I think it is totally boring to always talk about the weather. But the weather is bizarre. We have been in drought since May-three months. Suddenly we are getting a Fall-like pattern of thunder storms without a lot of rain. It certainly isn't a drought-buster with a total of less than an inch. But a lot of thunder and lightening.
And the temperatures are cooler. I mean-whodathunkit-high 50's at night?!? Perfect camping weather!
I have also begun feeding the songbirds. I never have done this so early before. There is very little food for them in the weeds. The finches have returned, and I have the usual chickadees, titmouses, cardinals, blue jays, wrens, etc.
I saw a show on t.v. about the hummingbirds the other night. There is concern that the drought will effect their migration pattern. So people are putting out more food for them all over the place. I haven't had a lot of activity, but the birds do eat a lot of sugar water.
I also saw a blurb on t.v. that said butterflies will have a similar problem with their migration.
I am so very close to the end of the shawl/wrap/scarf with feather and fan pattern. I am ready to be done and move on to the next project.
SIL socks are getting there too. I have turned the heel and I am in the gusset on sock two. Once I finish the gusset, the rest is easy-peasy.
CJE loaned a DVD set on Loom Maintenance, and I watched disc 1 last night. Nothing new. I am thinking I really had good teachers when I learned to weave a long, long time ago. There is so much more to weaving than just sitting down at a loom and weaving. I hope that the students I taught a long, long time ago think I taught them so much more than how to get a good product off the loom.
With the cooler weather, I want to get out in the yard more. I did pull some weeds this morning early. I have been cooped up with the a/c for so long this season. I am ready to get out. I want to take Patty on a long walk in the woods somewhere.
Noodles has adopted Patty's bed, and sleeps in it all the time. So I guess I will look for another one at the Dollar store next trip. Patty gets really upset when she sees him in her bed. Poor little mistreated puppy.
I am thinking about next projects in my head while I finish up the current ones. I want to do a Fair Isle hat with the leftover yarn from the sweater vest project. I also think I will make some fingerless gloves.
CF just finished her first pair of gloves, and is excited about that. Gloves are like socks-once you do one pair, you know they are not hard and can continue doing them. It is getting over the fear part that is hard.
I guess that's it. Nothing too new. Just bizarre weather patterns. The usual household drama going on.

Just A Few Notes
- I think it so wrong for that guy to waste water washing the parking lot at the local convenience store. He was not using a power nozzle or anything. Just a hose and he was just letting the water run out and wash the lot. He didn't even have a broom or anything. My God! We are in a drought and he is not conserving water! Enough said!
- There is a major meteor shower this weekend. Someone said best viewing on the 12th and 13th.
- We had a teeny little cool down. It was 103 degrees yesterday afternoon, but the nights are cooler. I am able to turn off the a/c part of the day now. As soon as heat/humidity climb, on it goes. There is nothing stickier than wool when the humidity is up there.
-There is a Blue Moon on the 31st. In a lunar cycle, occasionally you get 4 full moons in a season. That is the Blue Moon. There are lots of myths about the name, and I think the "real" reason is lost. I think maybe the closest I have found is the Middle English word belewe. It is pronounced "blue" and is interpreted as that, but it can mean betrayal. Many people felt the moon had betrayed them. It would be easier if people followed lunar cycles instead of solar cycles. Then it would not be unusual in any way.
-Back to the first comment. I heard on CNN that people are so strange. After the droughts in Texas last year, you would think folks would know they need to conserve water. As soon as rain came, people were out using water like there would always be water. Waste, waste, waste. Now there is a drought, and folks are really unhappy that they have to conserve again.
-I wish my neighbor well, but he planted his little patch of grass and shrubs along the fence right before the drought hit. There was a real reason why the garden center put the shrubs on sale at that time. So he waters all the time with drip hoses. Because of this, my Bermuda grass along the fence on my side is growing like crazy. It is hard to mow or weed eat because it is so lush and thick. Sigh!
