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.

Is this wrong?

On a semi-recent trip,

I took a flight from the Moline airport.

They have a little art gallery to browse before braving the security line.

And this was there.

Yes, this IS a rabbit giving birth.

I thought it was quite kid appropriate.

Stuff'd!

When one has leftovers,

its is quite fun to think of creative ways to put them

all together

in an appetizing manner.

If I recall, this potato was quite scrumptious.
