Sorry for the out-of-focus shot. We ate these while they were still sun-warm from the vines. One bite and they popped open with sweet, juicy flavor. && Did you see what Claudia raised on her MS ride? Knitters are amazing, even in a down year the donations came through. Congratulations to her and all the [...]

The weekend that is. My sister Gail came into town for the weekend so we made a jaunt up to the Iowa Sheep & Wool Festival on Saturday to spend the day among “our people”: others who can’t keep their hands to themselves when it comes to yarn and fiber and soft, squishy animals. As [...]
This little girl (boy?) is a Navajo Churro lamb. I wanted her for a pet but ended up with some of her wool instead. Where did I find her? At the Iowa Sheep and Wool Festival. One of my sisters and I spent the day wandering around there. We’re home now but too pooped to [...]
Want to see what’s in here? Do ya? Huh? I’ll show you. Absolutely nothing! Sell a little, knit a little, rearrange a little and pretty soon you have an empty stash tub. Whatever am I going to do with it? I could fill it with dirt and plant jalapeno peppers. I could turn it into [...]
Buzzzzzzzzy enjoying spring, hope you are too! There’s knitting going on, I’ll have something to show for it next week. I got tired of working on old projects and started something new. I’m liking it. And a little spinning but I only have undyed fiber so it’s boring. (I know! Let’s learn to dye next! [...]
Will you look at that. I do believe that’s a male indigo bunting. The first I’ve seen at my feeders ever. It’s been quite a year for backyard bird watching between the finches and the grosbeak and the rest of the colorful birds of spring. Of course it’s entirely possible this is a bluebird, which [...]
Yesterday’s goose encounter reminded me of this photo I took last month. I was putting my cart away after visiting a big box store and noticed orange cones up around an island in the parking lot. Mother Goose apparently took a liking to this tiny patch of dirt surrounded by acres of cement. Some generous [...]
Halfway. This is the Labyrinth Lace Shawl (Ravelry link) by Evelyn Clark. It’s a garter stitch shawl, knit point to point, with two increases every other row until you reach the widest — the halfway — point in the shawl and then you decrease two stitches every other row. I’m a little more than halfway [...]
Spring gardens with all their shades of green. It’s a little early here to do much planting, the nights are still getting down into the 30′s. But I don’t think I can wait much longer; the itch needs to be scratched. I’ve been out in my little patch cleaning things up. I put a new [...]

Feet! I’ve been fretting over getting behind on the ABC-along and then decided who needs guilt over the letters of the alphabet? Good grief. And as bad as the blue toe nails are above, I decided to spare you the photo of my blistered feet from my training-to-walk-a-marathon-days a few years ago. But only because [...]