-Patty is bored with being inside all the time. She is ready to go out and be outside more. I tell her she can stay out 5-10 mins, but that is hardly enough time for a little dog to get to the neighbor's to check out the back yard. She would love to find a real treasure of garbage again. I hope they don't throw anything out like they have done in the past.
-The Tontitown Grape Festival is underway. The big spaghetti suppers are Thursday, Friday and Saturday. I am not going. I hate carnival rides and carnies in general. I do like Fair Ground type of food, but it is too damn HOT! I think I will wait for the county fair.
-There is something really wrong when it is 100+ degrees and there are Fall adds on t.v.
-There is really something wrong with Hobby Lobby when there is Christmas stuff all over the store in July.
That's it. I am going to go back to plying my yarn. Happy Wednesday!

I Hope I Don't Jinx It!
It is raining. A light, easy rain. It smells dusty as I stand in the open kitchen door. It has been cloudy and thunder has been rumbling for at least two hours. It appeared to stay northeast of here. And suddenly, it is RAIN! Yeah! I don't have to water today! Yeah!
As I look to the north, I can see lighter sky. Oh, well, blessings are on us for whatever little bit of rain we get. The last one was about 3/10ths of an inch. Enough to water a little bit.
And it is cooler with the clouds-82 degrees!
I am still knitting hexipuffs-14 so far! And I finished sock number 1. I am not a very ambitious knitter, am I?
My brother declared his intention to retire on his birthday next Feb. He has been emailing me, and calling me to talk. It is really nice that he has really thought this through and planned it right. I think he is ready. He will be 68 and wants to do things while he is able to do them. Smart man! We never know how long we can enjoy things.
I finished the camel/merino and I am going to finish up the alpaca so I can ply. It is really pretty stuff.
Noodles had been on the deck when the rain started, and he is now on the screened porch where he is dry. We are all enjoying the cooler temps. Even the birds are chirpling differently.
While I was typing, I noticed the rain has already stopped. Oh, well, a little bit to clean off the dust on the leaves.
I went to Knitting Group last night. I haven't been there in three weeks. It was good to hear everyone's stories again. I really like my group. It is more the core group during the summer, and then more will come when the weather is more conducive and people are back from vacations.
I am finally declaring war on the ants invading the hummingbird feeder. I have tried everything, but they keep on coming. They drown in the water inside, and then float to the top. Eventually they taint the water and my little birds are thirsty again. So now I put sugar water in the feeder, spray the wood and the hanger, and the little birds drink and drink and drink. I watch regularly and spray again if needed. I have had multiple feeders out, and they only drink from one feeder. So I finally called a truce and put out the one feeder. And the ants keep on coming, no matter what. I know it seems cruel, but the ants don't have to fly a great distance like my little birds. I want them to get all ready to depart when their clocks say it time to go. I was overwhelmed yesterday when one of the little birds hovered in front of the window for a few seconds. I like "thank you" any way I get it.
So back to spinning alpaca. Get the apron on, and sit down to my audiobook.
Oh-oh-rain again! I am going to enjoy every drop I can get.

I Am Not Insane!
Well, I started making my little hexipuffs last night. I have made three and one is on the needles. I haven't become addicted to them, and I do find the beginning first rows a bit too futzy. It takes about three rounds to get going right. Hopefully I will get faster and better at this.
I have a huge box of leftover sock yarns. I have given away a LOT of my leftovers, but the box still appears full. So I debated adding onto the mitered square afghan. I have dragged myself into that hole before, and in my mind, the thing is finished.
I found another pretty interesting pattern, but they use a yarn,like Noro, with the long colorways. I had a hard time figuring out how I would be changing colors along the way and what would it look like.
So hexipuffs it is. I like it enough to satisfy my curiosity, and I can watch the Olympics without too much challenge.
I did stop working on them while Inspector Lewis was on PBS. I knit on my sock during that show. I am on the foot part and it is just round and round and round and round. No thinking.
