I really love this mellow little dewdrop baby. He has so completely captured my heart.My mother again taught me how to can fruit. I picked the apricots from my grandmother's tree on the Fourth.
The sock was frogged this morning because it's a wee bit small for the little girl who is growing like a weed. The yarn (hand-dyed by Ms. Stitch-n-Snitch and gifted to my mom) was leftover from my mom's first pair of socks. When the little girl saw her Meemaw's lovely socks, she had to have some too. I cast on for a bigger sock this afternoon.
The moth was discovered on an evening walk with the kids. Its wingspan was four inches across. S. refused to believe is wasn't a bird. I don't know what species it is though. Do you, Camilla?
There's been so much more, of course. My brother is visiting from New York for a whole month. I designed my first real sock pattern, and helped a friend get packed to move. Extra kids regularly invade the house and help track all the dirt in the backyard into the house. I dream about renewing my motorcycle license. And there's Farmers Market and yoga (yoga is the new knitting, by the way) and birthday parties and backyard dinners. And a lot of laundry.

You make my gifted yarn look so pretty! ;)
Canning fruit sounds like fun. One thing I will definitely get my grandmother or my aunt to do is to teach me how to make homemade jelly once we become neighbors.
It's so good to catch up with you. That babe is so cute...it was fab to you you both last night.
