It's that time of year.....

I just finished my first Christmas Stocking for 2009. And it's not even Halloween yet.
Can you tell it was made for Steve? I've added it to my projects list on Ravelry, a pretty cool on-line knitting and crochet networking area, if you have checked it out I recommend it.

It's getting so I have to set the alarm on my watch when I sit down at the computer. Between Facebook, Ravelry, Etsy, blogging and e-mail I can lose half the day and not even notice it. Obviously I'm not the only one afflicted, one of the recent posts I saw on Facebook was the bemoaning of lost time on-line. Think up a way to prevent that and make a fortune.

But I did make the time to go out and take a couple of photos. When the rose bush finally blooms in late October you should get a picture of it.
When I mentioned that the rose bush had finally bloomed I was told by an acquaintance that roses like cool weather and bloom better then. I may have missed something in the translation but I remember turning my air conditioner off in mid-September because the summer here in KC has been so mild this time around. If roses like cooler weather then shouldn't it have been blooming at least once before now? I'm afraid this may be the last hurrah for this rose bush. Hope not, I like the color of the blooms.
