1.) This cracked me up and I wanted to share:
It's Only Tuesday
It’s funny because it’s true.
2.) My garden is almost done for the year with the exception of a few hold-outs:
Cosmos are still going strong – I grew these from seed so I’m not planning on ripping them out until after it snows!
Moonflowers and morning glories have taken over our Direct Tv
Peppers that I made into chili last week. I could probably fill another 2 bowls like this with what’s out there right now. I can’t believe how well my pepper plants did this year!
3.) We went to a Smashing Pumpkins concert in Detroit the weekend before last:
And although it wasn’t technically the Fabulous Fox (that's in the ATL), the Fox Theater was still pretty fab:
The concert was just kindof ok. I love the Pumpkins but I'm guessing they rocked alot harder back in the day...
Tonight

4.) In knitting news....despite the fact that it is Socktober, despite the fact that I’m trying to finish what I started, and despite how very pretty and obsession-inducing this is:
Swirl socks in Cider Moon (sadness!) Glacier in Lower Whacker Drive that I started in Peru
I’m joining Affiknitty in a boycott of all sock knitting. The theory is that knitting socks while playing the Sox is bad luck. And considering that we’re only 2 wins away from being in the World Series I don’t want to take any chances…
Go Tribe!
The Tuesday thing? Perfect for my mood. They could have quoted me in the bit.
ReplyDeleteThose peppers look so good! I'm sad to know that we're at the end of our tomatoes. There are still green ones on the vine, but I don't think they're going to ripen.
ReplyDeleteThe Tues thing is awesome! Perfect for my day!!
ReplyDeleteI have a sock sitting here but yes I am a bit afraid to Knit on it while we are playing the sox, but it's the 2nd to the sock from stitch and pitch, so they won then so maybe it's good luck...I'll just let it watch the game and if it starts to cheer for the sox I'll put it away. I think it's a Tribe fan though...
Go Tribe!!
You take such fantastic pictures! And I forwarded the Tuesday story to quite a few people - loved it!
ReplyDeleteOh see... now I won't be able to even look at my socks now. :(
ReplyDeleteBut if it means the Indians are going to make it to the world series... I'm willing to suffer. :)
My cosmos are the last holdouts of summer too. I hope they last for a while more!
ReplyDeleteI was wondering how long it was going to take you to get to that last little message!!! Glad your team is kicking a** right now:)
ReplyDeleteSmashing Pumkins were my *favorite* band in high school!
ReplyDeleteGO TRIBE!
Ok, first of all I am really hating your friggen tribe right now! Boo tribe, booo!!
ReplyDeleteok... glad i got that off my chest :)
How were the Pumpkins?? I saw them here in San Diego for my birthday... they totally rocked!!
You can pick up those socks again tomorrow, cuz tonight we're kickin' their a*&es to finish this series!
