Crochet Me Crazy

Cooking and sitting here by myself today. Alison is at the river where she met up with some kids she had met at the river back in May. They are back camping at the state park again. It's beautiful and quiet here during the week except for a few families here and there. Michael is unloading hay at the stables yesterday and today. It's a big job when that hay comes in.

Not working today but Alison and I went down to the stables this morning for about an hour or so. We took horses out of the pin one at a time and let them munch down on the high, green grass growing up around the place. What a waste to mow that beautiful green grass when one of God's creatures could mow it for you! Anyway, I came back home because I wanted to have time to get some dinner cooked tonight. I didn't work yesterday but I went to the stables yesterday to borrow the washing machine so I helped with the two big rides that went out late yesterday afternoon. We got home late and it was just too late to cook so we scrounged around for food and ate Ramon Noodles and Frito Pie. I hate doing that. I really feel better about myself when I have meals for my family. I can't do everything though. We will have dinner tonight though...I'm cooking the bacon for the Spaghetti and Tomatoes right now.

An amazing thing happened this week...I actually had time to crochet a little bit here and there! I made this scarf!


It's such a novel and cute idea! When I saw this pattern, I immediately thought of the ugly green colored yarn that I picked up at the local thrift store for 25 cents. You know...some of that ancient yarn in some hideous color that a grandma had been hanging onto forever. Well, I can't even resist that, and sure enough this was the perfect color for this project.
