Knitting! Plus some gardening, cocktails, and whatever else strikes my fancy.
Last March I started knitting my dark grey Donegal tweed yarn into a simple pullover, and then the weather got pretty warm, so I put it away. Then during the hottest part of July, I ran into a decision-requiring situation with my attempt at the …
First, a heartfelt thank you to everyone who left a comment about Rippy. My family was very touched; many comments brought tears to their eyes. My brother was glad to see that so many other people had had cats live so long and that became …

First, a Bunny update. Maxine, the bunny, has gone to a foster home. I found her owners, which is how I learned her name was Maxine. The owner had seen our sign, but she wasn’t planning on contacting us. She was moving her family that …
