Full moon on the rise

Tonight I came home with fresh tomatoes.

There are no photos to prove it, but I am feeling quite

accomplished after having made spaghetti sauce with

fresh tomatoes and fresh basil.

Oh, and lets not forget fresh garlic.

What can I say?

I was hungry.

It was delicious.

My next order of business?

Doing a sinkload of dishes.

When they're done, that's also something that makes me

feel accomplished.

Lets not talk about how I feel when they're piled up.

And up.

and up.

I've had this idea that I need to start knitting a sweater

for quite some time.

And now...the yarn for it is wound up in

conveniently useable

center-pull balls.

Since my evening is full of excitement

and I've been neglecting my blog

I thought I'd share.

And....no post of mine feels quite complete without

a photo.

So, I'll leave you with this evening's sky show.

Internet obsession

Oh where, oh where have I been?
Certainly not off the internet. Oh no.

I've been exploring the glories of time travel.
On...Gardens of Time. Its bad.

And feeding my knit addiction.
On...Ravelry. Its quite lovely.

I do have posts planned.
They will be forthcoming.
When this obsession is under control.

Bad kitty? Or not?

Nah.

She's not being bad.

We made her a yarn nest.

And she had fun frolicking in it.

And we had fun encouraging her to tangle it up as much as she wanted.

And we hope she doesn't take to

doing this with the good yarn.

What's been keeping me home.

I don't know how many of you would believe me

if I told you that I had to take my garden from

something looking like this....

To something looking like this.

(Please note the far background of this photo.

Yes, the overgrown-ness IS in the neighbor's yard.)

BUT, it felt like that's what the gardens all looked like

when I got back from my most recent trip.

So, I've been on a self-imposed stay home penalty

until the gardens got cleaned up.

And guess what?

My goal has been realized.

Hurrah!

For an old friend and her babe.

I told a friend of mine

that I wanted to knit something

for her daughter.

She pretty much gave me free reign.

So, this went out this month.

I can't wait to see what she thinks!

Chiiiiirp.

Ever had one of these guys outside your window

catching bugs...

while you're trying to go to sleep?

Lemme tell you, their vocals are quite audible.

Dewdrop

Remember?

Way back in May, when we were wondering

if all the plants were going to get frosted...

so we'd go out every night and cover them.

And again every morning to uncover.

And we'd see things like this.

Aaaah.
