A much more tender definition of S & M – this photo is of Sam and Murphy snuggled up together in the corner of the couch.  Sam has his chin on Murphy’s head and you can see their front legs around each other.  Sweet.

Daffodils yesterday, daffodils today, daffodil tattoos – I sense a theme . . .

The lyricwriter talks about the symbolism some attribute to daffodils and their depiction in tattoo art.

Where am I traveling?

February 18, 2013

Last Saturday, I was traveling – first a meeting in Frankfort, Kentucky (a nice little town) and then to Cincinnati to visit friends.

While in Cincinnati, we visited the market and the Krohn Conservatory,  which offered a splendid breath of spring.

Here are the daffodils at the Krohn Conservatory. . .

Here are a few more photos from the Krohn:

I mentioned earlier that I am knitting hats for the newborns at the county hospital.  Here are some of the latest creations being shown by world-class models.

Below, Murphy models a snappy white cloche with a garnet bow embellishment.

And then Sam shows off a novelty cupcake hat.

This modeling can be an exhausting business.

I am amazed at how calm these guys are during the photo shoot.
