Garden, Handiwork and Family


. . . planted peas late last night, rain is due tonight.



. . . started yet another new project.  This one is for my youngest daughter.  I'll post an update when it's finished.



 . . . on my 3rd skein of yarn, crocheting my shawl.



. . . checked these books out from the library.  When our egg production increases, I hope to share our reviews on some of these recipes.  I think I may even invest in buying the book on vegetables.

 . . . put up an inexpensive net for badminton and volleyball net.  Future plans are to install 2 - 4 x 4's with eye screws in the future.

. . . our 13 year-old earned two 1's as scores on her choir contest pieces.

. . . Jesse (youngest dog) goes in for surgery today.
