I haven't knitted or crocheted in a while as I've been working in the garden a lot. Keeping all the plants alive has been a challenge with the alternate hot/cold spells we've had this spring. We have a couple of stock tanks that catch rainwater so there has been much carrying of water in the heat and also of covering the plants with buckets for the really cold nights to keep them from freezing.
I've sewn a few things meantime. Goodman likes to wear one of this type of scrub hat thing under his work hats and they were getting old....
so I traced one for a pattern to .....
make five new ones for him; he's good for a while now.
If you've heard any news at all lately you've probably heard about all the storms the South has experienced the past few months. We were a few miles from a tornado when the wind blew the roof off our old goat house. This is one of the boards that held the roof on the structure. It was sticking up in the ground when I found it. I'm glad I was in the house when it speared the yard. o.O
welcome back! I, too, was on hiatus from blogging. been doing some crochet....
ReplyDeleteI am pea green all over with envy over your old-fashioned roses, Mum! They're lovely!
ReplyDeleteIt looks to me like your cabbage is doing very well in spite of the heat.
Hehe, wb to the world of unlimited info and endless annoying advertisements:)
Glad your back online! I know you've missed it. The flowers are beautiful!I had a Gone With the Wind flash back at Tanasigirl's comment, Lol! This weather! has a mind of its own these days, doesn't it? Looking forward to more posts
ReplyDeleteGlad you are back on-line for real :) I can smell your beautiful roses right through my computer! We had similar ones in my backyard growing up in Boston. Aren't you clever to make up your own pattern for the scrub hats. They are fabulous! Thank goodness no one was hurt in your storm. It is awful to see all the devastation from the tornadoes. My heart goes out to all those poor people affected. Please stay safe. Seems like it's a bad year so far everywhere. Hope it stops soon.
ReplyDeleteWow that is so scary I was wondering how you were doing. Love all of your gardening pictures. Those scrub hats are cute. ;)
