Anzula
Trunk Show today at Three Bags Full in Northbrook from 12-3

Anzula sells luxury yarns - many contain some cashmere content.

A friend gave me garlic to plant last fall.
Here's my crop! 
They were insanely easy to grow. 
I planted them among the roses and read that helps keep beetles away.  

You can smell the garlic as soon as you dig it up. 
I also have chives that are going like crazy near the roses. 

Apparently there is a garlic soup recipe….
have you ever???

Your garlic looks great. I have had roasted garlic buds and loved them, but never garlic soup.

Mmmm....I like garlic in just about anything. My lentil soup is really just garlic and a handful of lentils.

I was just talking to a friend about growing some garlic - I guess this is a sign that I should just do it!

That garlic looks so yummy! I love garlicky chicken, and there are a ton of recipes out there.

I've never had a "garlic soup" but I've had one with lots of garlic, so I'd be game!

You know I'm a fan of the garlic herb compound butter. You can store it in the fridge and freezer for ages. a pat of happiness whenever you need it, and good for a quick makeshift garlic bread :)

Think I'll take a pass on the garlic soup.

Love garlic in my food, but not so sure about having it as the major flavor.

How was your home-grown garlic? Strong? Mild?

The Knight tried to garden a couple of times early in our married life, but the ground here only grows rocks and roses.

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 their boy.  Insufficient inf

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 have been knitting, but not making things.  6. MY gardens are growing.  I have 3 main areas I
