Sat…erm, I mean Sunday Sky

A week or so a go, I was whining about lamenting the fact that my wisteria had not yet shown any real signs of life. Thursday, I looked out my window as I was getting ready to leave and I saw these weird things hanging on my honeysuckle. I thought maybe they were a wasp nest or something funky (because we did have a wet winter). It took until Friday before I went outside and inspected.

They weren’t from the honeysuckle.

Oh yeah! It’s my wisteria.

Ooops. With sky.

The best part, they’re right outside my bedroom window. By right outside I mean “about 14 feet from the window and next to the fence”. Since I have a covered porch right outside my window.

I would love to say that I’m just cruising along on my Forest Canopy however I may or may not have cast on for another shawl and a top yesterday. *ahem*

I wanted love on my needles. (Gosh, that sounds dirty) So, Forest Canopy is being done with yarn that was a birthday present last year. The other shawl? The pattern and the yarn were from two different people, but they are SO appropriate for each other. Ms. “O.k. maybe I am a knitter” has no idea what she’s in for.

Have a beautiful Sunday y’all! I’m heading to Tehachipi today and I hear there’s snow falling in that thar mountain range today. :D Brrrrr. It’s going to be WAY colder than my town’s 75. Get ready for the weather changes Angie. It’s a little crazy!

sunday! SUNDAY! sunday!

Come to the fairgrounds to see the monster trucks!

*ahem*

I don’t know where that came from either. Remember, you have until today at 4 p.m. Pacific to enter the contest. Enter now and enter often. I’ll be announcing the winners sunday! SUNDAY! sunday!

Since it’s all blue skies out here (and sunny, oh! and in the 80’s) I was really struggling for a non-boring Saturday Sky picture.

OOOH! Easily distracted by the size of the ginormous hollyhock leaf. (that’s a dime on the leaf)

Clearly, I’ve lost my mind.

Have a great weekend – what ever it is you do or don’t celebrate! I’ll be thinking of you while I’m catching some rays!

Fire it up!


You Are Cinnamon Flavored Gum


You are daring, active, and a little outrageous.
You crave adventure and novelty. You like to mix things up.Your personality is extra spicy and larger than life.You love to have fun, and you are passionate about everything you do.You’re definitely a fiery person, and you don’t back down from a fight.Most people love your fire – but you can be a bit too intense at times!

YEEEEHAW ! I’m fiery!

Sometimes you just need a quiz. Thanks Cookie.

No fiber related creativity going on around here. Plenty of appointments, growth stuff and healthy creativity in the kitchen though! The best ever French Onion Soup was cooked yesterday (because it’s always better the next day) and I made Chicken Katsu with homemade katsu sauce and stir fried zucchini and squash with a bit of homemade teriyaki sauce. YUM! (Ok, I know. How healthy can fried chicken be? But it’s yummy! And all natural.)

I may have gone a little nutty in the produce section the other night. Funny what a new steamer and a wok can do for you. Tonight it’s baby bok choy with an orange sauce (homemade again) chicken stir fry.

I also think I’m in love with this guy. (there are two links there I swear) MMMMmm sticky chicken.

Yes, I tend to get all “Becky Home-Ecky” when I’m stressed or in a funk… why do you ask?

Saturday Sky – Cookie Style

sat sky wooly 006

Photo taken ala Cookie.  Except instead of in the back yard with just a squirrel watching, mine was in the front yard with the moms driving kids home from the bus stop. (Because GOD FORBID your child walks the three blocks home) I think that takes me one step closer to being the neighborhood spinster that the kids play tricks on at Halloween. Now I just need 12 more cats.

There’s also something funny growing with my flowers.

Saturday Sky – I Spy

I love looking for things in clouds. There is nothing like laying in the grass and watching them pass by. There really aren’t many days with clouds out here… more often than not it’s watching the loop-d-loops from the pilots practicing. Have a great Saturday!

Saturday Sky – Road Trip!

The sock and I went for a little drive to USC today.  (Look!  Sun!  Warm!) The drive down wasn’t bad, the drive back was hellacious and we shall never speak of it again.  However, the kind and benevolent doctor said I could have more PT.  WOO!

 We stopped here  for a little rest.  I did not succumb to the Swedish meatballs.  I did however end up scorching a credit card for these.

 I love Ikea.  With all of my heart.  I would date Ikea if I could.  This was my first time in one.  I ended up with two sheet sets, two duvet covers and a new comforter.  The sheets are freaking incredible.  Do not pass go, do not collect $200… go.buy.sheets.

 Something else may have flagged me down and jumped in my car.

This is part of why I don’t really mind living where I live. Go ahead and click, I’m finally using lightbox.

On tap today? A whole bunch of that icky growth stuff and a knitter’s meet-up. Yeah, someone is coming all the way to my itty-bitty town to sit and knit at the coffee shop. WOO!

Have a great Saturday!

Sat Sky

The moment when you first wake up in the morning is the most wonderful of the twenty-four hours. No matter how weary or dreary you may feel, you possess the certainty that, during the day that lies before you, absolutely anything may happen. ~ Monica Baldwin
