Change of plans

This is a picture of Lula.
My youngest daughter got out of her car one night, and before she got into her house, she heard this pathetic little squeak. She went to investigate, and she found this tiny, abandoned kitten.
She and her boyfriend were quickly enamored, and now Lula reigns.

From Crazy as a Loom

The reason you are getting a picture of Lula........other than that she is adorable, and takes a lovely photo, is this.
I screwed up today. Big time.
My friend and I went for a long drive to Vermont, looking to buy a loom. I know I don't need another loom, but that is never not the point.
The sun was shining. It was a beautiful winter's day.
Suddenly, I saw the mountains across the lake in New York..........my friend pulled over, I opened my Geek Bag, and got my camera and lens out.............I was actually standing on the side of the road for about a minute before what I would admit to myself what I knew.
The battery was dead.
OMG.
Are you kidding me?????
My poor friend had to listen to my tirade. I was so annoyed with myself.
And then of course, there were winding roads along icy brooks, trees covered with snow. There were old houses and barns, ski slopes and winter scenes galore.
Then when we got to the place where the loom was, there were two black pygmy goats with the sweetest faces you have ever seen. And a woodworking shop with handmade buckboard wagons. And Percheron horses, and a team of oxen.
Shall I go on???
Hear me sigh. Loudly.
So instead, dear friends, you get Lula.
But if you're anything like me, Lula will make you smile.
And you'll just have to wait on the pictures.
I am thinking that I will charge my battery in the future, when I am planning a jaunt where pictures may abound.
