My Son's Dragon



He wanted me to share this with you because it was the highlight of his day. He showed everyone his dragon. :)

Simple pleasures. *sigh*

I just finished frogging his sweater to recast it as a top-down. Did you know when you frog wearing a leather jacket the leather makes noises like little frogs? Okay, so I am not quite recovered from this weekend...I didn't sleep well last night.

Yesterday we found out where our back property line is because they are building a fence there. The fence goes smack dab through our back yard. It is a little disturbing. We don't know if they are cutting down the trees that we love so much or how close they plan to be to us now. But I'm sorry I don't like it. :(

I've buried kitties up on the hill...we even named it Kitty Hill because of that...it's where I have my Goddess garden too. *sigh*

I read somewhere to take a day to mourn and then give it to God. So I am mourning today the loss of half of my backyard which is full of memories of good friends and good times and then tomorrow I will let it go and have more knitting to share with you.

But today I think I will go up to Kitty Hill and fondly remember all the felines that are up there esp little Shadazar who only lived for three days but was so sweet.

Tomorrow I will talk to DH about where to put the new Goddess Garden. We just put in new stone retaining walls and I have some stone left...maybe I can do something with it?

Is it silly to be bummed over something so trivial? DH is bummed too. He didn't sleep last night either. We are a duo of zombies today.

Well, today is LYS day and I need to get cracking on the Laurene Lace Shawl. I've got all the motifs but one and now that I frogged all this yarn I have needles and yarn to swatch...imagine that! :)

Huh. I never thought the woods behind Kitty Hill were yours, but it never occurred to me they were the neighbor's, either. It IS disappointing for them to be cutting down such a lovely stand of trees, just to put up a fence; and more disappointing that you're losing your woods. :(

Start planting a new set of trees at your property line...it will take a bit, but you'll have your privacy back, if not Kitty Hill...and plant your garden again, making the changes you'd considered since making the first!(yes, when handed lemons, I do, indeed make lemonade!) I think you need a double dose of my normal
(((hugs))) so ((((hugs))))

I understand your son being proud on his dragon :)

I feel sorry for the fence going through your yard and hope they won't do too much damage - as I appreciate the green in the first place. Here all the green disappears as every piece of land is used to build houses upon. :-S

(((hugs))) I agree... take the time to mourn and give it to God.
