Porches, Pools, Produce and Production

 Little blind Pie is such a brave creature.  She was long-boarding on the porch yesterday...
  
 You know what I love to do more than swim in a pool?  I love to tread water. I can tread water in my neighbor's pool for over a half an hour without any trouble.  

 Myfitnesspal says I burn as many calories treading water as I do swimming.....
Do you believe that?  I'm not sure I do. 
This is the farmer's market tomato table.  What a welcome sight; locally grown tomatoes are fantastic.  
Oh -  this is the knitting that is happening around here.  Sock knitting is the best for me in summertime.  I'm keeping this pair.  It is COFFEE SHOP From Knitpicks and it knits like butter. I'm already on the toe of the first sock. 

Anything to add to my "P" theme today?

Pie is a little daredevil! I went to the farmers market this weekend too. It's one of my favorite places. DH says I am the only person he knows who could spend 3 hours at a farmers market.

I agree that you do use as many calories treading water as you do swimming, and lolling in the water is good for the soul!

Pie is SO cute! Love those new socks, Kathy. The Midwest has the best corn and tomatoes; we miss them!

You go, Pie! Such a cutie....
That pool photo is killing me. I am so hot and miserable and I am in the AC. I want to jump in that water soooooo bad.

As for P...., hmmmm. I have been watching non-stop baby coverage since 1 am so what else could I say but little Prince. Woo hoo!

Wow, the sock yarn colorway is yummy! I've got to look into that.

Nothing compares to home-grown tomatoes!

My "P" is "panic." I still have knitting to finish before the County Fair, and the entry day is TOMORROW - I hope I can get everything finished.

I love fresh, local tomatoes. Love the sock colorway too. Pie is fearless and cute!

I'm still waiting for pleasant weather. Does that fit your P theme?

Hmmm after telling you I was going to work on crocheting my shawl yesterday, Kathy, I didn't :(
So I guess my word is "procrastination."

 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...
