The All of It

 Someone's enjoying the fire!
 Loved the bag....just not practical
 Cut open the pumpkin for our squirrels' Thanksgiving
Read on a blog, (Whose?) that this was a great Irish book.
It is very very short.  It was okay. 
Thought I'd read it before I gave it to my friend Helen. 
My mom might have loved it.

Slow roasted a turkey breast at 175 degrees for hours yesterday.
You start at 450 for 15 minutes then turn it down. 
And then you wait and wait for hours. 
But it was
Moist
Delicious
A winner of a way to roast our turkey

There's been knitting of course.
Cotton scarf knitting.
This two circs thing slows me down but I'm enjoying it none the less. 

That's the All of It here today!

That photo of Fezzik is just the epitome of "HOME". He looks like he is truly enjoying the fire.

Hanging out in front of a fire and having slow roasted turkey for dinner...sounds perfect.

No fireplace here, but I do have a fireplace video that I pop into the DVD player occasionally. It's fun to knit in front of a roaring fire.

Right now, there is a small roast in the oven with some carrot chunks. I haven't eaten beef in ages, so I hope it's good.

Love the smell of roasted turkey and I think I'll be making one for our Christmas dinner. Our lab Chloe lays in front of our gas fireplace jut like your kitty does. Knitting, a fire and Christmas movies. That's what our weekend has been all about.
Blessings,
Betsy

Fezzik looks like a happy cat. Nothing like toasting your tummy by the fire! I'm all about brining and fast-roasting turkeys at high heat. :) Squirrel looks plump and contented, and what a great bag!

Lucky squirrel. Ours are brown here. How interesting to roast a turkey that way! How long did it take altogether?

Love the image of Fezzik in front of the fire.. he is one well-loved cat. That seems low to roast a turkey! After my 4th day of eating leftovers.. I'm over it. ((hugs)), Teresa :-)

Well it takes a long time Stefanie. It can take really long if it is a whole turkey. Like 17 hours. ...

 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...
