    Ruffle scarf and rainy days

    May 24, 2012 - By 
    I finally got a half way decent picture taken of my latest scarf.
     It’s so dark and dreary that my usual photo op spots just wouldn’t work.
    We are definitely out of the drought…
    I dumped 4.2 inches out of our rain gauge this morning…and it’s raining again.
    I’ve started on a blue one for Little J. I was surprised at her choice of color…usually she’s all about the bright and wild colors. Her newest thing is to wear two different colored socks. I’m glad she marches to the beat of her own drummer!! I’m like that now but definitely wasn’t as a kid.

    Soup for Tea Tuesday

    May 22, 2012 - By 

     

    After working out this morning I was hungry. I didn’t want to completely ruin my workout by having a lot to eat.  I made my favorite quick go-to light meal these days.
    Miso soup with tofu. I found this great instant miso. Just 1 TBSP to 1 cup of water. I add some chunks of tofu and it’s good to go.

     

     

    No, I’m not going vegetarian…. I just really enjoy miso with tofu.
    I had my soup then went to knitting where I finished another scarf!
    I’ll take pictures and share tomorrow.
    I need to get outside and plant the rest of my flowers.
    Plus stop by Kimmies and see what my friends are up to today.
    What’s keeping you busy today?

    Meet Gracie…

    May 21, 2012 - By 

     

    We adopted her yesterday.
    All we planned to do on Saturday was pick up some more fish for the tank and we ended up applying to adopt a cat.
    Crazy how things work sometimes.
    She’s almost 2 yrs old. She had the name Grace but we thought Gracie sounded a bit cuter.

     

    Both myself and J have cat allergies but only to certain cats.
    We had J pet the cat then rub his hands on his face. In the past, if he’s allergic, he’d start sneezing and getting itchy eyes almost immediately.
    No reaction.
    I also didn’t have any reaction.
    It was meant to be.
    She has very pretty markings.

     

    This is what she’s been doing most of today…
    basking in the sun, watching the birds and bugs fly around.
    Pretty simple life…
    The really strange thing was, in the adjoining cages there were cats named Halle and Tika….not very common names!! I have a cousin named Tika. It would have been just to strange to take that pair home…plus if they were anything like Tika and I, they’d have gotten into a lot of mischief. 🙂
