404 File Not Found
It has been a good year for me, mostly and so far. I'm healthy and closer to sane than not. My agoraphobia and the hermit tendencies are acting up. I hate to leave home and I don't want to interact with anyone in the flesh. But I am not depressed or wondering why the fuck life is worth living.
I have been reading a variety of Frugal, Cleaning, and Green websites. Because of that, I am on another clutter busting binge. Four trash bags have gone to Goodwill/Salvation Army.* Today, for the first time in at least 3 years, I cleaned the inside of the fridgidaire. It was grimy and icky, and the crisper area was the worst. So I spent an hour cleaning and tossing and now I feel so much better. I think this is all a control issue. I can control the condition of the fridge even if I can't control things in my life or the world.
*Yes, I could try to sell the stuff but I feel better about just giving it all away. And it is easier.
I am also getting that pair of socks done. One afterthought heel to go. Still have not blocked the purple shawl.
Bunny Pictures!
Two Amy babies.
Baby Harriet.
A wonderful thrift store find for Sweetie.

The 4th of July is one more anniversary, of sorts, for Sweetie and me.
Our late dog, Bonnie, was born on that day - or close enough - in 1993. Anyway, we settled on that date, as she was a shelter dog with no pedigree. It's made it easy to keep track of how old she was.
We had her put down two years ago, on 9-11-06, and we bought this as her memorial. It looks quite like her. I planted the lilies for her, too, and they have finally bloomed.

Patent Pending
Yeah, I'm alright. Just not much to say.
It is a beautiful for the first of July. Clean air, a few nice cumulus clouds in the blue sky along with seasonable temps and humidity.
Sweetie and I will celebrate our anniversary this Friday, the 4th - 15 years married and 17 years since we met. I believe that we love and need each other even more now than then and that's a good thing. All together now ----"Awwww!" Best thing is that Sweetie may even have the day off! For the first time in, in, in - in a loooong time.
Bunny Babies. We got 'em. Both Crazy Mama and her Crazy Daughter kindled last Wednesday, and there are five kits between them. (This was a Planned Pregnancy, with Grumpy Daddy as the sire.) Most of Daughter's kits did not survive, in fact, only one remains and his condition is still precarious. :-( Mama's four, on the other hand, are fat little things, doing very well. I'm thinking that Daughter will not be bred again.
Amy presented us with four youngins on Friday. One is black, two look mostly like her, and one is more unusual. He is white with many black markings, including a stripe down his back.
With Good Neighbor Nancy's help, most of the outdoor buns are thriving. Apparently, Jerry the Evil Neighbor "got rid of" Red the Bunny Killer last week, after Red bit Jerry. How? I don't know and I don't want to know. I do know that the yard buns are a lot more at ease now.
On the Knitting Front, the purple cashmere shawl is done but for the blocking. ! Being hexagonal makes the blocking process a tad more complicated. Pictures asap.
