Oohhh I LOVE that photograph!
I remember a hummingbird hovering just beneath the bill on my dad’s farmer hat, almost beak to nose.
They are brave wee things!

Ahhh, Alison, sometimes you have to recognize the gifts that come back to you. As sweet as Margo Lynn’s gift was, this was something meant just for you. Margo Lynn’s is coming, I have faith

Henya’s said it already. I don’t want to rain on your happy gobsmacked parade but Michelle, with “pets” there will always be SOME cleaning up after. I wouldn’t get rid of all the paper towels just yet ; )

Oh… I love the picture. Clara looks huge next to the hummingbird. What a sight! The dishcloths are very lovely. You attract nice and thoughtful people.

Alison, it’s a wonder that you haven’t landed somewhere in the San Jose Merc, what with your visits, gifts, and the like. Enjoy!

Other fun:

EXERCISE FOR PEOPLE OVER 40

Begin by standing on a comfortable surface, where you have plenty of room at each side. With a 5-lb potato sack in each hand, extend your arms straight out from your sides, and hold them there as long as you can. Try to reach a full minute, and then relax. Each day you ‘ ll find that you can hold this position for just a bit longer. After a couple of weeks, move up to 10-lb potato sacks. Then try 50-lb potato sacks, and then eventually try to get to where you can lift a 100-lb potato sack in each hand, and hold your arms straight for more than a full minute. (I’m at this level.) After you feel confident at that level, put a potato in each sack.

Totally forgiven, Alison!

After all, if it had not been for your idea, and wishing to have something more appropriate for Eric and Craig and Glenn, I would not have been insprired to knit the mitts. So enjoy!

And I figured it was just me knitting in your stead, and repaying the deep red scarf you sent to me as a surprise some years ago. It all goes around and comes back again – just like a fledgling, eh?
