Northfield Farmers' Market Saturday

By -


Have you tried the new hybrid corn?  SU, SE and SH2 genes were brought together for an amazing sweet corn.  
Being a NICU nurse I see genetics in line and out of line and the like.  I wish we had a genetically engineered nurse.  She would stay awake easier, always look to families compassionately, and be able to see veins with a single glance.  

The Cheese Table at the Northfield Illinois Farmers' Market is already perfection. Blue Moon goat cheese, how I love thee.  

My baby blanket is a breeze.  I will show it to you after the Workend.  Garter stitch galore.

(If any of you want to follow Zach's blog while he is in Mexico, I'll send you a link) 
He has the writing gene......

I love the bouquet of flowers - zinnas and cosmos just scream late summer to me and bring back a lot of wonderful childhood memories.

How blessed you are to have such a wonderful farmer's market! The one we have here in summer only sports a few local grown veggies, and it is already closed for the season. Not much can survive the heat we have going on in late-July and August.

And flowers... WONDERFUL! We don't have those at all at our tiny market! And your cheese picture has flung craving on me!!

I love visiting farmer's markets when we travel. A great way to get to know the area. My favourite one is in Bellingham, WA.

Aren't Farmer's Markets great? We just went to one in Mt. Vernon, WA, yesterday, and then to a great knit shop also...all before walking down to the beach at Deception Pass. A really fun day.

Still laughing at your ideal nurse..I'd sure vote for the vein quality!

We never miss the farmer's market in Holland Michigan when we vacation each summer. I just love the fresh produce and the abundance of bouquets...Someone always has the most amazing dahlia's.

The nearly Thousandth post Contest

(just another baby legging in the image. Using my socks yarns a little differently) I think that blogger may not have correctly counted all the posts I've written. I've been posting since 2004 so I guess it is possible. I'm not going to go back and count them all. It says this is post 987. So we'll go with it. Im having a little contest for the milestone, but I have had writer's block since I decided on the 1000th post contest. So to take the pressure off, we are just going to do this now. :) I get crazy with pressure around events of all kinds. I just do. To enter: Please please please only leave a comment about this post on this post. Im much too flakey to search around differnt posts, afterall there are nearly a thousand (did I mention that number already? sorry....) Leave a comment telling me anything about Lace. If you dn't know anything about Lace, ask someone and share their knowledge. Do tell us who gave you this lace advice, to make it f...

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...
