Summer produce

Just picked last night!

The ones on the right are heirloom beans! Purple and cream!

Well the garden is booming - it may have been hot and rainy but it sure is good for the garden!  Flower are flowing everywhere.  I love it., except for the weeds.

I'm knitting away on all my unfinished projects - when I get bored with one, I pick up the other.  I'm hoping to finish Ellie's socks this week for her birthday.  I'm trying to organize and clean the house this month.  Do catch up on all those projects while hoping for a new job soon.

Soon I will be cutting down the tree that I look at everyday outside my office window.  It's more than half dead but the part that faces me is still living and I love watching the birds, squirrels and rabbits run around it.  It needs to come down and soon.!

Sister is arriving in August and we will go to the lake cabin for a few days before Ellie's birthday.  I'm looking forward to getting away for a few days.  Which, reminds me, I'll have to board the dog.

It's been a crazy week.  One friend thinks she broke her leg while picking berries in the garden - I hope it was a muscle or tendon but at any rate she's out of commission for awhile, another found a lump in her breast and needs to deal with that next week, and then it's my situation.  I'm going to be closing my location in New Prague this month.  It's been a great time, but sales are not picking up as expected so I need to close and move on.  I will continue to do my knitting/spinning groups and teach but just not have a retail shop.  I really need to work full time and not have the distraction of running a retail business.  This has been a tough decision but it has to be done.

HOWEVER, This is not as difficult to deal with as is breast cancer and a broken leg!  As I am out of a job right now I can support these two friends and feel helpful to them.  I will be okay!
