Sometimes I forget that I have a second camera. My children gave to me and it's a dandy, a Sony Cybershot. It takes really clear images and it's very portable. There were some nice shots in its memory that I'd forgotten to unload. Socks that were completed in June -
One of the last photos taken of our dearly departed Jack -
His sister, Bella-the-Terrible -
My sheep - the all-time favorite gift from Scott, hands down. Seriously. And the story behind the sheep is very entertaining as well. I promise to share it with you soon.
This is Pamela Tan - the best boss and friend that our office has ever had the good fortune to know. She left us too soon, but we understand. The forces that ushered her away are in for some bad karma. We love and miss her terribly. All the time!
The seasons are changing; fall is handing the baton over to winter. We are expecting snow this evening which means that I need to round up the outdoor plants and bring them in. There were turkeys on the front lawn this morning- a huge gaggle of them, perhaps 18 or 19 strong. I couldn't get to the camera in time.
Leaves - everywhere.
One final image of the gigantic castor bean plant before harvest. I've never seen one reach these proportions.
The final scallion and swiss chard -
Sauted in good olive oil with garlic slivers and sprinkled with balsamic vinegar ... YUM!
It was a good year for all of my peppers. I can honestly say that not one was wasted or left behind!
Here is the new - the first completed set of mitts for my coworker with the coldest hands - little "Butterbean".
Cupcake Mittlets. So sweet. I think that my friend likes them a lot. She's always cold - maybe she needs an eternity scarf to accompany her mitts. (I am always looking for a reason to try out a new yarn, a new pattern ...)
I like this simplistic lace design so well that I am trying out a design that will incorporate it. And the yarn - Miss Babs' DK is my newest favorite.

I bet little "Butterbean" loves your gift. What a good friend you are!
Snow tonight? I think you may be the fist of my blog pals to get snow this year. I have not checked our weather, but nobody at work mentioned snow, so I don't think we will get any. I am ready for it, and even looking forward to those first big fat snowflakes slowly falling to ground....it all sounds so romantic...........I bet I won't be saying that next April when it's still falling!
Hi Jody! I hope you are having a nice friday afternoon! Thanks for sharing your pics with us. Look at that Swiss chard, my goodness! Your mitts are so beautiful. I love that lacy design. I made a scarf a couple of years ago with the same pattern, using very soft ivory colored alpaca wool. It is one of my favorites. I'm still laughing about what you wrote on my blog about the sign "Dances With Woodchucks!"
I got the nickname "Dances With Yarn" from my friend Kim. My mother was half Cherokee and was born on a reservation in Oklahoma. When I told this to my friend, she asked if I had an Indian name? I laughed and said "Not that I know of." That's when she said from now on I would be called "Dances With Yarn".
Bless her heart, she even got me a t-shirt with the name and a picture of a ball of yarn and knitting needles. She then told other friends, and well the nick name just kind of stuck! :) Check back if you have a little time later, I added a few more pictures to the blog and wrote a little more about the Georgia cotton fields and how the cotton is harvested. Have a nice afternoon! Delisa :)
