I’m insane…

I don’t want to make husband socks… but alas, the yarn colourway I covet to contrast husbands black boiled wool coat… may not show up until the fall. I am NOT taking that kind of chance… so socks in coffee/chocolate colours it is.

Cripes, that is a lot of knitting…. yikes.

I blame the supreme sock goddess… this is all her fault!

photo note for blindmama… yarn, yarn, yarn, more yarn and some needles, a few needle covers… y’know, yarn stuff that was on sale.

in other news our Manitoba cactus is … blooming! holy heck! it is gorgeous!

ignore the weeding I plan on doing while incredibly annoying neighbour is at work tomorrow… because yeah, I do put my kids to bed before the sun sets… for some reason I’m not telling you to do the same for yours… why is that? oh yeah, I’m not feeling up to slamming your parenting in a loud voice like you do to me.

thats it,

isn’t it?

G’night people. I’m sending the mother bird home tomorrow. Back to just the three of us until next week. And lots of knitting. Oh so much knitting!

during the chaos… and after.

A hasty retreat of pretty much EVERYTHING on the shelves.

Then the purge and recycle the cardboard boxes end result.

Yes, those are the blue box recycling containers in our bathroom… I decided that bringing them in, and risking the kids getting in to them was better than combing the yard and the neighbourhood  for the contents with the wind the way it was last night.  Totally worth the risk.

gravity… it sucks.

Upon hearing a thump earlier… husband and I just assumed it was the last bit of snow coming off the roof.

Little did we know….

One of the shelves in our pantry had let go.

I’ve been thinking about emptying the pantry…  and here was my opportunity.

of course midsized boy HAD to help….

So, pantry is clean and now stable…

Dear Canadian Prairie weather… please stop causing my home to shift back and forth like this.
