Sat Sky: Wish you were here

sat sky 2 20 2010

Another beautiful day at the lake.  It’s about 64 and sunny and wonderful.

Bet you can’t guess what I’m doing.

Cookie made me that out of Dave yarn that I used to help cushion the starter wheel bobbins.  Ask her about the other details.  She is a wonderful woman indeed.  It’s heavy and warm and wonderful.

Speaking of the wonderful Cookie and her mad knitting skillz, I wore the infamous honey bee for my divorce.  It matched my boots.

buds

And yes, those are buds on the trees.  Ahhhhh spring.

Happy Saturday y’all!

Saturday Sky – the return of the dawn

sat sky 026

I love the way the sun rises in the autumn and winter here. I am happy and thankful for this time of year. It’ll be even better once all those leaves go away.

While I was walking around yesterday, trying to find a sky picture I liked, I decided to take a different picture of the lake.  I’m always up on that deck looking down.  Later today, I may make a pile of leaves and lie in them and take more sky pictures.   Just because I can.

Happy Saturday y’all!

Trying to put the world back on it’s axis

sat sky 013

Since our Carrie couldn’t handle angry ‘roid girl and “sweetness and light” Cookie, I’m going to try to bring some Squish back up in here.  Lovely sky and leaves changing and all that.

I do have to say it may be the perfect autumn day.

I have chicken and dumplings on the stove cooking away and have found myself on the deck several times just getting some fresh air, reading, occasionally knitting a row or two and napping.

Whilst avoiding falling hickory nuts and bunches of acorns and listening to angry young cat squirrels.  I was thinking I might go all Vlad on the little bastids and set up little squirrel kabobs to keep the annoying things away.

Wait.  This is happy Squish today.  Sorry.

Look, more happy sky!

I will not think about what that lovely tree is currently dropping in the yard or the fact that the little man who was  doing stuff for me moved in with his little SoBap ho because his electric was turned off and it was too important for him to buy drugs than pay for his electric and is no longer around to do yard things for me.

Nope.  Not me.  Happy.  Squishy.  Fine.

Happy Saturday y’all!

Saturday Sky – who’s paying attention today anyway

angie point

If you see this woman, give her a big hug for me.

I was diligently looking for a nice Eye Candy picture when I hear a huge sucking sound and realized that it wasn’t the sound of life this time, but of 20,000 knit blogger being sucked out of the internetz and into the fun that is Rhinebeck.

Y’all have a good time, stay dry and warm and FFS, don’t sprain the credit card arms or go all deaf and shit from all the *squeee* – ing.
