Saturday Sky

Beautiful Day today! We've had such nice weather! Look at all the trees in bloom! Makes for a beautiful site but also a lot of sneezing ;-).
Seems a good year for Crows too.

Face mask and tamiflu required to read this entry!

When you can't visit Brisbane. Do all you can to not have this "Brisbane" visit you....that advice would probably include avoiding our household for the next few days while we disinfect. Anyway, I spent part of Friday, all Saturday and part of Sunday in bed with a high fever. Unavoidable for a number of reasons. I volunteer at school and have a 5 year old so I have constantly been coughed and sneezed on for the past 2-3 weeks. UGH. Plus this year the flu vaccine may not have made much of a difference, so the fact that I've gotten pretty darn sick from those in the past doesn't matter.

Unfortunately that means not much knitting was done in the recent past and since my major project is still the push to finish the afghan, progress isn't always that noticeable in pictures. I hope to be back at it soon though and do have a project I'll share when I'm feeling better. Take care all!

Yes We Can!

I'm not going to say what my choice is but I will say, It really seems we have much better choices in leaders than we've had in a long time. Maybe it's just my weariness of things that makes me want to believe this, but I'm hoping our country and world has a brighter future to look forward too. We have many challenges to face and need great leaders.

In a bit I'm off to Michaels to replace circular needles I think fell out of the car on a recent trip :-(. I want them TODAY to finish a project so have few choices where to get them. I'm REALLY hoping Michaels has them in stock!

Saturday Sky (I wish!)

This is actually from last night. Much nicer than today as it has been pretty windy and raining for most of the day. I also have the flu so didn't really feel like venturing or even looking out at the dark sky for a picture. Take care all!

Keep on knitting, knitting, knitting....

In Finding Nemo, Dori sings "Keep on swimming, swimming, swimming" Anyway, I'm a little over half way through the afghan now. You can see the color differences I talked about. At first I thought it was my mistake but it's not. I'm hoping it will even out when I wash it and it isn't this noticeable in person. I may add some Rit color remover a second wash if it ends up worse.

It is raining here in California and I have the flu bug that is going around our community. Because of that and the fact that the LOST premiere is on tonight I started a Tomten jacket for Esther (Garter stitch) from the leftover wool used for various fuzzy feet and hats. That way if it's to hard to pay attention to the plot and remember what happened last season (ages ago) I'll have something simple to work on.

Saturday Sky....posted a bit late

The weather was cloudy but much better than predicted this weekend (we thought there would be a lot of rain). I am at the 1/2 way point on the afghan I'm knitting. I'm still irked by the color difference but hopeful it will go away with a soak and washing when I'm done. I'll post pictures soon, maybe with Esther in it too, so you can see how big it is so far.
