Random Pictures

From my trip to visit mom... Sorry if some of these have been repeated.

These little birds were so funny! Their little legs moved so fast. Mom and I couldn't stop laughing at them...




Mom's friends sent her a set of plastic flamingos as a joke. She stuffed them in a closet where I found them, grabbed one and spent the rest of the week moving it around her garden. It's currently between two fountains in the pool. If she wants to get rid of it she either has to go into the pool or maneuver along the ledge and hope she doesn't fall in the pool.
I'm a great daughter.



Morning knitting with coffee


afternoon knitting with something that's not water.


Prime realestate, and I'm not talking about the yellow house.


mid-day knitting


I took two pictures of my husband on our trip. This is the first one.


Knitting a linen and cotton poncho for mom at the beach. Linen and Cotton fibers are perfect hot humid weather knitting because they don't get sticky.


I found this on our morning walk... of course I had to pick it up and bring it home.
I did crack it open. I'm sure it's part of the coconut family but when I hit it just right with the hammer I was doused with about a cup and a half of water inside it.


this tree is weird. The flowers are right up my alley and I think the way they bloom is the hard acorn looking part peels back to reveal the anenome like center... I'll have to study them closer next time, I don't know how long it takes this nut to crack.


We arrived in Florida on Saturday morning. It had been raining for almost a solid 2-3 weeks in Washington.
This was my first sunrise on Sunday morning.


Oh Sun, we had missed you so I almost didn't recognize you.



I took this picture at home but this is what I came home with from A Good Yarn Sarasota.

Bears Barn Owl. We had a hockey game last night and while I'm normally so wrapped up in the game that I don't have time to knit, that was not the case last night. Silvertips have had a rough go and the Red Deer Rebels really wolloped them last night. So I knit. I ate some dingleberries. Delicious. and I knit some more. I have a feeling I'll be finishing this bad boy up by tomorrow and he'll be the star of the retreat. Isn't his color wonderful?

Knitter Down...I Repeat, We Have a Knitter Down...

It's probably not that dramatic, well maybe it is, who can say for sure....but I can say this, right now from my elbow to my wrist is some gnarly pain that was flared last night after knitting 6 rows of the Shawl...SIX ROWS and then WHAMMO! so much pain. This isn't the first day I've had this, I've actually been ignoring for a few days ...okay, I've been ignoring it for a couple weeks but this is the worst it's been...So, I've made inquiries as to which doctor to see and am waiting to hear back to make an appointment...while I wait ice packs, and copious amounts of pain meds (don't worry by copius I really mean, recommended daily dose) are being taken with the shedding of a few tears while I fondle my knitting... stay tuned...this can't possibly last forever xoxoxo c. p.s. Fati...don't worry I have a plan if this whole wrist issues blows out of control...

The countdown...

The Elbow has taken things a little to far. After three cortisone shots, icing, and squeezing exercises, it's just not behaving... Tuesday I went into the MRI tube do the Doc H. Could get a good look at what's going on...wear and tear is what's going on and it's only getting worse.. I can keep getting shots of cortisone but eventually they'll stop being as effective. Surgery will be the best option. That's right. SURGERY Wanna know the worst part? Recovery can take up to five months Five Months 5 FIVE months of no knitting... . . . I'll give you a second to get up off the floor... . . . You read that again didn't you? . . . my friend MzKimba has graciously offered to take care of my stash. However I think I'll just pack it all up and store it somewhere safe till I get the all clear from Doc H. Now all this being said, I have projects that need to be completed, so I'm going to try and schedule the surgery for som
