I haven’t posted much about my knitting lately, but that doesn’t mean the needles haven’t been out. In fact I’ve sort of developed an addiction that is often triggered simply by sitting in front of the television. I can’t watch TV any more without my knitting in my hands. I guess that’s a lot better than not being able to watch TV without a two pound bag of M&Ms in my hands, right? [Click title to read post ...]

If you join us, and [Click title to read post ...] I’m sure most people, even those who purchase gifts for their pets during the holidays, probably don’t consider the animals as actually understanding Christmas. Oh, sure, they recognize the changes, notice and even remember things like decorations and trees. Some may even feel the animals remember that there is going to be a stocking in the lineup with dog or cat treats and toys in it. How much, though, do the pets really understand? How much do they “get” about this strange annual tradition their family celebrates? [Click title to read post ...] Now, I don’t totally dislike the snow. Don’t misunderstand me. A new snow is so beautiful, peaceful, pristine. The fact that this one fell on October 27th, and I had to drive to Cobleskill to get my son to his evening college class in it, though, wasn’t the most peaceful or beautiful moment. [Click title to read post ...] I confess. I’m the world’s laziest knitter. No, seriously. When I learn to do something new, I start scouting around for easier, faster methods and will finally settle on the one that gets the job done fastest and with the least amount of work or brain-power.

I haven’t been able to get back down to the old house too often, to see what is still blooming down there, and very little of that yard can be seen from this one. [Click title to read post ...] My new laptop arrived yesterday. It was a tough decision to make, as (1) I’m very attached to my old desktop and (2) funds for major investments are a bit scarce right now. (1) Since sometime around 2003 I’ve been using a very basic E-machines desktop. I think I paid all of three hundred for [Click title to read post ...] …this post begins with that very brief update, as well as a huge thank you to all the friends who’ve been so supportive, and have sent healing and prayers each in their own wonderful way. [Click title to read post ...] The weather has cooled just a bit, making life much more pleasant. I’ve been catching up on the things that have been set aside, and thought I would include a blog post, share some minor news, and post a few pretty pictures of (mostly) the garden.
