This photo makes me happy. Blue and White Dot, geranium, my spinning wheel, a comfy chair, and a little Saturday sunshine. Of course, there are things the photo doesn't show, which are fine, such as:
- Both cats (and their sisters) want to go outside but can't because Wilson and I are going up to the Farm in a few hours and we can't have the kitties running a muck while we're gone.
- The sunshine was only visible for about 60 seconds so far this morning. The high temperature yesterday was 61 degrees F. This is July?
- That's the same bobbin I started Tour de Fleece with--it is loaded up a bit more but the time allocated to spinning hasn't been too extensive.
Speaking of Tour de Fleece/Team Crankypants.........You know the Groucho Marx scene where the phrase "Doctor, it hurts when I do this!" and Groucho says, "Then don't do that!"? Well, I have to put my spindle on the sideline because I'm aggravating my shoulder and ribs somehow. I'm taking action to heal up but no spindling for a while. The wheel is still in action so I'm still cheering for Team Crankypants. Good thing this was a no-stress event. :D I am happy that I've been spinning more, and that's what counts.
Our trip up to the Farm is because Dr. E is there visiting our mom. He's only here for a short time so we're heading up this afternoon to say hello and meet with other family at the Roxie in Oshkosh for dinner. He's back from vacationing in Europe with his two sons and will be able to tell us more about running with the bulls in Pamplona, Spain ( o.O ) as well as the other fun stuff the three of them did.
The garden is coming along despite my absence.
Happy Saturday!
I can't wait for eggplant! :D
/ahem
Lovely photo. I wish I could send you some sunny HOT! weather because I really really would.
Of course, he ran with the bulls. He's Dr. E! *L*
I hope you have a wonderful visit!

Yeah, you can have the HOT! that is here too.
The kids weren't allowed out?!? I bet you they wouldn't get in too much trouble. They'd just be guarding everything.

Cold here today, too. Yesterday Mpls. set a record low high temperature, 62. Lowest high previously for that date was 66.

We're having a cool spell but it's lovely after our heat of the last month. I can get out and do stuff in the garden again without feeling like I'm in a steam bath. What a weird summer it's been.

Pfft. July is the new October. Hadn't you heard?
Hope you had a great Saturday!
