter: Please please please only leave a comment about this post on this post. Im much too flakey to search around differnt posts, afterall there are nearly a thousand (did I mention that number already? sorry....) Leave a comment telling me anything about Lace. If you dn't know anything about Lace, ask someone and share their knowledge. Do tell us who gave you this lace advice, to make it f...

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...
