Catching up

1. I am home from all my travels.

2. The weather is still crazy here.  It cooled down to a bearable temperature.  And then the roses started blooming!!

And they're still blooming!?

3. I finished the hat to match the Big Apple Mitts.

I liked the way this hat turned out so I now have to knit one for myself. lol.  I think I'll use red and black for mine.

4. Not a lot of knitting, reading, or blogging has been done in the past two weeks.  I will try to do better.

Welcome December!!  Hope everyone is not stressing too much trying to get all their gift knitting done.  I've already decided not to stress out.  I just won't get everything done.  But I'm ok with that decision.  It just means I'll have a head start on next years gifts!

Beautiful day!

Our roses smell heavenly! I always have a few fresh cut roses on the counter during spring when they are all in bloom.

Hope you have a beautiful week and take time to stop and smell the beautiful roses.

To My Valentine

Roses are Red

Violets are Blue

And I love you!!  



Corny, I know. No excuse. I couldn't find St. Valentine (he must be very busy this time of year) to have him hand deliver my card professing my undying love for you.

...I love thee with the breath, smiles, tears of all my life!...

Chopped

Ellie had her hair cut this week

The rose bushes had their "haircut" today

And I get my haircut next week.  It's a cycle... it'll all start over again. I'd let my hair grow long except it's so dang hot here

Ellie agrees, it's HOT!

coming up roses...

Have a "rosy" day!!
