saturday morning, (but it's really friday night......don't tell ok?)

we have to get chicken feed, budgie feed and cat food............
and a bale of hay for bedding (plus shavings) this is going to be expensive.
i am hoping to get another bed in the garden
and to pick up the storm door for the front
i'm not sure how much we'll get done....meanwhile new yarn is calling my name
i would love to cast on a new shawl
ahem.......not that i look good in a shawl mind.......
but i do so love to knit them
however right now i have that hat on the needles and i think i should do something simple then get back to a larger lace project

i have to tell you guys, i am having some fears for getting my garden in.
with the weather having been so iffy
and my seed starting area gone, my few pathetic seedlings are not looking good
i may have to buy a few plants
maybe that is a good thing?
i doubt it though
the garden has been on my mind
a lot of stuff is on my mind
henrietta ........and what do i do with her?
bernie's physical.....
the nation and the economy ( hey i am an equal opportunity worrier)
some of my friends who haven't been doing as well as i would wish for them

gees
i worry too much

ok right now i am waiting for bernie to get down from his shower
i think i need him to do math for me
i need a % figured for this hat i'm knitting
i had to increase the cast on stitches and ribbing to like 136 or maybe 138 *ok, ok, i'll actually count them but it's around that***
and now i have short rows to do...... but the short rows are based on 104
and so i need it figured
i think it's actually algebra
which i was never any good at anyway....WHY ON EARTH did they let me take algebra in highschool anyway....i so suck at math (college prep made me take algebra that why)

i got to speak to my mother in law again.....after two weeks of not talking to her due to me forgetting
(and not wanting to be frustrated by the assisted living staff)
she's ok, doing well
but i think more forgetful today

bernie called his one sister in ky to see if she was ok with the weather...... i told him she wouldn't pick up which was true, but she did call him back later..........she's fine and so is the rest of the ky family

i would like to see if i can pick up more beads for stitch markers, i had such a blast doing them. maybe some very brightly colored magenta and such? hahahahahahaha
i loves me some BRIGHT colors.

also will you folks nag me a bit please?
i need to get back to drawing but for some reason.........i'm not!
i don't know why
maybe if you all nag me a bit i will?

now that's it for right now, if i have more stuff to say i'll report back but right now i figured i would let you folks know i didn't forget
have a wonderful weekend
stay safe

    Don't worry about not drawing. When the creative spirit is there, you won't be able to stop. Enjoy your knitting now. Love that shawl you made.

  2. Also don't worry too much about your garden. It's early yet, believe it or not.

  3. That's sad news about your garden. Our lack of rain is making gardening difficult enough, but we have deer again and they really love all the free organic produce we give them.
