Grass Porcupines!!
I wasn't really planning on posting again so quickly this week! I obviously haven't had time to do much new on the knitting end of things since I just posted yesterday. I did get the monkey socks started and got the ribbing and one pattern repeat done last night. Will post pics when it gets a little further along. Someone posted a comment yesterday that the lace work shows up better on light colorways and after doing it in the J.Knits grey & burgandy I can see that is probably the case! I just have more clothes in the darker shades that I can wear them with so I am going to keep on keeping on with the J.Knits!
Worked on the never-ending business plan about 5 1/2 hours yesterday. Funny how sitting in the same spot knitting is so relaxing.....but sitting in front of the computer and desk running numbers and creating tables and graphs is so exhausting! I was wiped out last night! I am really hoping that I can wrap the thing up this week and be ready to set an appointment with the banker. I really hope this hasn't been an excercise in futility....but I fear it might be. I have always heard that you have to have enough collateral to back a loan these days to get one.....and we just don't! All we can do is make sure we have our "ducks in a row", make the best presentation of our vision for the business and capitalize on our years of experience. Past that, I figure that it is in God's Hands! If that is what he wants us to do with our lives, it will happen regardless of what is typical in today's world!
I'm sure many are wondering about the "Title" of today's post "Grass Porcupines".....there is an everyday occurance around here when the first "pretty" days of spring-like weather show up. It is sorta funny....but then not, if you know what I mean! It never happens when it is cold outside and the grass is dead...only when it's nice and warm and the grass is still dead! I get to add an
activity to my every-day routine....running the vacuum...and here is why!
I love to keep the doors open this time of year...or at least I used to..lol! It's a catch-22 really. If I leave it open I don't have to play the "let-the-dogs-in, let-the-dogs-out" game, but I end up having to sweep the floors and furniture....a LOT! If I leave it closed I am up and down all day opening the door for the little toots and catching Cricket to brush the grass off before he comes back inside!
He is the main culprit of this crazy little phen
omenon....but yesterday he "taught" Stoneleigh how to do it, too! They both came to the door looking like grass porcupines....more than once!
Of course, Stoneleight waited until I had put the camera away before he "learned" this new trick so I didn't get any pics of him with his "new-do"!
There in lies my dilemma....do I play the "let-the-dogs-in, let-the-dogs-out" game or just keep the dog brush handy today?
