Sunday Night Photoblogging: Bring On The Random

I feel certain there was some coherent story I planned to tell here, or, well, something with coherence involved in some way, but, well, not so much. I had a laid back relaxing-through-cramps weekend, meaning not much was accomplished, and I seem to have lost some brain cells along with it. Making do with what I have, here are a bunch of photos, which won't make a narrative, but hopefully will tell some sort of tale. Maybe.

Yarn! I'm closing in on the end of the current pair of socks (started sock one in July and sock two in January, yikes), so I'm looking at what might be the next pair. So many possibilities!


This colorway is called Goody Goody (Socks That Rock Mediumweight), but I think Ice Cream Sherbet fits better.



I'm thinking of the Van Dyke Socks, from Wendy Johnson's Socks From the Toe Up. But I won't start them until I finish the current pair, and I reserve the right to change my mind.

I did start another project, though. It's another Meandering Vines shawl, slightly narrower than the first, and planning to make it shorter as well. And bonus, I'm using goosefairy's stitch markers! Fun! Pretty!


I was behind this car recently and when I saw the Got Issues? bumper sticker, I thought maybe it was political? But apparently not, judging by the website address below it. I'm not sure I "get" the connection; do you? Can you explain it to me?


Carlos continues to be photogenic:


Dive! Dive!


And he is letting Miri get closer, sometimes.


It's three more weeks at work, and yes, this is on the wall above my computer at work:


I saw the funniest tree today (in Rhode Island). Most of the blossoms were a creamy yellow just edged in red, but some of the branches had entirely red blooms. What gives? On the same tree?


Do you know what kind of flower this is? Anyone?


I feel like I should know, but I don't.


Of course, I am reliable when it comes to naming very few flowers. Roses, tulips, crocus, daffodils, lilac ... but beyond that is mostly flora incognita. Still, I bet you know! You're so smart that way!

And in conclusion, Go Bruins, Go Bruins! Game 3 is tomorrow night.

  1. Betsy got it before I did.

    What I think is sucky is being under the weather during the weekend (migraine, cramps, whatever) and then another Monday rolls in with nicer weather and back to work.

    humph!

  2. I think the bumper sticker might be a response to those "my child is an honor student" bumper stickers, but I'm not daring to go to the URL listed (if it is in fact real).

    Look at your countdown calendar! We have one for when the seniors leave for their internships.

    Those kittehs are just too fluffy-cute together.

  3. Yep - snapdragons. You can verify it here: http://cae2k.com/photos-rammstein-0/snapdragon-flower-pictures.html

    I went to the site - it's real, just a reaction to those "my kid is better than yours" people. And oh how I would like to dope slap those people.

    Nice calendar. And I love how Carlos is wooing Miri - if he wanted to be friends you know darn well she would not!

  4. I agree on the snapdragons. The tree with different colors of blossoms could be grafted to have two or more varieties of fruit on the same tree. I seem to recall ads for apple trees with several varieties and colors of fruit; a space saver and curiosity in one tree. LOL
