Simply Saturday
I promised you knitting and it follows shortly.
The plums for plum cobbler looked even more lovely drenched in brown sugar. A simple cobbler is often our most favorite dessert.
Fresh garden goods thrown together with balsamic vinegar and oil...and fresh oregano..
It popped in your mouth. MMMMMM.
I highly recommend growing your own oregano.
It is nothing like the dried bitter stuff that comes out of the spice aisle in the store.
Mine grows very slowly...but it is simply wonderful.
Finally: the simplest of shawls. Miles and miles of knit stitch. Simple knitting.
I Simply couldn't put this yarn on my feet.
It is not itchy in the least.
So often I knit myself a shawl and it
itches...
This is the gift yarn from Channon.
It is a simple joy for me to pick up the needles and relax immediately.
and on that note:
- Simple Simon met a pieman,
- Going to the fair;
- Says Simple Simon to the pieman,
- Let me taste your ware.
- Says the pieman to Simple Simon,
- Show me first your penny;
- Says Simple Simon to the pieman,
- Indeed I have not any.
- Simple Simon went a-fishing,
- For to catch a whale;
- All the water he had got,
- Was in his mother's pail.
- Simple Simon went to look
- If plums grew on a thistle;
- He pricked his fingers very much,
- Which made poor Simon whistle.[1]

I want to try pumpkins next year too. Last year I started making my own pumpkin puree. It is WONDERFUL. Now I want to make my own PUMPKINS!
We have grown pumpkins too. It is great fun to use them for Jack o lanterns. I love the look of the pumpkins in the garden on the vine come september!
BOO!
Beautiful colors on the shawl you're knitting!
Zach: THANKS for the comments and compliments!
THey will get you far
I grow my own herbs too and there is no comparison to the dried. It's the smell of summer around here. Those plum look so yummy. I can't find good ones around here. They are all hard and bitter.
I love the colors in your yarn and your shawl will be gorgeous. I can't wait to see it finished!
hugs,
Meredith
Totally agree about the oregano :)
