Good Friends and Green Witches
The view I saw most often this weekend was my hands busily knitting in the foreground, with my propped-up, slipper clad feet in the background. Sadly I missed the SLC SnB Grrls Retreat at Silver Fork Lodge, but was happy to sit relax and get rid of tummy trouble. In a very sweet act of friendship, Cheryl took the time and went out of her way, to stop by and leave a nicely wrapped gift of ginger tea on my doorstep. It was about all I ate or drank the whole week and it was very welcome.
Sunday afternoon Smith thought I needed to get out of the house, so we took our annual trip to the Land of Green Witches. Right away we found a witch who cast a spell of good health. It really did the trick and enjoyed visiting with old friends more Green Witches. (I did finish Ribby but to insure the spell would work, the Witches all told me I shouldn't show her off until their special day on Wednesday.)
We found two Green Witches playing baseball...I do think they must be Sox fans as they put a bad hex on the Rockies.
I'm fairly sure this Green Witch was on her way to write "Surrender Dorothy" in the sky.
It was so much fun to visit this magical land again and I came home feeling much better. All your good wishes helped, too!
I'm glad that the tea, witches of good health, and time have helped your tummy troubles. I'm glad that you are feeling better.

Ginger tea and witches will cure you every time! Glad you are feeling better, or we'd have had trouble picking you out in those photos!

You DO look happier! I am glad you got out and visited the witches and also felt well enough to post the beautiful fall color photos.

For a second there, I thought your post title was, "Green Friends" in honor of your your stomach ache. :)

I am SO glad you're feeling better and that you got out for at least a little bit - the witches are really cool!

Well, we over here on the East Coast are glad that the witches put a hex on the Rockies, but I'm such a bleeding heart that I felt bad for those boys last night. Why can't everybody win?

It's just good to know that YOU'RE not green any more.

Now I'm gonna have wicked-witch music running through my head all day... but glad you feel better!

I was wondering if the witches were going to make an appearance this year. It wouldn't have been the same without them!
Posted by: Dianna | October 29, 2007 at 04:23 PM
I always look forward to seeing the witches! Tomorrow, I'm off to photograph scarecrows.

Oh I want to see the sweater in all its glory!!! Do you love it?
Posted by: scout | October 29, 2007 at 07:54 PM
Well, at least you felt well enough to knit. I was suffering with a migraine recently and felt really sad that so much precious knitting time was wasted.
Hope you're feeling better.
