The challenge photo topic for today--Day 29--is the moon. Since we're currently being battered by Sandy, I don't think I'll be able to do that one!

Day 14: Something that makes me laugh

 

I found this silly greeting card years ago and laughed so much I had to buy it for myself. It still makes me laugh.

An Addition to Replace a Subtraction

  

We got a new tree today! When the utility company cut down our venerable but half-dead maple several months ago to make room for their street work, I was upset. But they promised to give us a new one when the work was finished.

 

As time passed and the work took forever to get done, I became skeptical; I thought they’d forget about it and I’d have to make phone calls and wait and hope they’d eventually get around to it. But yesterday I found a spot on our curbside grass dug up, and this morning there it was--our new tree!

 

Of course it’s a far cry from the old maple that I used to be able to see from our bedroom window, but it’s going to be fun to watch it grow over the years.

 

Sometimes companies actually do keep their promises.

October Photo a Day Challenge: Days 1 and 2

 

I’ve decided to try to do the photo a day challenge for October. I may not get all thirty-one, but I’ll try! It sounds like fun. Anybody else want to join?

 

Here are days 1 and 2:

Day 1: A photo of where you stood when taking the picture

On my stairs.

 

 

 

 

Day 2: A photo of your lunch.

 

 

Half of a bean and vegetable burrito, brought home from a restaurant a few days earlier. (It tasted much better than it looks here.) With a cup of green tea.

 

 

Crochet Fever Comes Back

Crochet Fever Comes Back

 

The cooler weather has rekindled (pun intended) my crochet passion. I’ve been going at it like a demon lately.

 

These photos are for Work in Progress Wednesday:

 

 

I’m finally learning how to make granny squares! Two more rounds of color to go on this one: orange and red. This is made with Lily Sugar 'n' Cream.

 

It’ll be about 18 inches, so I’m not sure yet where I’ll put it, but I love working with the different colors.

 

 

 

 

These are two pieces of a vest I started last winter and just got back to. The yarn is a beautiful, soft merino from Manos del Uruguay.

 

 

 

I just bought this lovely gray yarn to start a shawl.

 

I'm also still participating in my church's prayer shawl ministry. And there will be more to come--I'm into it now!
