10.27.2006 :: cat challenge
Despite the calendar saying that it is still techinically autumn, the winter chill has been in the air. It smells like winter. Do you know that smell? It's too early to make it's stay, but it reminds us to get our wools in order. Nothing feels better than slipping wool socks over cold toes and ankles, does it?
Roomie Scarf is in full swing.
That's the Irish Hiking scarf that I have been drooling over for years. Or so it seems! Such a fun knit. And I am liking the stripes. Let's hope it's cool enough for college.
It's that time of year again!
The neighborhood kitty newsletter must have gone out with the yearly challenge of making me feel bad for a cold cat on my porch! Here's this years winner!
They always seem to be orange cats too. As I tried to open the door, you know, to shoo her away, she tried to RUN IN MY HOUSE. She then proceeded to roll around on the porch looking all CUTE, mewing pathetically. Making someone not happy.
I'm still a chick magnet!
The orange cat's remark?
I'm cute!
She's moved on now. There must be another challenge in the neighborhood.

The other night, Andy called me and said, "Sandy, come down to the beach, QUICK!".
I jumped in the car so fast with visions of romantic dinners or strolls hand in hand. No. It was even better.
Eye Candy!
I'm too old for that romantic hand holding anyway! Rainbows, I like!

That is a fabulous rainbow picture and I love the pink scarf.

That rainbow pic is gorgeous! and so is that scarf.
Isn't it good that there is Someone Who Will Not Understand when the cats who want to live with you try to move in? I'd have dozens, but I'm not allowed. That look is priceless.

Ohmigod to that double rainbow!

Bethany's roomie will love the scarf. Those stripes are way fun!! And isn't the Irish Hiking scarf one of the nicest patterns??
Fig kills me. His expressions are priceless. And so are you, Rainbow Girl.

That is SUPER-romantic that he called you to COME DOWN RIGHT AWAY for the beauty of the rainbow.
AND the scarf is absoLUTEly going to be cool enough for college. It's awesome. Go YOU!

Love that scarf!
Posted by: Cookie on 10.27.2006 AT 04:47 PM
Beautiful double rainbow. Brownie points for Andy!
I'm sure the scarf will be plenty cool!
Posted by: Manise on 10.27.2006 AT 03:39 PM
Ooh, that is a fantastic rainbow! Even better than hand-holding.
Posted by: Cheryl on 10.27.2006 AT 01:12 PM
oh, and i forgot. love the scarf!
Posted by: minnie on 10.27.2006 AT 12:53 PM
What a beautiful rainbow and so sweet to have him call you to see it!!
The cats are funny!
Posted by: Alisha on 10.27.2006 AT 12:42 PM
i also think it's pretty grand that he called you, and that you can run down quickly to the beach even if it is in your car. i got to move closer to the ocean. (yes 40 miles is too far)
Posted by: maryse on 10.27.2006 AT 12:37 PM
OK, you are never to old for holding hands, but regardless, that is a beautiful picture. Your kitty is too cute, even cuter than the hussy flaunting her stuff on the porch and your scarf is super college cool!
Posted by: Tracey on 10.27.2006 AT 12:23 PM
Fabuloso scarf, kitty, and rainbows!
Posted by: Jane on 10.27.2006 AT 12:22 PM
OMG, that rainbow picture is to dye for. I'm a sucker for a rainbow anyday. Thanks for sharing. I just posted a picture of the fall sky in SW VA on my blog for ya since I know you love the sky as much as I do.

Rainbows, great hubbies and hand holding...you coulda had it all! (I'll bet you did secretly, eh?) Did you see the picture on my side bar of me walking on the beach in Marblehead? It was so beautiful. Miss EWE!!!!
Posted by: margene on 10.27.2006 AT 11:58 AM
Nice cat, too. (Orange cats are almost always male, like calicos are almost always female.) I like the scarf a lot! I am going to make one for myself one of these days, when I can steel myself for looking like an idiot wearing a scarf in southern Arizona.
Posted by: Carrie on 10.27.2006 AT 11:52 AM
Now that's cool, a rainbow for two!
Posted by: Carol on 10.27.2006 AT 11:51 AM
fabulous rainbow ---- don't worry about the hand holding as long as you're holding other parts! ;)
Posted by: ann on 10.27.2006 AT 11:14 AM
Isn't that rainbow beautiful. I think you have more rainbows on the North Shore than we in-land folk have.
Posted by: Kathy on 10.27.2006 AT 10:45 AM
You're never too old for romance. But I think him calling you to come see the rainbow is pretty romantic in and of itself.
Posted by: Carole on 10.27.2006 AT 10:11 AM
Yeah, rainbows totally do not suck. It was nice of Andy to give you a call. (At least he thought of ya, even though he didn't hold your hand.)
And that's one cute little kitty stalking your house.
Posted by: Dave Daniels on 10.27.2006 AT 10:08 AM
Listen chickie! If there's ever a time that I'm too old for romantic hand holding - but me in a box in the ground. ;-)
Gorgeous rainbow. And Andy gets SUPER romantic points for calling you down to see it.
Posted by: Cara on 10.27.2006 AT 10:00 AM
that was magnificent. especially since it was reflected in the water. i'm so jealous
Posted by: minnie on 10.27.2006 AT 09:58 AM
so pretty! glad you got there to see it in time!
Posted by: stacey on 10.27.2006 AT 09:51 AM
Gorgeous rainbow shot! (And the scarf is lovely, too.)
Posted by: Jan on 10.27.2006 AT 09:47 AM
Yep, I hope you grabbed his hand for calling you! Was that on Monday? I saw a rainbow in my neck too! So lovely.
Posted by: Teresa C on 10.27.2006 AT 09:42 AM
You're never too old for romantic hand holding... but the Rainbow is fabulous!
Posted by: Kathleen on 10.27.2006 AT 09:36 AM
Scarf: Beautiful, and makes me want to pick up some new wool and get to cabling, which I feel pretty confident at now that I've been to SAFF (My version of Rhinebeck, since NY is just a wee-bit far!)
Cats: Love. I'd take her in, for sure .. though Isis would growl muchly.
Eye Candy! Yum! That's simply, fantastically beautiful.
