High Park Fire

untitled 

 If you've been following the High Park Fire in Colorado, here are pictures my dad took.  This first is a view of their house from the fire line.  I know it's small, these are my dad's pics.  If you click through to Flickr, you can see my tags.

The second, below, is the view from their front porch.  For some of my old pictures of their house / property click here.

    Wow -- that's WAY too close for comfort. I've been seeing pictures from the Colorado Springs fire -- what an awful summer this year!

    My thoughts are with your family and the community. So sad to see the pictures and the devastation. Glad your Dad is ok.

    The firefighters did such a wonderful job protecting homes. When those dry winds picked up it was dicey. So glad they are safe. Thank you for sharing the pictures.

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."
