If I wait to add the photos…

I’ll never post a thing.  Which is pretty much what I’ve been doing.  Never not posting nothing at all.
I should tell a story, a sappy story, a tearjerker.  (But I don’t have one of those.)
Light’s changing.  I can’t count on light creeping in the window to remind me my alarm already went off.  I hope [...]

Lost Habit

(If I ever had the habit…)
I’ve got a memory card full of photos to sort through.
I’ve got a backlog of this and that in my head. Rapidly dissipating into the realm of lost ideas.
I’m playing with the spindle. Addictive little thing. I’ve got one or two or three somewhat active knitting projects.  Very slowly active.
I’ve [...]

Not just microscopic wisteria

We also have one sunflower that survived the snails! (Must remember to buy diatomaceous earth and I’m not checking the spelling on that.)

Oh, all right. That’s not the whole story.

Tomatoes and strawberries in the earth boxes (in front of the lonely sunflower). So far, so good.

The patio. The rose is getting [...]

Snapshot of a good day

Time to take down the Easter eggs hanging around the house.  We celebrate Spring, and spring means painted eggs brought by fertile rabbits.  Very confusing thing, Spring.  But it was more like Summer early this week, and nobody could move or think.  Now we’re back to normal weather, of a sort.  Much more pleasant.  We [...]

Beware of Rabbit

The other weekend, we put the rabbit out (into a temporary pen on the grass) to clean her hutch and give her a change of scenery. We need a sign. Beware of Rabbit. My husband tried to pick her up to return her to the hutch. He was attacked by angry, [...]

a lazy brain

I’m not sure I’d call it writer’s block, more of a lazy brain. I think of things to share, to pontificate, to celebrate. And then I’m in front of the computer and it all drifts into the further recesses of my brain. Which isn’t willing to do the work to dig it [...]

Airport Calls and Photos!

Tis the season…
But I’m pretty lucky – most of my family visiting ends up renting a car, so we don’t have to do an airport run. I’m up late, waiting to leave. My cousin is very lucky he made it out of Boston this morning. His afternoon flight was cancelled, but he [...]

Future Careers

No, I don’t ask the Kid.  He volunteers the information.  And I’d like it written somewhere, so I’m less likely to forget.
The potential future careers of the Kid:
Pilot who flies at night
Worker in a landfill driving a dumptruck
And I know I’ve already forgotten some earlier ideas.  I wonder why he doesn’t want to be a [...]

strawberry jam, lunch today, eggs!

I made jam and chocolate sauce for the Kid’s preschool/childcare teachers. Last day ever for him was Friday 9-7-07.  Jam is better described as sauce.  Tastes good!

I made lemon cake for the kids, by request from the Kid.  He said he didn’t like it so much.
I ate a good lunch today.  Peanut butter, melty dark [...]

Camera!

Catch up photo time!
Mom wanted to see what I came home with from the Knitting Basket sale.  To recap: Barbara Walker, Lady Gainford’s Designs for Knitting Kilt Hose and Knickerbocker Stockings, Kidsilk Haze, Colinette Jitterbug sock yarn, Koigu KPPM in a colour I’ve been coveting for months but leaving on the shelves, Habu natural dyed [...]
