Here is is, early January and I have been sleeping with the windows open. Which is nice, and makes the cats happy because they climb out onto the porch roof and survey their kingdom from on high. But at this rate the spring flowers could get very confused and lured into a doomed early bloom. Hope not.
A perfectly lovely time in Massachusetts.
Saw a hunt:
Saw the Essex marshes from Janet & Jim's house:
Saw the ocean:
This is The Barnacle, where I had clam chowder for lunch looking out the window onto Marblehead Harbor.
Mostly saw friends - Katherine H, Dave R, Jim D and Lee from the old job, Georgette's play with the Mugford Street Players, and even Tom, the ex, who was friendly and cordial.
It all makes me wonder what I am doing in Indiana. Maybe I should pack up the cats and move back east.
Almost done with the second Hedera,
the first Monkey,
the first Jaywalker.
But also started a Clapotis.
Crazy Aunt Purl is having a Cats in Sweaters contest, so I had to enter.
Here is Little Egypt wearing the sweater I made for mom's teddy bear so many years ago.
And here is El Guapo, less than thrilled about being dressed up.
All my actors are gone now and the house is quiet. The cats seem to be somewhat relieved, and I am glad to have a little me time, but it sure was nice having a house full for the Indy Fringe.
I think the festival will be considered a success, and I know the Mugfords and Phil had great preformances, good audiences, and fun.
So now I am on Ravelry, but too busy this week to do much about it. Fringe Festival is in full swing, house full of actors (2 Jims, 1 Stephen, 1 Phil, plus lodger April) and it looks like I might have to do some extra volunteer shifts this weekend. But a good time will be had by all.
