Happy Father's Day

IMG_3128 

It's a very warm day in Colorado.  We have a wildfire in northern Colorado where my parents live, they've been evacuated!  But so far, no fire near their house.  I hope you are all enjoying this day.  I'm looking forward to a little evening knitting, the last three rows on a beautiful shawl!

    I'm sure your Father felt the love yesterday and everyday, Karen! He sounds like a very special dad! I'm glad their house hasn't burned and sad for everyone else's that has. Hopefully the fire can get some containment soon!
    Cheers!

    I hope your parents are staying safe and they contain the fire soon! It's so sad how much damage has happened :(

    I'm looking forward to seeing your shawl!

    Hi Karen! Your parents house is okay, right? Hoping the fire kept it's distance!
    On a brighter note, do we get to see your finished shawl? I just started one this evening. Designing as I go! ;)

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."
