Oooo, fuzzy!

Kato seems to really like the pink fuzzy blanket I am knitting...

So much for "Iron Mike Tyson."

Isn't it soft Kato?

Flemington Motor Vehicles

Oh the dreaded renewing of the drivers license.  I will never forget the horror of doing this in Brooklyn when I first learned to drive.  Today was an absolute joy.  Look at all those people ahead of me.  Heh, heh.  In AND out in ten minutes.  I must celebrate tonight!

Summer is so close to over I can't believe it.

      I still never perfected my peach martini.  Well, it isn't over yet is it?

2.5 oz peach vodka

.5 oz peach schnapps

2.5 oz organic peach nectar
a squeeze of fresh lemon

Put this all in a shaker with lots of ice and shake till chilled.

Strain into frozen cold martini glass.

Peachy.

monet's garden

Just in time for Autumn my Monet's Garden is finally finished.  I really love the feeling it is knit with watercolors.  It was an easy knit and a good way to use up all the yarn I got at Rhinebeck last year.  I'll get a lot of use out of it!

    

flutterbyes

My Uncle Artie said he never understood why the called butterflies by that name.  
"They're not made of butter and they're not flies!" 

 He feels they should be called 'flutterbyes'.... I agree.

  I knit this shawl in Cascade pima cotton. 

 It is bright and happy and beautiful!  

little deers...

I know people think they're a pain, but being a city girl I can't help but get excited when I see a deer or two on our property.  They always stare at me with those huge brown eyes, and I always smile and talk to them as if they could understand me.  Such little dears......

punkin' ale

I do love a good pumpkin ale.

That's all I have to say.
