 I'm picking up where Channon left off on her Thankful THORSDAY, Little Friday posts. 

Thankful for the birthday yarn from AL: My First Regia in blues.
Thanks for bringing me back around to socks. 
Next up: Viking Mini Raggen Sock Yarn from Katherine.

 Thankful for our little tomato harvest. 
Thanks Chicago Botanic Gardens for the tomato plant giveaway in June. 

So much more to be thankful for:

my $1.29 package of Cosmos seeds from Walgreens yielded these double cosmos beauties.  

the free pint of Culvers' frozen custard from Lifesource Blood for our donations last night

the lovely cool sleeping weather 

Siri....she sends messages for me so I can safely drive 

And YOU!

You have an impressive list of thankfuls. Today, I am very thankful for my acupuncturist: she has made it possible for me to walk without pain and chew without my jaw constantly popping. I'm a happy camper!

Those socks are adorable and your cosmos are beautiful. That's $1.29 well spent! I'll be incredibly grateful for rain and cooler sleeping weather; I'd be deliriously happy if we got both!

The Cosmos are lovely. I put a package in the ground a few years ago and they keep coming back. Cool sleeping weather? Lucky you!!!

Love those baby socks! Your cosmos are amazing, too. And the tomatoes are impressive; no matter what kind of tomato plants we tried, they always turned out to be itty bitty, so we finally gave up. It's too cool here although this would have been THE year to try it since our weather has been so crazy. Looks like we'll be coming your way at the end of September.....

 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...
