I found this photo from a bunch sent to me last week. Now this is crocheting at its best, don't you think?
Where do people come up with this stuff? I crochet....but would never ever go out and do a tree!
So thought I'd give you a chuckle for the day.
The web is an incredible source of infor-
mation and we use it for our uses and then some of the ridiculous. This could all be photo generated, but it's still a fun shoot.
Last week there seemed to be so many postings of flowers, butterfles, and such that I think we are in the "wishing for spring" thinking...specially those of us here in the wintery climates.
I found this butterfly photo to show that this is the mother of all butterflies....maybe it's a moth too. I really can't tell, but it's a beauty isn't it?
We are two days away from my sweetie having knee replacement, so I shan't be writing about pain and suffering. Needless to say, he knows what's coming, I know what's coming and you that know anyone that's had knee surgery knows....I am going to really really try to be a good nurse. It's not my forte, but the guy looked after me so well that the least I can do is ensure that he's up and about as fast as can be....after all my sweetie is the one who does the vacuuming.
Just kidding of the above. Really, he's not looking forward to this, other than the morphine which he cannot stay on for the rest of his life! He will recover as I have, without a hobble and feel like he can conquer the world! I do.
For those of you having parents or grandparents still living from World War Two, I just read that Richard Winters, Easy Company, aka, Band of Brothers has passed away at the age of 92. He was a leader that his men "would follow into hell". And for some, they did. It's because of men like him that we are here today.

great photos..someone must have too much time on hand
Oh my goodness first you with a hip replacement now him with a knee replacement - you guys sure should be back in good shape when you get back to the cottage!! Hope all goes well. Good thing you spaced these operations apart well for recovery - wouldn't have been good to go through at the same time.

Now that tree is amazing...and like you would never dream of something like that. the butterfly is amazing.
I did watch the band of brothers and sorry to hear of his death. I am so grateful for these men and others like them.
That tree is just about the wildest crocheting I've ever seen. It's going to bring a smile every time I think of it. Thanks for sharing the photo.

That tree picture is so crazy. One of my LQS has a support beam that they have crocheted. It is so silly. I hope your honey has a quick recovery.
The moth is huge!
Hope the op goes well. My SIL has to have a knee replacement this spring and my Dad has now had both hips done.
Best wishes to your sweetie....you will be a great duo in the spare parts department, won't you? That's an amazing moth! I like the crochet, it's a bit of fun isn't it.
Good luck to your hubby (and you, of course while you're nursing him back to health!) I'm so glad to know that you're doing so well after your own "replacement!" Aren't we lucky we live in these times when these types of surgeries are available?
I think someone had WAY too much time on their hands and an incredible stash of yarn LOL. I will be sending you sweetheart lots of positive thoughts for a quick recovery. Of course you know that Man pain is much worse than Woman pain, right?

Oh my goodness! How much yarn did that take? I don't like crocheting that much.lol I hope that your sweetie does good. I know that you have a long road ahead of you. Thanks for visiting me. I will be back to read more. Love your blog!
Oh my heavens both of you have parts replacements at the same time. I will keep good thoughts for your hubby and you keep on the mend as well. Hugs Deb
Hi Nanci, I'm glad you have recovered well and I wish your husband all the best for his recovery too. It must be so good not to live with the pain. I hope you had a wonderful holiday season. Just back so checking up on everyone.
Amazing pictures!
What entertaining photos. The tree is someone's idea of art. I love it, but I'd rather whip up a couple of hats for homeless folks, and needy babies.