I have spent an awfully long, long time today trying to set up a business page on Facebook. My Wix team sent me an email for free templates for the Facebook page, etc. They forgot to tell me that Facebook will not allow me to have that template as my landing page. That was why it was taking me so very long to do it. Finally I settled that I have a Wix app and people have to press the app to see the Wix template I worked so damn hard on, and to have a link to my website. Too hard. Too confusing.
So keep cool. Keep knitting with the fans blowing on you.

Hmmm! What Is New or Not New?
I have had serious depression over this heat. I have to stay indoors or I melt-it's true. I simply cannot tolerate more than a few minutes outdoors. This is new behaviour for me, but when it is 105 degrees, I melt.
We had one afternoon of some rain-around 3/10ths of an inch. Whoopie Doo! It didn't do anything for the drought, but it did cool things down to 78 degrees for a little while. There was a great wind attached to the storms, and thunder and lightening. It would have been great to have a massive rain, but I guess any water is better than none.
I made myself stay up to watch the whole opening ceremonies for the Olympics, and I did not understand all of it at all. There were very entertaining parts that were theatrical, but.... I think one has to be British to understand everything.
I don't have a schedule of what is shown on t.v., but by accident I did get to watch the women's eight 1500 meter rowing race. The USA was so far ahead, and I expected to see Australia put on some speed at the end. Instead the USA women kept a steady fast pace the whole race. Most of the races I have seen or been in you start out strong, find a steady sustainable pace, and then put on every bit of speed you can muster towards the final meters. This boat stayed at a very fast, steady pace the whole time. Their strokes were different from the competitors, too. Well, I enjoyed it.
The gymnasts have some great bodies, I will say. They are putting themselves through some hell with their competitors. One of the Chinese men is 5'7". Wow!
I have finished one knitting project and continuing with others. I can't seem to push myself right now. I have kinda stalled out on the camel/merino yarn. And I did get the binding on the quilt, but haven't started the handwork yet.
Yesterday CJE, JE, and I left at 7am to go to the Fiber Christmas in July in Kellyville, OK. I don't have to tell you that none of us were too motivated to brave the heat. It was so much fun to visit with all our friends and vendors we know. I only bought a few fiber treasures, and a coupla tools. We left by 11:30 am, ate lunch in Sapulpa, and drove on home. We only made one pit stop to go to the bathroom and stretch our legs. We were home early. On my car thermometer it was 105 degrees! 106 in Tulsa in the concrete jungle.
So nothing new to report. My writing has been scarch because of that. I just am not too motivated to do much, and I am just trudging along on unfinished projects.
Stay cool and hydrated. We still have about one month and a half to go. SIGH!!

What a Tease!
Yesterday afternoon clouds moved in and there was thunder all around us. I noticed that the wind was blowing a little more. I walked out to the deck, and it was cooler. It was in the high 80's! Oh, boy, a real storm. But as the afternoon carried on, no rain. No rain. How could Nature tease like this. On the weather report at 6 p.m., other places got rain. No rain. Still dry.
This morning it was cool-around 79 degrees. There was some tiny bits of dew on the grass stems.
CF is coming today, so I took advantage of the cooler weather and baked some multigrain rolls. I ate a warm bit of bread with soft goat cheese, and it was heavenly. I had forgotten how good hot bread tastes. The muffins I made is not the same as chewy multigrain rolls.
Isn't Life the funniest thing? A silly thing as hot bread, clouds that cool the air, and the news that my nephew finally married his girl. Yeah! I am so proud of him. They stood in the surf and had a friend of his marry them before they flew off to the Keys for a honeymoon. Yeah!
I gave Patty a quick bath to cool her off and to help with her appearance. She badly needs a trim, but that will wait a while. This week is really busy. She and I have a ritual that I rub her with the towel and say "Shaky, Shaky" and she shakes and grins and jumps. We do that for several rubs, then I gently comb out her leg hairs and her mustache. Then she shakes all that apart, and runs into the house and out again. It is so funny!
