Chicken Casualty

The granddog's favorite toy...not Steve's Lava Chicken...

was a bit of a casualty for the kids' summer visit this year, but I suppose worse things have happened to chickens. 

Still, it's a bit confusing when you're a dog. 

At least all of the cousins had a great time, and no limbs were lost at Aunt Jess and Uncle Aaron's annual sleepover.

To celebrate all the good times, after helping Sweetie give the whole house a good clean on Monday, 

I took a trip to Cedar Point and got this shot of Siren's Curse in a nearly full tilt as Top Thrill 2's train launched backwards next door! Took this while waiting in line for a night ride on the newest coaster, which was great! 

Then the cleaning resumed with a visit from our friends at Stanley Steemer, who did a great job on the carpets,

which gave me some time to work on my sweater. I've divided for the sleeves on this Neretina by Kirsten-Michele, and I'm pretty stoked about how it's turning out! 

And, though I was thinking I might get another CP trip in last night, we went walking at Sandy Ridge instead. I was rewarded by this lovely shot of dreamy, purple wild bergamot in the hazy glow of the setting sun. 

All-in-all, a good, low-key week, but I'm tired! How has your week been? 

Thanks for stopping by, and Knit in Good Health!
