Something Out of Nothing

By -



Isn't it amazing? We turn String into Sweaters, and shawls, and socks and scarves...

Do you compost? We only compost yard waste and vegetation, no food scraps. I am always amazed in the spring when the we have rich loamy soil to build our beds up with. In the space of our little compost pile we heap leaves and grasses. We leave Mother Nature to add the rain and warmth and then the magic happens.

Do you have bulbs blooming? I love my double bloom daffodils.

Work in Progress pictures tomorrow. I swear.

I wish I had a place in my yard that would work for a compost pile. :-(

Your double daffodil is beautiful!

I want to compost, but it never gets hot enough to kill the weed seeds, and that daffodil is as luscious as a peony! :)

Nothing blooming here, yet, but soon.

I would like to have a garden in the backyard, but it doesn't get enough sun for anything to grow.

We have a compost bin, but I forget to water it.

Beautiful bloom. Nothing in the woods, because the deer eat everything that buds before it can bloom.

Likewise, I keep meaning to compost, but never take that step.

We do compost and add food scraps as well. No meat however - it's not good. We also recycle. It's good for us as well. Sometimes the hubby will add a can of generic cola - the sugar helps break things down a bit faster.

Your flowers are lovely. It's about time to start thinking about what food to plant this year. g

No blooming but we have hummingbirds! Yesterday a wave of Rufous hummys came to our feeder several times. Love it!!

Yay compost! We are completely lazy about ours, it is 'cold' compost for sure.

And now you know just how far behind I am with my blog reading. I need to hurry and catch up so I know how everything is going.

Every Once in a While I Might Post

 Is that vague enough for you?  It has been a too busy complicated Spring.  I had no energy to blog.  All is well now, so I can share some things with you:   1. When I shoot photos of the moon I think of Dear Teresa.  Gone too soon. She took fabulous moon pictures.  2. I did not see one shooting star last night.  I only got up for a few moments around 3 a.m.  The local weather guy said he saw a few quick faint ones.   3. How can I can have one grown child in Oklahoma under flood watch, and One Child in Mexico under hurricane watch?  On the same day.  Tis true.  4. What have I knitted lately?  I am pretty sure I've ripped more than I've knit.  I ripped out a shawl that I was making up.  It was cotton and pretty.  I need to follow a pattern.  5. I was trying to make socks and decided to make mittens instead.  I haven't worked a thumb in a long time.  I may have to frog it too.  So I ha...

Dear buddy nurse and spay neuter pal Linda, came to visit yesterday.  We knitted. We laughed.  We shared books we are reading. She Showed me her scarf.  It looks like a shawl but it is a scarf. Here is her yarn choice. And the( OUCH) price.   It makes her happy to knit.  If Linda's happy I'm happy.  I dont' know the pattern and neither does she.  Her dog literally shredded her pattern.  She was at a point where she had memorized the easy part and she's nearly finished.  So there you go, anyone know the pattern? You are all so sweet about the move and the house. This morning I got my cuppa joe and headed to the porch to write you.  In the distance, my nearest neighbor, whom I can see through some trees.... well one of their teens came out, stretched, peed on their lawn casually, and then laid in his hammock for 5 minutes.  I'm sure he's not the first boy to do this.  I'm not even sure he's the...
