Summer


Not much knitting has been going on for a long time now, so I got to feeling a little guilty about that last week. I have been sewing a lot, but after all, A does need new socks now and then, so I got out a poor neglected pair that have been on the needles for about a year. I am knitting both socks at once, and I will never do that again because it is soooooo boring. It makes everything seem to take twice as long, because it does. While I am trying to resurrect the knitting mojo, I have been working in the garden. We had a long cold spring, so the garden wasn't started until late in the season, but it is coming along fine now. Today I picked a lot of summer squash, two tomatoes, and basil.

I've been trying to get a variety of poppy colors in the yard, and this is the prettiest one I have ever grown. Most of the others are orange or yellow, but there is the occasional white or red orange plant.
