I have no idea what I planted. After moving into our new home in November I hastily tossed out some wildflower seeds, but can’t for the life of me rememember what I planted (or how to spell remember). My peach trees have begun to blossom and these mystery seedlings are sprouting up where I sprinkled them.
I’ve been working on my lace stole, but have been distracted by a couple washcloths and “Lopi Lace Scarf” from Weekend Knitting. I’m knitting it with Cascade Pastaza…50% Llama / 50% Wool. I’m considering getting some chickens, but I’m afraid of birds. I am seriously considering a worm composter since my dog Callie will most likely view a traditional compost heap as a buffet.

Callie Jo
I just realized that I never posted a pic of Caledonia (Callie). DH was chosen by her at our local Humane Society a little over 2 months ago when we moved into our home. She’s an 8 month-old Catahoula mix. She’s the sweetest ever and Roscoe loves her too.
Sweet Bean
This week I had to assist my sweet kitty Bean into one of her other 9 lives. It’s such a hard decision to reach, I can only take comfort in the fact that she was ready, very ready and finally out of pain. She is missed, I cried a little on Friday at the grocery store when I turned down the pet food aisle and didn’t need to reach for the Fancy Feast. Noodle seemed depressed, but is returning to his carefree self.
I’m hemming and hawing about what to do with my quiet Sunday morning, the husband is on a bike ride. I used to have the mornings and most of the day to myself before I got the 9-5 gig. I miss them. I’ve spent an hour out back drinking coffee and knitting…just 3 skeins away from finishing one of the 2 baby blankets I need to whip up this summer. What I really need to be doing is ripping up the crispy remnants of the beautiful wildflower garden I had this spring. There are still some bright flowers, but they are looking sad in the garden that is now sadlt a fire hazard. My tomato plants are giant…I wasn’t planning for such giantness and must remember to build better cages next year. I finished Grace’s baby poncho yesterday…uhmm, it’s a little more freeform than I had planned. Good thing I decided to experiment and fuck up on a small scale. You really need to expect plan for the FUs…it’s much easier.
Well, I have an hour to wash my ass and get to church. Then to my LYS.
