Finally a moment...

I can hardly believe it has been so long but hope that some photos will make up for it. This shot looks as if it should be in some exotic locale, but in fact was seen in the little lake (pond) area in the back of a trailer park. Shows that beauty can be found anywhere, eh?

These two were posing just like this and I had to stand on my brakes and back up (thankfully nobody behind me) to catch them. No fears, they stayed this way.

Yarn bombing day at the Mockingbird Cafe a little while ago. It was fun, but a hot morning! Nothing to compare with what we are experiencing now but hot enough to head to the shade every few minutes. The owner of the cafe was thrilled, hugged us all and gave us complimentary coffees, which we didn't expect but appreciated. The stair railing was adorned as well, and has held up pretty well despite rainy days.

A Hospital visit for Sophie, and playing with the camera app on my phone to get different color effects. Liked it. And Sophie got to go home the same day, so far everything is fine.

The cactus fruit was really beautiful in front of what used to be Los Tres Amigos but now is El Maguey in Bay St. Louis. They remodeled just after this was taken and uprooted this and planted it along the sides of the parking lot.

New construction along the beach front in Bay St. Louis, scandalous in that after finishing it they denied permission to use this to access the Beach!! Plans are surely in effect to remedy this, in the meantime its a great place to get a walk in, in the cool of the evening. (What cool?)

I'm trying to think what I've been working on. I finished Madli's shawl but gave it away before I could get some decent photos of it. I think I got one drying, I'll have to look for it. Working on a little dress for a six to eight week old neice, socks, of course and another petal shawlette out of a yarn I spun from Martie's Spin Art series from a few years ago. The 'orchid' yarn. Thinking of sewing a summer dress, and another apron. Hmmmm...
Hope all are well and keeping cool!

No rhyme or reason...

To my absence from these pages; here are some photos I have taken in the duration. I caught a glimpse of these babies a while ago, and had to stand on my brakes to get this shot as it was the first time they were so close to the road. So-oooh! cute!

Not sure if these every which way lines are leftover from Katrina's destruction or before; it was a beautiful day and the light was amazing, my phone- photo doesn't do it justice.

And, yes, that little orange dot is the moon rising as I headed home one evening. Talk about not doing it justice! It seemed enourmous to my eye and the color was beautifully reflecting the sunset behind me.

Like many, I imagine, I've just been doing what the days call for, trying to keep up with my routine, not much time for knitting (took me two months to finish a pair of socks, aughh!). Now I am trying to sew some simple cafe curtains for a friend's new kitchen/ dining room; started another pair of socks, and have until the 24th of March to finish a shawl I started (?) a long time ago. Gave myself a deadline, hope it helps.
