Now this is more like it!!!

The Mustard Seed has a Farmer's Market on Fridays and I brought the Grandchildren one Fri. for a visit to the donkeys/goats and chickens. We also have a great playground.

Well, that Friday a woman had a bevy of Pug puppies she was selling. Two different litters. There was one all black one but he must have been off somewhere when I took the photo. Josh was in heaven; Ellie was a little unsure and Logan was not going to get into that mess of puppies no way no how. You can just she his orange crocs at the top of the photo and that's as far as he got. He wears those crocs everywhere. I had a pug once (the pug from hell) and now I Know Why I bought her cuz they sure are cute when they are babies and at the time I needed to nurture something. This woman said, she thought I got a bad one. I sure did.

Now this weather is lovely. Carver has been hoppin downtown. They had several articles in several papers regarding their shops and people showed up in droves all three days. Wow! I met a new neighbor today too. Her house is on the Historic register and she has a gorgeous backyard. She had it open to the public today. She has Beautiful plants and she's a knitter.

I pulled out the yellow shell I was working on - it was too big, so I started a new one. I'm using some leftover Merlin for this cute Nymph Tee published in Winter 2008/spring 09 issue of Knitscene.

Its start a new project week. I started a pair of short socks from the Drops magazine No.111 using some self striping sock yarn I had. I'll get photos up eventually. Then I saw a great afghan on Mason Disxon blog. It's a moderne log cabin blanket. I loved it and found some Brown Sheep cotton I can use for it. I'm so all over the place right now. Reign me in somebody. My creative juices are flowing.

I just finished a great book called the Moonflower Vine by Jetta Carleton. It's a New York Times bestseller. The story is a rediscovered classic, unforgetable saga of the heartland families. It's a good read and tells the story of a family in western missouri during the first half of the twentieth century. How the bonds of love hold a family together through thick and thin.

That's what summer is about, reading, knitting (crafting), planting and enjoying these lazy days of which we have few.
