Hubby pulled the last of the veggies from the garden last weekend. He was not happy about the harvest, nor the entire growing season. We were fortunate in our area of Wisconsin to get a lot of rain last summer, but we never got flooded.But what we did get from the garden is has been canned and put up for the winter: 5 pints of carrots, 10 pints of parsnip, 8 bags of Brussels sprouts, 14 bags of sweet corn, and 2 liters of Kimchi/Sauerkraut.
On the needles lately is this The Entrelac stole that is made from Yarn Bee Chloe yarn from Hobby Lobby. They had a 30% off sale and the colorway that I chose was 'pick of the bunch' With that kind of large changes in color, it almost begs to be made into something Entrelac. So I cast on stitches, did 5 blocks of 10 stitches and started knitting. On size 6 needles, the project is going, albeit slowly.
We are coming up on the anniversary of this little buggers' entrance into the family. Zeus was a rescue from the Humane Society and he's about 10 years old...wait, now 11.
Like you've never seen before..........a talker.
And he's not afraid to complain... about anything. His habit at night is to sleep with his front paws and head on Daddy's arm that's outstretched onto 'his' pillow which is above my head.
One night, he was in his usual spot, stretched out and his back paw hit my hand. Well, apparently he was not into having my hand on his pillow, so he lets out a yowl and pulls his foot back, only to stretch out again a few minutes later, have his back paw hit my hand. He yowled like 3 times doing this, until I lifted my head and hollered back at him, "Well, YOU'RE the one who keeps putting your paw on my hand! SHUT UP about it!"
Should've gotten the girl cat. But he's family now and we accept family for who they are quirks and all.
