could this ringing in my ears be the voice of reason?

with the greatest of ease, the daring middle aged young man on the flying trapeze.

Did I mention our pool sprung a leak?  Through the process of elimination, Boar determined that source of the leak was the housing of the underwater light. 

Our very own little Deep Throat scandal.

Do you see the contraption my Boar rigged up?  He needed to clean out the housing before beginning the fix and the pool water is freezing.  So the housing is caulked to within an inch of its life.  Now it has to ‘cure’ for seven days.

Hopefully the pool will be cured as well.  That Boar – not only hard working, but inventive too! 

In knitting news I cast on for a pair of baby booties to go along with the pumpkin hat.  These are a very old pattern that my grandmother wrote down at some point.  The cuff is Quaker stitch.

Even though this post is disjointed, I am going to click the save button — this morning is growing too hectic for blogging ….

Since I took such a teasing from she-who-shall-not-be-named over my Costco cheesecake, I thought a little Betty Crocker action was in order for our knitting get together last night.  On the left is a brownie-esque thing prior to baking and on the right is a pecan coffee cake.  The brownie-esque thing came from a recipe on the side of a box of cake mix, the coffee cake however is from scratch. 

We had a great time – Peggy, Kathleen and Joy brought their knitting and we had a lot of laughs.  I am working on the second Retro Rib sock.  I really should turn my attention back to Halycon once this sock is done.  not to mention my spinning ….

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend.  Mine will be filled with a Bar Mitzvah on Saturday and assisting in fixing our leaking pool (egads — it is always something) on Sunday – with some knitting thrown in for good measure!

Have you seen Cara’s cards?  The sheep photos she took at Maryland?  Well, mine arrived yesterday and to say they are lovely is an understatement.  These cards are so beautiful that mine will be framed.  It would not only be ridiculous, but a feeble attempt for me to take a picture of these cards …. suffice to say, they are the actual photos framed in card stock.

Do you have a bare wall?   Are you in need of some original artwork? 

Got Sheep?

go see Cara!
