Spring again!





Okay, time to make it back to the blog that's been neglected forever!  Things have been going on, just not posted, so rather than play catch-up, we'll just pick up from here.


Just finished another small sweater for a small one, it was super simple fun to do kind of thing.  I do like mindless, since it's my normal state of being.

Bernat Baby Jaquards is always fun, less than 2 skeins, but since I was working out a somewhat color scheme, I pulled from 2 skeins.










I decided not to battle the deer this year, and surrendered to a postage stamp sized garden.  The deer are all wallowing merrily in the clover where our bigger garden would have been...the fat things!
We recently fenced in a backyard area in chain link..(how I've learned to love it!!) and it keeps tots in and away from bigger kids on swings and trampoline.  Keeps Sebastian and Cookie in too, more or less..with Cookie it's considerably less, but she doesn't wander.  She just squiggles under the gate and tags along anywhere we go.
Anyways..the garden..yes..well, there's always a corner of yard that's not used and that's where I parked the garden this year.  It's interesting..having to avoid hitting the electric and propane lines going into the house.  It'll do tho, and keeps me happy.  I even have an itty bitty gas powered cultivator, however I keep sinking it deep into the loamy soil and getting stuck.  That's a good thing.  Deep soft, rich soil.  Ten bags worth of garden soil tilled into it.  Sebastian likes it very much....Cookie swears her teddybear put him up to it...
