Caturday!

 

In other news, Minnie went missing Wednesday night - I was afraid she had bolted out the back door while we were running the hose out into the back yard.  Turns out she was hiding in the storage room under the porch.

She appeared this morning long enough to let me see what a terrible human she thinks I am, and went back into the storage room.  

It's Deja Vu All Over Again

The entire south end of town is flooded, along with our basement.  Let's see, when did this happen before?

Quote of the Day

 

We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he today that sheds his blood with me shall be my brother...
Amd gentlemen in England now a-bed
Shall think themselves accursed they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us...~ Wm Shakespeare

Vintage Tatting

 

A tatted medallion using a ring of hearts motif, pretty and unusual.  

My notes say this is from Workkbasket magazine, May 1950 - but I can't find it in the online copy.  Hmmm.  

Happy International Children's Day
