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?

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!

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."
