I Got Out of Bed Why?
Only I could:
Lock myself out of my car;
With the car running;
With my house locked;
With my house keys inside the car;
With no cell phone (which I don’t have anyway);
With no emergency key outside the house because I didn’t put it back the last time I used it;
With the phone number to my roadside service in my purse, which was inside the car;
On a day when K, who has the extra car key, was at a meeting so I couldn’t reach her;
In the morning, when all the neighbors within a five-mile radius were at work;
On a rainy day;
In the House That Jack Built.
Yup, that was the start to my day. How was yours?
Knitting Knews – The Moose Hat Saga Continues
Apparently the moose hat is now being worn by a penguin. Go figure.
And now I have to take back everything I said about my co-worker’s not reimbursing me for the yarn to knit the moose hat. To her credit, when I gave her the hat, she did offer to pony up. But because I didn’t really care, and the $2.00 I spent so didn’t break the bank, I said ne’mind and said I probably only used up 10 cents worth of the yarn anyway. Well, today she dutifully appeared in my office with 10 cents! And her S.O. has offered to bake me a berry pie when the wild berries are ripe, bless his moose-lovin' little heart. It's time for me to just hush my mouth.
Dye Garden Dyegest — A Small Triumph!
I am pleased to present to you our very first dye garden flower. Is this marigold a beaut, or what? (How am I possibly going to pick these beautiful things and boil the crap out of them when the times comes? It's starting to feel like pig-slaughtering day...)
K, thank you for taking such a beautiful photo.
To spruce up our dye garden, we ordered this beautiful birdbath from Gardener’s Supply Company. Through the miracle of on-line UPS tracking, I know it’s supposed to arrive tomorrow. A lovely thing, non?
