August Already Photo

By -
I'll have you know this idyllic farm scene was shot from the moving truck.  Fireman does. not. stop. for my photos.  


Here are the Irisheyes men with the weird eyed Pie.
She has become such a lover. 
But don't try cut this one's nails' alone.
She'll eat you alive. 
We do it anyhow.
We wrap her in a towel.
Another person clips the nails.
She protests something fierce.

The past two days I've worked on my blanket;the one in blues and yellows that will be a WIP for another long while.

August 2nd wow.  Kids leaving for college soon! 
Moving month for us. 
Zach heads to Mexico.
Still plenty of time to swim, go on a vacation,
head to the beach, have a party, a picnic
or a perfect sunset photo. 

LEt's see how good we can get with our sunset photos tonight???? anybody game?

On the move already? Love the barn shot and the guys with Miss Pie.

Too much smoke in the area from forest fires to get a good sunset photo tonight. ;o(

I can't see the sun from here anymore. I am deep in a dark hole in a forest that hasn't dried out in months. The canopy is thick this year. The trees are loving this weather. Me not so much.

You must be so busy packing and how exciting and relieving that the moving day will be here soon. Your method of trimming your cat's claws reminds me of when the ER wrapped up Jellybean in a sheet and laid her on top of her father. She was two years old then and had to get her forehead wound cleaned out before the doctor gave her two, dissolvable stitches and then surface oens.

You are brave cutting a cats nails. I would never attempt that! It's hard to believe that it's August already. Moving is SO much work.
Blessings,

We live in a holler in a hilly area and do not have a clear view of the sunset sky.. or the sunrise either.. that's where our little forest is. So, enjoy yours and I hope you have good views from the new house. Enjoy your August, it sounds like it's the end of an era for you all. ((hugs)), Teresa :-)

Ohhhhhhhhhhh....too late for me to get a sunset photo. It's after dark already....and we had a spectacular sunset due to some pretty wicked thunderstorms early this evening.

Giroux doesn't like having his nails trimmed, but at least it can be a one-woman job. He just wiggles a lot.

are you moving far? I can't remember or did you keep it a secret?? I love when the school year starts, so exciting and fun. I bet you will miss them though.

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...

(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...

This is a call for knitters to knit a baby blanket no bigger than a cookie sheet. Blankets will be distributed in the NICU where I work. We just don't get many blankets. We need them. Traditional baby colors will do, but we'd love you to branch out a bit. Use up those leftovers if you wish. You could win a lovely prize. All who send a blanket by November 1st, ALL SAINTS DAY, you angels you, will be entered in the drawing. Here are the rules: Blanket must be made of yarn which is washable. Sorry, Hospital rules. It cannot be bigger than a cookie sheet. Smaller is welcome also. That's it. Those are the rules. I'll post the prize by next week. Mail a blanket to me Kathy B if you need my snail mail address,email me at Harpnut@gmail.com
