Distractions

I have not been knitting. Not really. Not since last Thursday, except for a Lizard Ridge square in the car on the way to Lebanon on Saturday. Lizard Ridge is my standard in the car knitting project. Here it is being somewhat frightened of the thunderstorm ahead of us.

We visited Robert's mom and the cemetery on Saturday, and then Robert drove by this covered bridge for me to take some photos.

So since I haven't been knitting, what have I been up to? One, I have been working in the yard. We've cleaned out the pool and worked in the flower beds getting ready for Michelle's visit in a couple of weeks. These are some Japanese lilies in front of our house.

I've also been reading. In case you've been living in a cave, there's a book and movie coming out soon, and I've been catching up on my reading. Since Friday, I have read this, this, this, and this, and am just starting this one. See? No time for knitting. But I think it's an excused absense!

This upcoming weekend will be busy with performances in three concerts at my church called the Festival of Keyboards (Springfield friends, you should really try to come to one of them - it's going to be great!). Our worship pastor and 3 of his friends, who are all very accomplished musicians, will be playing 4 grand pianos at the same time, along with our 150+ member choir and orchestra. I'm looking forward to it, but at the same time, will be glad when that last concert is over.

I've also been having some internet connectivity issues, so my apologies for my lapse in blogging and in keeping up with my blogger friends. Hopefully, I'll have full access again, soon. And hopefully, I'll be picking up my needles again, too!

What what what?!?! You have a pool?! All your blogger slackiness is forgiven, dear!

Your irises are gorgeous!

lol...I think anything that has to do with Harry Potter is definitely an excellent excuse not to knit....IMHO! :)

Three words: Book. On. CD.

I usually load a book on my iPod or Blackberry and listen while I knit, drive, shop, cook, etc. I've even listened to books all rerun style when I would never rarely re-read a book.

Taking a break for Harry... I'll allow it :D I need to re-read and get ready myself... I need to get a book buddy so I can read and knit at the same time... lol

I love, love, LOVE your irises...

The covered bridge looks neat. Where is it?

I agree that the concert will be amazing, but we will won't have much time to breathe this weekend!
