Girlie Socks

Latest socks to be coming off the needles this weekend. They will be
sent off to the store for sale ($15). Proceeds are going toward a new
spinning wheel and a portion also goes toward philanthropic knitting
such as Knitting for Noggins and Warm Up America.

Learning to Fillet

Grampa Kyle teaches Julius how to fillet catfish.

The Big Catch

Julius caught two fish at the derby.

Fishing

We're at the fishing derby at the summer festival. Julius has caught
two fish!

Current project

Working on some arm warmers, custom job, in an adorable blue tweed.

My first thumb gusset... I totally rocked it. Go me!

Big moth

I don't know what this thing is but it's HUGE. I wish you could see it
in context. It would easily cover the palm of my hand.

Five

At Doctor

We got smart finally and brought our own toys. Tristan is getting his
tonsils checked out. He stops breathing in his sleep so we are worried
about sleep apnea.

Groovy Baby

The boys are watching the bees work on the clover.

Blueberries

Blueberries from the farmer's market. Yum...

Budget Gardening

This is what happens when your gardener works for free. These poor
plants are dying in our lobby because nobody will put them in the
ground. And to top it off she stole my pepper plant. Moms... Can't
live with 'em, can't be born without 'em.

By the Side of the Road

These lillies were by the side of the road where I was traveling
earlier today. I think it's wonderful that you can just drive down a
country road and find this kind of fabulousness that doesn't belong to
anyone but nature. To all of us, really.

Reading

Hanging out by the pool in the paralytic heat, playing lifeguard for
the kids. They are making claims of recluse spiders with their babies,
bugs that bite andhorseflies. If it's that terrible, I don't
understand why they keep insisting on going in there.
