Isn’t it supposed to go out like a Lamb?

This is what I woke up to this morning:

These two had the perfect response:

(I borrowed this quote from Bella Dia.)
It was one of those March days when the sun shines hot and the wind blows cold: when it is summer in the light, and winter in the shade. ~Charles Dickens
It describes perfectly what we found [...]

Its Been Awhile

Even I don’t know what’s been keeping me from blogging! Ravelry? Facebook? Actually reading books? (check out the new entries on my 2008 Reads page) All of the above with a virus that just kept hanging on has kept me from blogging - but I’m back.
I will have knitting related pics, news and wips coming [...]

Mean Kitty?

Afer the unusal happenings of the other week - a good friend sent me this video.

The very next day my Aunty brought [...]

Fini

I am so very sad. Two things were finished today. My PS2 Jaywalkers and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. (I will keep all book details on my 2007 Reads page so others can avoid spoilers)

Doesn’t Kira look like she has been Stupefied? That is pretty much how I am feeling to have reached the [...]

That’s the kind of day it’s been

                                                 
Well…if you were a key kat anyways!
I, like most people, was working today. I do have a nice job that lets me get outside and enjoy this kind of weather - so I got some work gardening done today. It is quite rewarding to work on the yard with the children. The weather [...]
