Just sayin’…
On a little more serious note, Liz of Pocket Farm, has a discussion on her blog about Victory Gardens. You don’t have to have a garden to put up food. You can scout out farmer’s markets, sales at the fruit stands, or a neighbor’s surplus from their gardens and trees. When I lived in a city apartment, I found mulberry and apple trees in abandoned lots and parks. The fruits made great pies and applesauce. It’s easy and rewarding. Do something simple to get yourself going.
This morning…HHH. Can you see the humidity?? It feels like July. Three nights ago it was 33 and I was worried about frost. Today…90’s! It’s a little too hot to want to stand over the stove with things bubblling in a pot.
After a flurry of emails with Ann, I’ve actually read the instructions fro what Su calls my Wool Paddler’s Shawl. I don’t think I’m that far off target. Since the pattern stitch is based on a 10 st +1 st. with a 4 row each side border, I will just continue with my garter stitich middle to give me an extra 20 sts. or about 4 inches. that’s what I’m thinking. It could change, I could start the lace and just do an extra repeat, that would look good, too. Check out Ann’s Wool Peddler’s Shawl. She’s further along.

Very good point about not needing a garden to put up food. Farmer’s markets are in cities & rural areas these days. That HHH is slowing my outdoor work. Yes, I can see your humidity.
What is that lovely looking concoction in the jar? And your wool peddler is looking good! I really enjoyed knitting mine and would actually like to make another for someone else, maybe my sister for Christmas. I’m excited to see yours when you’re done! 🙂
I’m nearing the end of Hanging Vines with your yarn…it is already feeling bitter sweet.
Hey the cordial looks great! I snitched some pears from the tree at the abandoned property on top of the mountain…a gal has to be resourceful!
