(Lydia crocheting in the Garden of Marly by Mary Cassatt, 1844-1926, Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York)
I felt that I needed to say that, since my blog is called 'Crocheting in Georgia' yet I never actually blog about crocheting.
I figure, that's what my shop is for. You can click on my flickr account or Etsy shop (to your right) and see the things I've crocheted and knitted. So, unless it's something really extravagant, you probably won't find me blogging about it here.
...and while I'm crocheting, I have to confess, my mind wanders often to Southern California, where I spent my "American Life" for several decades. I've made some wonderful memories there because California has breathtaking sceneries. You can have it all, mountains, beaches, the desert, big Redwood forests, you name it, it's all there. I have "done" California and I'm here to tell you, it's truly awesome!
The above video is about Laguna Beach, my most favorite beach to walk with Gizzy. Of course, the video does not do it justice, but right now, that's all I have, that and my memories and my photos. If you're young, strong or rich, I would definitely recommend California (...and being educated always helps, no matter where you go, but especially there - the competition is fierce!)
Gizzy in Heaven!
I love you forever and ever, Amen!

I'm crocheting, honest, I am!

Earth Day 2009
In honor of Earth Day today, I took a few photos and a nice little video clip from my walk around Lake Irma with Gizzy this morning.
I hope you can hear the birds singing. I love listening to all those different sounds. When I close my eyes, I can imagine being in a tropical rain forest somewhere. I just don't understand why there are so many mosquitoes with all those birds around. Don't birds eat mosquitoes? I know dragonflies do. Maybe I need to start raising them.

I set my alarm and we headed out early, since I learned that all the mosquitoes in Georgia are now after ME! Apparently it must be open season for DORIS! No matter what I do, they attack me. I sprayed repellent everywhere (or so I thought) but must've missed a spot between my fingers. Well, guess where I got stung? Also, they sting right through my clothes. I give up! For me, resistance is futile. I need a beekeeper's outfit! Or do like I do every summer - go out very early in the morning and then stay inside for the rest of the day! (poor Gizzy)
Here's a picture of Gizzy and I that a friend took when she came walking up with her two dogs.
On the way back home, we saw this log cabin that someone's building around the corner from where I live (they've been working on it for a while)
Lastly, please click below to see how Valdosta, Georgia, celebrated Earth Day:
