July


Okay, I do still knit. I haven't shared very much of my work lately. Here is one. It's a Faroese Shawl which is made from the leftover yarn from last year's big project.
The Canada Lily plants in our yard did seem to enjoy the weather this year as well as the wild berries on our property. One of the lilies is over 6 feet tall and had 16 flowers on it.
The boys now play enjoyable music and that has been a fun thing for us as a family to listen to.
Here is our little blueberry picker checking out the early berries. By the next week the majority were ripe. Our summer has been different this year with the teens working 5 days a week at a garden center near us. They enjoy the work. Off they go in their little car in the mornings and back they come at lunchtime. We do our family activities in the afternoons mostly. Teens are a fun thing to have around the house! I miss them while they are away...of course I'm glad they are spreading their wings too.

Nice to see your blog updates. I should have sent the picture of you and your Mom by the Canada Lily for scale.

What a gorgeous shawl! Have you considered peddling your wares on etsy.com??? Although, after putting so much time and effort into a project, I would think it would be difficult to let it go. But for the right price...