The sun is out now, and the heat is on. I don't know how long I can go without the a/c.
My neighbor's dogs are getting really tired of the new routine. They want their mama and daddy to just come home and go back to their routine. Abby is "acting out" and is sullen. Beau could care less, but wants to stay out in the sunroom on his couch. They do not like being shut up in a small laundry room all day.
I have not worked on the new quilt. I finally found the fabric I want for the binding on the quilt I got back from the quilter. Yesterday I measured and sewed and ironed the binding. Today I hope to get it sewn on. Maybe tomorrow. It depends on when CF gets here.
I have been spinning while listening to an audio book. I am not pushing myself, but I want to hurry up and finish it up. I am spinning the second skein of the camel/merino. I really like the first skein, and hope this one is as nice as the first.
CJE loaned me a video on Combing Fibers. I have never really combed fibers very much, but I got kinda excited about it. It isn't as easy as she makes it look. I am thinking of saving up money for a pair of mini combs for finer fibers. I have been thinking of how to process the bison easier than I have done so in the past. I also would like to have a set of paddle combs to blend with. I want to experiment with colors a little more. CJE has a pair of Viking combs, so that would be something to practise on.
Well, I guess I will dust mop the floor to get up some of the dust bunnies. Thank goodness, no one really expects me to clean my house. The sheets are clean on the bed, and the bathroom is clean. That should count for something.
Well, down to business. Later.

It's Still Hot!
Well, we did get about an inch of rain last week, and an itty-bitty reprieve of 90's instead of the 100's. The weatherman said my part of Arkansas is about 10 inches below normal in rainfall. Whew! It's a drought again.
I do have some good news. I have officially opened a web site- juliannkingsfiberart.com I know it is an insanity, but I like it. It has taken me to places I cannot imagine in the brain field. It has been frustrating and fun, too.
I sold my rototiller, and I had planned that money would help out with the extra bills, or at least, maybe would go with me to Christmas in July to the fiber show. Well, tomorrow is CJE's birthday, and we went to a pawn shop yesterday so she could buy herself a present. I walked out with a new t.v. Whodathunkit?! I got an excellent deal. The only thing is the picture is too big for my chair placement. It gives me a headache. I have to work something out with that.
I finished the squares-56 total. Now the puzzle begins. I cannot decide how I am going to place them. I haven't decided if there will be sashing, or just a border. Now the fun part begins.
My neighbor is having a triple bypass this a.m. I am babysitting the dogs while B is at the hospital worrying over H. I told her I would mow the itty-bitty patch of tall grass right by their driveway. It was too hot this morning, but I will try to get up earlier tomorrow.
I finished the socks I was knitting on. They are on the website now. I also put the clown socks on the website, too.
My sister-in-law bought my red scarf, and I mailed that off to her. She and I talked about an hour on Saturday to catch up on everything. It feels good when one catches up with old friends. She wants a pair of socks, so I have cast on for her pair. I told her it may be a while, but it is too hot for socks anyway. The fabric is coming out a different colorway than I imagined when I look at the ball of yarn. That's always the case, but it is different.
I have been putting out a small bowl of water in the shade for the outdoor critters. My woodchuck is pretty active, even with the heat. I also have been putting out watermelon and fruit for the critters.
I haven't been cooking much with the heat. Yesterday evening I made some chocolate chip muffins, and it tasted so good. I figured muffins wouldn't be in the oven long, and it wouldn't heat up the house too badly. They are yummy!
My friend CF is supposed to come visit on Sunday. Her younger grandson's birthday is next Wednesday, and she is going to spend the day with the two boys on Monday. Then we are going to go to a movie on Tuesday before she goes home again. She will be sleeping at my house while she is in town. So a nice little reprieve for us both.
So not a lot is happening. I have spent so much time on the website that it has consumed me. I just want it up and running so I don't have to think about it any more. I am done with troubleshooting, I think.
Keep cool, and keep the a/c running. It is still too damn hot!
