oh, Saaaaaaannnnnnnnddddraaaaaaaaa...
I hope you got into as much trouble as I did...
but I digress...
when last we spoke, we had suffered much at the hands of Mother Nature, and I was rescuing baby birds and righting tossed nests...
well, the robins had a 66% survival rate, for which we were very thankful. We found one of the little guys hopping around the yard - well, actually, Charlie found him - I saw Charlie sitting erect and completely still, paws outstretched. When I called him, he turned his head very, very slowly - like horror film slowly - and then turned back just as slowly - something moved, and he got up, tiptoed (I kid you not - my 100 pound dog was tiptoeing) and stretched his paws out on either side of whatever it was.
I couldn't get a picture of him protecting it, but this is what it was:
It eventually flew away, leaving poor Charlie bereft (empty nest syndrome for a male dog - go figure) - we think he needs a kitten.
The cardinals have, I believe, flown the coop as well, but I did get in there for a little peek
and in spite of the HUGE thunderstorms and hail we've been experiencing recently
uh huh, hail - 
, Buddha is much happier with the weather these days
In knitting news, there has been some stash enhancing going on... just a bit, really...
Jenn of Woolgirl fame makes everything seem like a present, like a special occasion - it almost seems wrong to unwrap something so thoughtfully, so artfully put together. But then you do and you find this
samplings from the Unique Sheep, including another set of graduated colours to make more of these
.There has been the Art Walk Sock Yarn Club to enjoy (really, I see this as culturally enhancing more than stash enhancing - it's like going to a museum in the comfort of your own home)
There have been other interesting things going on - attempts at resuscitation followed by reckless abandonment and new loves...
but that can wait till next time...

ahhh! no fair! I'm still waiting for mine! I want it NOW! Damn Canada Post...
We're going to have to meet up for a weaving get-together.
And I love the cultural enhancement of yarn - stunning, really.
No worries - I can't do any serious playing with it until school lets out next week... but I cannot have something in front of me to build and leave it alone, so I had to do that much...
and I think a weaving get-together would be fabulous -
You really do need to get your pup a baby - that is too precious.
I wish I could squeeze him!
Weaving? Cannot wait to see that!
Congrats on the Loom... you are going to love weaving. It's so much fun to plan a project for what seems forever than finish it up in no time flat.
wowza...weaving! how fun. That will fit nicely in your back knittin room...
Nice that Charlie was so protective. Bandit scooped one up in his mouth last year and it died from the shock. Then the robins dive bombed him and well, I can't blame em.
