What a day for a day dream.....it was that kind of day today. I love Minnesota!

I worked in the garden most of the day! This is my tea cup filled with a viola. I bought a couple tea cups today at the Antique shop in Carver to make a couple more of these. I think they are so sweet.

I pulled weeds, dumped mulch, replanted some things that were in the wrong place, made a hanging basket, planted some garlic, corralled some Daisys in a fence. and pulled more weeds. It's tough but I had to do it, it was too nice to be inside. Cally took a couple baths in the sprinkler. She doesn't like the bugs so she gets wet. Smart dog!

I came in just in time for lunch and decided to sew my lace curtains for the kitchen real quick. I have some for the dining room too but the rod is too short so it will have to wait until tomorrow. I'll show the finished product later.

I headed over to hirschfields to get paint for the upstairs. I think I got the color. Now I have to try it out and see what it looks like on the wall. I have to get it done by the end of July cuz sister is coming to visit.

Went to see Josh and Ellie on Thursday night. They were in their pjs and running outside to greet me. Ellie had on her santa fleece pjs. I thought she would roast during the night. We sat down and ready Richard Scarrey. They are so cute, they cuddle right up and before I knew it Josh was holding my hand. He is so sweet!!!

Met Dano and Jenna for dinner Friday night at Maude's. I had the Quail, which was good, but there is not much meat on those little birds. Therefore, I figured I could have dessert which was three chocolate chips cookies warmed with a glass of vanilla ice cream. Perfect. Time for bed.

Dano has moved into his house and finds it good except there are people over all the time and he likes his own time. He's hoping when school starts it won't be quite so busy. Jenna is doing great, has a mentor and is working a volunteer position right now learning how to write grants and all sorts of great stuff. She loves it and seems envigorated.

I'm still working on the afghan and Ellies dress. Haven't had time to dig out the Karabella yet. I'm so busy outside it's hard to knit. I took Cally for a walk to downtown Carver today. Such a quaint little town. It was a beautiful walk, but climbing back up the hill told me I'm out of shape, the dog was too. We were both huffing and puffing our way home.

Enjoy the summer weather
