I know there is a whole lot of knittin’goin’on out there, but when surfing slogging (at 16.8) around blogland, it seems like there’s a whole lot more of midsummer knittin’ blues. In short, the heat has got us down. It’s time to take action, grab your projects and take them somewhere new. Meet up at a new air conditioned café, take the ski lift to the top of the mountain (that’s what I want to do, anyone?) or as a number of my lil’ Rhody friends are planning, take a morning champagne breakfast knitting cruise. That ought to lift them out of the doldrums. I plan on putting my wheel on the raft later today, and float around the pond spinning. There is at least another large bobbin of plying to do. I haven’t decided if I’ll take my ipod and listen to my current book, or just listen to the frogs and pond sounds (fish, bugs..).
Monday is my second blogiversary (blogversary, blog.a.versary?). Two whole years, seems like forever and seems like yesterday. I’m going to search back and see what it was I was working on then. More on that, Monday.
Oh, thank you phone guy… he tripped over something; a stump, maybe the wire, something.. this is the way he told it, and there in front of his face was the new break in the line. It was broken clear through the waterproof coating, through the shield, and the two inner wires were exposed to the weather, rubbing against one another. So, I got a new piece of wire. It’s still on the ground, but it’s new and I’m back in business. He also gave me a can of mace. After seeing all the line damage, he asked what I was carrying while I was working in the field and woods. When I told him I just sing, he screwed up his face, said he hoped I was a really bad singer, and handed me his can with instructions to aim for the eyes and nose. Nice guy, the phone guy..
On another note, NPR says Carly Simon is 60. Imagine that.
‘big red spider’

Carly is 60…wow…time does pass! Tell me about this Red Spider…I love it!!!!
That surprised me this morning, too! Going to the ski resorts is a perfect way to stay cool. Enjoy your pond spinning!
If I could get time off from work, I would SO be there at the top of the lift with you. Love the spider. Probably my favorite form.
Yeah. When you told me you sing while picking berries in the dark to let the bears know where you are…..I kind of thought about myself, Miss They Won’t Hurt Me Because I Won’t Hurt Them 2005. Sort of like Siegfried and Roy, ya know? Maybe not too smart. And this weekend, my BIL said that bears are vegetarian and I looked at him like, “Oh, REALLY?” Coulda fooled me. He grew up in Boston and lives in Ohio — WTF does HE know?????
Carly 60…hmm, that is thought provoking information now isn’t it…it is clearly impossible I say, because ofcourse I remember when and I was there, then…Boy, I have an empty nest and now this…Hey Judy, happy spinning around the pond.
