What a weird picture week! There are a couple of days with
too many pictures and a few days with just a token picture. It’s an appropriate
reflection of my life right now – crazy crazy crazy, chill, crazy crazy crazy,
chill…

Daddy & Sue took me out for birthday lunch after church.
(Yes, this is in addition to the lunch they brought to our house on my actual
birthday.) I thought they looked lovely in coordinating greens. Daddy is
wearing the hat I brought him from Austria way back in 1989.
My cousin’s daughter made this for me – I love it!
Bloomers from our yard – phlox & bougainvillea.
It was a perfect night for a fire.

This is what happens when you forget your drink in the
freezer for three hours. I wanted a slushy drink, but not one I needed to eat
with a spoon! Oops.

No cavities at my dentist
appointment – yay! He confirmed I need a root canal – boo!

It was mall walking Wednesday & the only picture I took
all day was to help me remember where I parked my car. Ha!

This is the 4th
pattern in the Moogly afghan crochet along, in my first colorway. I’m not so
sure that this pattern works as well with a solid color (see tomorrow’s pictures for
what it looks like in multiple colors).
However, I do like the effect of all four squares together.
I had my 6 month follow up
appointment with my surgeon. They make me wear these lovely gym shorts – ha! I
got a really good report – x-ray looks great & my range of motion is “fabulous.”

I put too much sweet pickle relish in
my tuna salad & this was my solution. Yum!
The first mow of the season!
Here is the square in my second
colorway – it’s easier to see why it’s called the Crocodile Dahlia square
(crocodile is the stitch used to make the petals).

Today I mowed the back yard. Note the bonus picture of Dr. M
scritching The Roy.
I am pretty pleased with myself – I reached my daily step
goal on 5 of the 7 days. Woo hoo!
Today was the beginning of daylight saving time and I am
both sleep-deprived & excited. I love DST! I’m not a morning person, so I
really appreciate that extra hour of light at the end of the day. What are your
thoughts on the matter?
That's a very fine proper Austrian-looking hat...I think my Dad had the same one. Well, not the same, but one just like it. Heh.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on a great checkup and on getting to your step goals for five days! And I'm in awe of your crochet skills.
My thoughts on DST? I like the extra daylight in the evening, but I really miss that hour sleep last night. The good people of Florida may not have to deal with switching again - they just passed a law to keep DST year-round. Now it just needs to be signed off by the federal government.
I'm in awe of your crochet skills.

I don't care whether the have DST or not. I just wish they would stop with the changing, already. It would make things so much simpler! And I loved seeing that photo of the across-the-fence skritch. I'm going to have to find myself someone to pet, now that Dixie's gone off to the happy hunting ground (or, the happy lay-around-and-be-petted ground, if she has a choice).
ReplyDeleteI wonder how many steps I take in a day. Just off the top of my head, I'd say probably 5-6K, but it would be interesting to know for sure. What I do know is that I've lost my appetite recently -- nothing wrong with that!
I think the white shows the stitch beautifully--very classy and pretty, like a dahlia.
ReplyDeleteI like DST. like you, not an early riser so, yeah, I like that extra hour at the end. and you already know my opinion of your two new afghans.
ReplyDeleteYou've given me a great idea about taking a photo to remind me where I parked. Ha!
ReplyDeleteLove the gift your cousin's daughter made for you. So sweet and inspiring. BB
