knitting

Have been addicted, or maybe the word should be obsessed with quilting and now all I want to do is to knit.  I have knit 3 afghans since late winter, early spring and now have this idea that I should knit socks.  Soooo  I am now knitting socks and becoming obsessed with socks.

What is wrong with me????

Just Another Week

I sit here and think of the things that have happened this week.  Another child has disappeared under explanations from the caregiver that makes NO sense.  What is happening with all the children that are disappearing and the parents are not being truthful????  And now all over the news is the firing of Penn state head football coach.  What are the students thinking-rioting over his termination??  What about why he was fired?  Did he do all he could to stop the child abuse????  It really bothers me that all these children are disappearing and the parents/caregivers are not willing to stand up and own up to what really happened.  Makes one wonder what our world has become.

wondering

We have had such a warm and well unusual fall.  Here it is the first week in November and we have bright sunshine and the temps are in the mid to upper 50's.  It is however a bit windy.  To top all this off all I want to do is to curl up under a quilt and well, quilt.  I really like to do this when it is cold and I can stay warm and go something constructive.  Just checked the forecast and I am seeing S_ _ w in the forecast.   Bummer!!!!!!!!!!!!

Warm Fall

So, I was talking with my brother, Bob the other day about the weather.  We have had exceptionally warm weather for the fall.  The leaves are almost all off the treees and yet the temps have been well above average.  So I asked Bob, if the weather a couple of years ago was just as warm.  I thought that it was warm enough for us to go the Mothers memorial service with short sleeved shirt.  And he too said that my recollections were correct and that it was a warm day.    Kinda makes me wonder, why did I just purchase a warm winter coat?? Why am I so anxious to put in another  quilt?    Why?????    Because I know that I will need the coat later and I want to be able to quilt when the weather finally changes and I will want to have a warm quilt on my lap.

Why?

Okay, so for the 9th straight day we will have 80 degree temps.  And it is October!  Does this REALLY make sense?   I would like to be able to sit down and be able to finally finish quilting on the quilt that I had started 1 1/2 years ago.  Have not already finished because I had gotten a little burned out when I had foot surgery and was off my feet for over a month.  I quilted a whole quilt and had started quilting on this one.  It is time for me to finish and get on to the next.

So back to the temps,  I like to have Indian summer but 80 degrees?  In October?  What will the winter be like? Snowy? Cold?  I do not like either one of those either.

summer

The summer started out warm but not too warm. July brought Hot and Humid, did I mention HOT and HUMID. Cooled down to normal in August.  I have been waiting for  a thunderstorm and had to wait for a long long time. there were thunderstorms, mostly severe but all around here.  wondering what the fall will bring.

hoping that the east coast does not get hit too bad with the hurricane

E-Readers

I have been researching e-readers and thinking do I really want one?  What would it be like not to feel the paper in a book?  Not to hold a book?  So I kept researching and talking to people.  Really like the idea that I can have 1000 books on this little reader!  Hmm.... So anyways I decided to get one.  I am thinking it is one of the best things that I have done lately.
