Stuff Here

I recently met someone that BFJ has known since high school.  After exploring his strange and wonderful house, which includes two different pairs of pet pheasants, handcrafted knives, and a treehouse above the roof, I left with a little handful of treasures.  One day they'll adorn some handmade hats:   


On a completely different note, the sage is doing wonderfully... 



We visited my parents last week, and I had a fun little walk with Zoom and the camera...



In the garden at our house, I neglected to harvest this onion from Candace last year; now it's about ready to bloom!

    As always, your pictures are gorgeous Karen. BFJ's friend sounds VERY interesting -- did you take pics of the treehouse?

    Did you take pictures of the house, Karen? It must be fantastic! Don't know if I would want pheasants as pets, though! We have some at the aviary down the street and they like to "screech" at all hours - lol! You can harvest the seeds from the onions and have starts for next year!
    Cheers!

    don't know you but I like your sense of style and photography and we have many similar interests, photography, food, sewing, books, I have 4kids.
    I particularly liked your ironing board recover, I love the nautical print and that you actually just did it! I've been thinking about it for about 10 years but now I just might get it done! Thanks!

garden panos from 2023

 Last year, I made some effort (not thoroughly successful) to capture state-of-the-garden pictures every month, including panoramas stitched together on Photoshop, in order to get the whole view of what's happening.  So here's a little recap of the garden in 2023! early March April May June August It appears that I missed July, and either didn't take or didn't save this project in September, although we didn't have a killing frost very late into the season - we were still harvesting a few things in October.  As much as I loved the lettuce that was growing in the tunnel, and getting an early start on a few things, I'm not a fan of plastic anywhere, especially in my garden, so I am looking at options - cold boxes with old windows, etc.  I'm planning to start my 2024 garden this month - pea planting, planning, and seed starting in March!  What are you planting?

Spring Means Baseball!

I've had this idea for a knitting pattern in my head and it's finally come to fruition!  I am still polishing up the pattern, but here's a quick peak:  PS:  There's more than one size and this one is too big for me but it was the only one I had "stitched up."

Night

Trixie (as in Speed Racer) and Stitch (as in per inch) Night My kitten walks on velvet feet And makes no sound at all; And in the doorway nightly sits To watch the darkness fall. I think he loves the lady, Night, And feels akin to her Whose footsteps are as still as his, Whose touch as soft as fur. Lois Weakley McKay ... a childhood favorite from The How and Why Library. Thank goodness my parents moved last year and sent this book my way. Otherwise, I would have just the first line running through my head forever!
