Traveling Scarf!

By -
 It's a drizzly rainy cold Halloween in Chicago.
We lit our pumpkins outside last night so the neighbors could enjoy them.
We will try again today if the rain lets up.
 Kim organized a traveling scarf and it arrived today. 
Perfect day for me to look for the sock yarn I want to contribute to it. 
She sends the needles along...very smart idea. 
She also sent me a lovely blue project bag.
I LOVE tie dyed anything.
Have you tried Lux Luxurious Lavender Lotion.
Thanks to Kim, I have and its thick and wonderful.
Love the scent too.

Thanks for putting up with all my Halloween posts.  
 
There was a TRICk this week that happened.
 
I was stopped at a busy intersection on a rain afternoon. 
Suddenly I heard loud popping sounds hitting my car. 
I thought , WHat in the world?
A flock of scared geese had flown over and pooped ALL over my car. 
I mean ALL Over it. 
I had to laugh.
It was like being paintballs pelleting my little honda. 
Off to the wash we went. 
 
So many Treats and a Trick this week!
Any tricks by you?

Actually, it was Vicki from knitorious who sent the bag (which I'm positived she dyed herself; she's amazing) and the lotion. But those ARE my needles. Have fun!!

For me, a little rain, a little chill make it feel more like Halloween. Enjoy your trick-or-treaters.

Too funny! Poor Honda. Daughter just paid a fortune to have her new (white) Volvo cleaned because she let poop stay on for too long and it wasn't coming off. The dealer said poop is the worst for your paint. Love the idea of the scarf. In fact, I did that myself and then turned it into legwarmers because sock yarn, however soft on the feet, gave me neck itchies.
Happy Halloween!

I am SO disappointed. We only have five trick-or-treaters tonight. I guess they all go to parties or to Trunk-Or-Treat at the local churches.

Some years I went though over 15 bags of candy. Tonight we didn't even use up ONE! :-(

Oh well ..................now we are on to my FAVORITE holiday......Thanksgiving.

Your pumpkins are adorable. I hope you got to light them up tonight.

Sorry about the goose attack. LOL I bet for a moment it was quite scary.

You are SUCH a good sport! Only you can make a natural "disaster" Mother Nature's idea of a Halloween trick. I'm glad you got some treats too!

 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...
