Quite certain we have the prettiest gutter in the universe today.

Won’t last long.

But for now…

I’ll take it.

No Stopping Me

100 Happy Days #36

001

I know what you’re thinking. No, I do. But don’t say it.

You’re thinking, wait…didn’t she already show us this lovely, beautiful, amazing, magnamonious–yeah, made that one up– fabulous baby shawl…like before?

003

The answer is, no, I did NOT show it to you before…

I showed it to you twice before.

Yeah, I think I’m funny.

004

But as I told you last time—mint, and the time before that–white

this is a fabulously addictive pattern. You simply need to know this utter joy.

And if you don’t crochet– gasp!

you should.

They’re calling it a once in a lifetime chance to see the moon this way. It’s totally up there in the sky completely orange. It’s beautiful, but alas…

this is as good as my camera would do.

What a great planet.

That one…

and this.

The Dude

100 Happy Days #34

014This old cat–

~that wakes me up at 3 am because he wants something different to eat…

~that still thinks he can beat up great big dogs, like he used to…

~that once caught a fly in mid air by slapping his two paws together…

~that is on a owner imposed diet of 100% meat…

~that is back to weighing over 10 pounds…

~that has a thicker, shiney-er coat than he’s ever had in his life…

~that has survived four deadly infections, a near-completely severed tail, bone cancer and multiple b-b-shots…

~that has no idea he is missing a back leg…

~that has moved with us 5 different times…

~that likes to lay by my feet…no matter where I am sitting…

~that has front claws like grappling hooks which he uses to jump on my bed and which will easily go through your toenail if you happen to get in his way…

~that is three times older than my oldest grandchild and 3 years younger than my grown up son…

makes me very happy–except for the toenail part–indeed.
