Franklin, can you give me a link to the charity knitting Dulon project you mentioned. Suspect I can't find it because I'm not spelling it properly. Many thanks,
She just knew how much nicer it is to sit inside on a day like that and knit, so She was "helping". You can always come visit Tucson again if you need sun and beach. We gots no ocean, but we gots lotsa beach.
Beach, schmeach. Sand inevitably gets into your book, knitting is an absolute no-go. All that tanning will make you wrinkly before your time. Really, Franklin, knitting is soooo much better for you. Love, Mother Nature
What does the weather have to do with proving that God is a woman? I think your arguement proves that God has a sense of humor or that He wants you to work on Christening shawls.
If only birthing a baby was predictable. I'm sure that you will prevail, even if the baby decides to make an entrance sooner than expected (albeit later than the due date already).
Mother Nature made sure that God was a Woman before she accepted the job....allies and all....you know how that is....
Same thing here. Warm enough to want to just sit in a kiddie pool yesterday, and today it looks threatening and no sun. I might even have to turn the heater back on.
It was suggested that the 88-degree weather here Monday was *someone* stoking up the fires of Hell in preparation for a certain someone who died yesterday - he got there last night and the weather went back to normal.
Tell Sister Sue to hang a new curtain. I thought my Polish grandmother was whacked on this one, but I hung a curtain in our family room and 24 hrs later...James.
Or join with Sam Harris and Christopher Hitchens. There isn't a God... it's "just" physics. (Makes all the stupid things religions have said about sex, women, gays evaporate, by the way.) Happy knitting, just the same.
god's gonna getcha, huh?
ReplyDeleteI had an uneasy feeling that wasn't a good thing to joke about.
ReplyDeleteBonne chance! I'm sure you'll see the sun again soon.
"Mother Earth" dude.
ReplyDeleteWhat were you thinking?

ReplyDeletejust keep knitting... just keep knitting... just keep knitting....
ReplyDeleteHa! Yeah, she'll get you every time.

ReplyDeleteAnd her name is Murphy.
ReplyDeleteMurphy has many, many laws, and dude, you done broke one of them. They're predicting snow for tomorrow night.
Okay, the snow is probably not your fault.
That's right, Franklin, it's not nice to fool Mother Nature!
ReplyDeleteDamn right.
ReplyDeleteBut did you go to the beach yesterday before they start shutting them down due to bacteria. I always love that yearly drama. Oy!

I'll bet your sister put in a word.
ReplyDeleteBeach, schmeach. Sand inevitably gets into your book, knitting is an absolute no-go. All that tanning will make you wrinkly before your time. Really, Franklin, knitting is soooo much better for you.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Mother Nature
PS now get to work!

ReplyDeleteIn my house, cold and rainy (or freezing and snowy) is called "knitting weather".
ReplyDeleteoh Franklin.....

ReplyDeletePlease keep knitting. I'm cold. Last night the air was on and now it's 60!! Please keep knitting!
ReplyDeleteConsidered the possibility your sister's pregnant with God? Hey, it's rumored to have happened to nice Jewish girls before this. Knit, man, knit!
ReplyDeleteThe weather has been affected as far as West Coast Canada! It went from 26 yesterday to 16 and quite windy today.
ReplyDeleteIn actuality, your sister is God.
ReplyDeleteYou are fantastic! Fantastic. Incredible. Wonderful. Talented. Period. :D

Rain ? It is your Sister who is giving birth - God is definitely a MAN (lol).
ReplyDeleteUmmmmm... yeah. But- it's not like your were gonna run away for ever--- and your COULD knit at the beach...
ReplyDeleteFYI- I'm in Michigan-made no tempting jokes and it's crappy here- today too;)
Keep knitting- it's turning out beautiful.

ReplyDeleteWe experienced the same type of weather shift; however, I'll take 56 over 86 anytime. Your niecephew will appreciate the sacrifice.
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking maybe God could be a knitter . . .
ReplyDeleteHa ha! You thought it's spring! Fooled ya! Neener neener! Now get to work, slacker, or I'll sic a flurry your way.
ReplyDeleteWith your intersecting interests in knitting and history and academic life, I thought you might like to see this:

And, I would like to point out, it is now raining here, and supposed to continue doing so for a while. Watch what you say.
ReplyDeleteStill no baby?
ReplyDeleteA couple of days ago I was wearing shorts and sandals. Now we've got a frost advisory. Well, at least I know whose fault it is.
ReplyDelete*laugh* Looks like she gotcha! :)
