Well, where have I been?

Boy it's been a month since I blogged. Sorry about that - it's just been really busy right now. I am currently in New Prague just on Wednesdays until July.

I've been working on my gardens and some unfinished projects. I am making a circular sweater for Ellie out of Pink and Green and it's really cute except I had to rip it out and start over because I don't think I got enough increases in there to make it lay flat - She won't wear it until Fall so I have lots of time.

I have no photos (except this one)at this time due to a camera problem. This time of year makes me want to dye colors because every where I look there is color and I can envision it in a yarn or roving. The one photo I have is this lovely roving - I haven't had time to spin up a sample but it is inviting!

I have enjoyed working a couple part time jobs this summer. Both involve driving in the farm country. I pass by this one farm every time I go to New Prague - it has a gorgeous horse that lazily walks around their big property. This spring part of it flooded and I didn't see the horse for awhile. Last week I caught "Horse" laying at the edge of the newly developed pond with his head up and looking around and then he rolled over with legs in the air to one side and back again. Put his head up and looked around like, "did anybody see that". He was cooling off and taking a bath. I also have seen "Turkey Vultures" on my way to Waconia. Huge birds with brown and white spots, looks kind of like a large turkey with a long vulture like neck. They were feeding on a dead possum. I really enjoy the rolling farm fields and the great patterns they make in the soil.

The one thing I don't enjoy is BATS. Another one came flying through the living room a couple weeks ago, I covered my head with a blanket and went screaming around the living room until I accidentally trapped it in my office. I had my friend go in there every day looking for that Bat and he could not be found. Finally, I gave up and went to work on my computer again and there it was, still alive, in the bottom of my black wastebasket. My friend came over and disposed of it. YUKKKKKK!

Enjoy your summer. I have some great new cotton yarns and am working up a cute summer shell out of BERROCO WEEKEND - GREAT YARDAGE FOR A GREAT PRICE! I also got the Berroco Sox in several colors - love it.
