Low tide was fast approaching, so they turned to go. And their engine died. After several minutes of to-ing and fro-ing and heated conversation, they sat down. Finally, after about fifteen minutes, they managed to get it started, but just barely. They crept out of the creek and into the river. I wonder what next week will bring.
Here’s my completed Mini Moochi set.
I am going to look so good this winter.
I really like the heel construction on these Labyrinth socks.
Possessed Demon cat?
I love this book. The directions are clear. It’s filled with wonderful ideas and illustrations. And the there are complete full sized patterns in the back. I am going to have so much fun!
I started the Labyrinth socks Sunday. They’re moving right along. I like mosaic patterns. They look difficult, but they’re fairly easy. You know blue is not my favorite color, but it’s a good sock color.
I have been trying to take a picture of Flo with her Skunky for weeks. I finally got one this evening. She runs around with it in her mouth. She sticks it in a corner when she eats. And she talks to it. As wild as she is, I think she would be a good mother. She’ll never get that chance. I got her from a ‘No Kill’ shelter. She’s been spayed and that’s fine with me. As far as I’m concerned, it’s the way to go. Look at these sweet faces. They deserve a long and happy life and we intend t give them one.

Poor Gus. He tries so hard, but they just won’t listen. It really wears him out. Doesn’t he know that cats just want to have fun?
And sleep.
My July socks came. As always, another great kit.
You can see how low the tide is by looking at the bulkhead. We laughed ourselves silly.
My recharger died on this thing. Doug ordered a new one, but I’ve all ready used up one battery. And I have some good pictures, too—- like the two idiots who tried to come up the creek at low tide. I’m sure they heard us laughing at them. I didn’t realize I had become so accustomed to this laptop.
I hadn’t done any mitered squares for long while. I forgot how much fun they were.
Zip has changed over the past few weeks. Don’t worry. It’s for the better. A couple of whole male cats had been coming around and marking . It really upset him. He hadn’t been himself snce Elvis , and now there are new little girls to watch over. He started staying out all night and the other males have stopped coming around. Zip is a lot happier and is enjoying being a new father.
Keeping Watch
I went further and added a little edge and one button. Are they too much?
See the little green diamond? I’ve all ready started a mitered hat. I hope I have enough yarn.
Loralie is having a sale so I indulged. I am going to have so much fun! I don’t know where to start.
Here’s Gus, waiting for his pills. He is so good. Even though he hates having pills shoved down his throat, he will come and sit in front of me and wait. And,of course he gets a treat when we’re through.
You don’t see this much in the summer.
I had my annual visit to the ophthalmologist this morning. My doctor retired recently so I tried the new guy. He seems a decent sort. He was efficient.
When I was four, my brother hit me in the eye with a slingshot. We wound up at Hopkins very late at night. I remember having a drop of blood rolling around my eye. It was making my mother sick so I tilted my head whenever she was looking at me. I developed a cataract from it. I’ll have to get it removed eventually. Barf.
I was thinking about getting red frames, but I got violet instead. My insurance allows me to get a free pair every year which is good because my prescription is always changing. And I like variety.
I stopped at Mernie’s on the way home and bought fresh corn and peaches. The corn was delicious. Doug ate four ears and I had two. It is so nice to be able to eat corn on the cob again. Which reminds me. I need to see the dentist soon. Cora tried to peel a peach, but she didn’t do a very good job. I told her to stick to purring.
When I got home, I couldn’t go out because my pupils were still dilated. So I sat down and FINALLY finished writing my hat pattern. I have been so lazy this summer, it is down right embarrassing.
