I So Want to Try This!

Beautiful Evening for a Bike Ride

"Can we have a Mama-Daughter bike?"

Usually this statement is followed by "and a trip to the playground?"

Yes to both!

The weather has been a challenge this summer.

It's been hot and rainy and hotter and hottest.

This week it seems to have run out of things to say and we had a beautiful 75 degree day.

The Elder is even wearing a sweater! albeit a short-sleeved one.

After our romp at the playground we toodled around the neighborhood and it was truly a perfect way to spend the evening.

I wonder how often these folks head to the bluff at sunset for yoga.

It was beautiful to watch. So peaceful.

Yarn Along

Yarn Along time again!
It seems appropriate to me that I am reading Giant, since my knitting project is also seeming quite giant right now.

The past few sweaters that I have made for myself have all been seamless, and I forget what it's like having pieces everywhere.

It is nice to have little portable pieces, I have been working on the collar during visits to the dentist this week and last and have made some nice progress there.

Not a lot new to report on the book or the knitting, just working my way through the middle chapters on both.

What are you knitting and reading today?

Perfect Afternoon

I wish we could spend every afternoon like this.

Their Waxen Thighs

The honey bags steal from the humble bees,

And for night-tapers crop their waxen thighs

And light them at the fiery glow-worms' eyes.

Titania - A Midsummer Night's Dream

Yarn Along

Hey friends, it's Yarn Along time!

I have been working away at Aeneas.

The back is about 3/4 finished, I had to rip back about 7 inches today because I realized I had been decreasing incorrectly. A little irritating, but not an insurmountable problem. Did I mention how much I like knitting on size 10 needles?

The other day the Elder and I caught Ramona and Beezus on TV. I was such a fan of the Ramona books when I was little that I was reluctant to see the movie, but it was sweet.

The Elder loved it so we decided to start reading some Ramona books together.

Over the years I have lost my copies of the books, so I popped into the bookstore next to my work and picked up a few. I hadn't ever read Beezus and Ramona so we're discovering that together.

I'm also still reading Giant, but only in paragraphs here and there.

What are you knitting and reading lately?

I love spending time with the people I have met while maintaining my little corner of the internet, both virtually and in person, and I thought I would let you all know that as I publish my 700th post.

Thanks for your visits and comments!
