knit, accomplish, knit

* Seen on a t-shirt:
     Knitters---writing code since the 11th century.

* A contented feeling of having accomplished my list today in a calm, mellow  way.

* I wallow in knitting porn, dogs snoozing beside me, until I realize the time.

je suis revenu

je suis revenu......

* Winding my way to the post office, I pause in the roadway to allow 6 (6!!) wild turkeys to cross. The man in front of me has pulled to the side of the road to get out of his car and I hold my breath while he finds a box in his car's trunk. (No, no. Not a gun, I think. Hunters are fine but this would be too easy, too much like a....turkey shoot. Is it even hunting season?) A camera is his quest. When I return home my room mate tells me 6 turkeys crossing the road in front of one means exciting adventures in the coming year.

* "Just put the cardboard back into the closet."
   (After he has fixed the door with it.)
   "Ohhhh! Your closet smells nice!"
   "Good. That means no one pooped in it..."

*  I pause for awhile at the stop sign because a red winged blackbird has lighted on the pavement beside my car (and I do not see many of those here). My mesmerized self suddenly realizes that I must move on but ah, only a motorcycle is behind me.

*  I follow 2 cyclists up and down hills until we all reach the stop sign. As we pause, a motorcycle cuts his left turn too closely surprising all three of us. Like dominos both cyclists go down. We three giggle.
