alright this is harder than it looks...

who knew that with a busy schedule one just runs in circles forgetting that they joined a challenge!

LOL

Today I am just really working on cleaning out the overwhelming crud out of my office closet.

What doesn't get donated to charity will be recycled. Old printer and some computer parts that I don't even remember what I got them for will be donated to the local school. Other stuff will recycle. Either way it will not be taking up personal space in my office.

I suppose that I am going to declutter the house eventually. Part of down sizing and simplifying things. Taking care of the psychic pollution as well as making it easier to open that closet without ducking things falling on my head.

The picture is of a cold hardy rose in my front yard. Making a valiant attempt to bloom even after a couple weeks of cold nights and snow happening on and off. Last year it bloomed until almost the end of November. If it has nice days perhaps it will again.

365...

Okay, my friend Rebecca (Crazy Rebecca on Ravelry and Etsy) has challenged herself to post a picture daily for 365 days... or maybe it is 365 pictures. I don't know really. But ... doesn't it sound like fun!

What can I possibly do but take up that gauntlet and see if I can keep up.

So here goes for day one!

Using an older picture because I did not charge up my camera batteries.

This one is a picture of the flowering quince at the street end of my driveway... why... well, it has been cold and yucky for most of the week. Not today though, today is beautiful and it promises to be lovely for a few more days too!

Off to get that lecture taken and get my lab done. School can be a pain I think, but I like it.

something of intrest

I think this is facinating... it has nothing to do with what I am usually blogging about but I found it remarkable.

I am just not really with the...

rat race right now. I am unable to really make myself want to do anything. Someone told me that I am suffering from ecoanxiety and it seems to make sense.

I am unable to work on my cable luxe sweater right now as the pattern has me stumped.

The garden looks awful because we had early snow and lots of hail this summer.

I am still in school and struggling to make myself finish up, but I will get it done.

Trying to not let my house fall in on me. LOL

Going to be making an attempt to sell the quilts and other stuff to generate the cashish that I need to get the wolf to back off my door.

Peace

Rain is here!

The nights are cool enough now that we have trees that are putting on the colors of fall. That the maple trees have begun their color change before the last week in July was a bit strange. I am unable to post pictures right now as there is an issue of getting them off my camera. I am looking into getting a new camera because of it.

The garden is still plugging away. The chest band on the green Cable Luxe Tunic has been finished and the bottom of the sweater is under way. (but just barely as summer has me paying more attention to the yard than my knitting.) The neighbor kids are itching to go shopping for new clothes for school.

My daughter has relocated her family to accommodate work, which is not so happy for me, but great for my Mom and other family members. She has moved to the midwest and is closer to kin.

All in all though life is grand.

I think I need to have a long talk with myself..

about procrastination. Some of the lack of photos is simply that we haven't had a good sunny picture taking kind of day in awhile. I don't have interior lights that work. Maybe I will get them in the next couple of days.

There was one heck of a thunder storm this afternoon and some areas are in flash flood warnings.

Still the zuchini are happily setting fruit and flowers. The cukes are also flowering but I have seen no sign of fruiting yet.

Started two crochet rugs. One from a old dyed cotton sheet and another from t-shirts cut to yarn.

Chest band for the cable luxe tunic ...

is finished. Pictures on Saturday!
