> katsi cook speaking at live earth about women's health and the environment. (you will enjoy the irony of the fact that live earth is sponsored by a company that makes gas-guzzling trucks, i think).
> red tomatoes. the heirloom paste tomatoes in our garden are just starting to ripen. i can't wait to start making tomato sauce!
> shari's home-made popsicles (or ice-lollies, if you prefer)
> nichola's new zine, mixtape. it's on paper! real live old-fashioned paper! i can't wait til it comes out in august.
> denise's never-ending parade of beautiful, lovingly-crafted orphan socks. will they ever find their soul mates? oh wait - she finished a pair!
> amisha's travel photos. the doors in particular are my favorites - i love the allure of possibility and new discoveries in a doorway.

> sock yarn. i'm not usually so yarn-spendy, but i can't get enough sock yarn lately. socks are about the only thing i can fathom carrying around with me to knit these days. and despite the fact that it's really not rocket science, i continue to be amazed by the wizardry of self-striping.
...So what's got you smiling?
at the risk of appearing to be rather whore-like...check out my latest blog post to see what's got me smiling from ear to ear today....

i am smiling and oh-so-proud because indiana (the dog) has no fleas yet, and has not yet had any sort of toxic treatment this year. ::::knocking on wood:::: i've been flea combing her every coupla days, and every once in a while i'll get one, but they're few and far between. i'm not sure if that's what's making the difference, or if we've just been lucky, but it's pretty awesome. yay for the toxic-free dog!
ReplyDeletealso, yay for popsicles and travel pictures. mmmmm.
Your tomatoes! I have wee little pea sized green things so far.
ReplyDeleteThe other thing that has me smiling is sleeping children and no need to help with homework! Love the summer!
popsicles ? iced lollies??
ReplyDeleteHere in OZ we call 'em icy poles
Considering we supposedly all speak English, you have to love the differences. That's one of the things that keeps me smiling :]
