Whoops! I Did It Again..

I started working on a new baby blanket last week. It is for a baby conceived during the knitting of a blanket for my cousin’s baby last year.  I have made baby things, constantly, for the past seven years because every time I start making something for one baby, another baby is conceived.

Coincidence?  Well,  I have a theory about that…

I suspect I am the Fertility Goddess of Yarn. If this is so, then some gal out there among my family, co-workers and friends is getting pregnant very soon. Maybe even as I write this. I’m hoping for a girl this time – pink yarn is my favorite. Selfish of me, I know.

It’s cool to be a Goddess of Something. I’m the perfect chick for the job because I love babies and yarn.

I also have my own tiara.  😉

Weird Science

Not the movie.

A co-worker (I work with atmospheric scientists) emailed around some photos of rare clouds. They are very cool, but I’m glad I never saw these clouds in person. Because frankly, they scare me.

Maybe it’s the uncanny resemblance to UFO’s and tornadoes that spooks me. I get an eerie feeling  when I look at them.

You can decide for yourself…

Clouds

FYI In case you are wondering …

These are “lenticular clouds”.  They’re caused when the winds are just right so when they flow over Mt. Rainier , the air gets pushed up where it cools and condenses into clouds.  It’s usually a sign of rain within 24 hours because typically the moist flow that precedes a storm in this area is the perfect set up for these clouds.
