Progress

I am spending more time gardening and watering my vegetable garden. I have to admit that my harvest in the past just feeds the four of us.  ( One meal !)   Deer and slugs are getting a healthy meal from my garden way before I get my hands on it. I always admire the ads for gardeners picking chunky and meaty tomatoes. That never happened to me, so I decided to have two plots right outside my front door.


Kitchen gardens!
I call it my humble vegetable plot.


The flower boxes were done, sunflower seeds went into the ground where I had space and after tilting a big patch for potatoes every bone in my body was aching.
My hexagon blanket made a big progress and I love what I see so far. All single flower hexagons are crochet together and I am working on my border. I will post my finished retro throw next week.

We are not melting....

 Today I was stopping at a garage sale. These snowmen are not running from the heat. The barometer hit 30°C which equals 86°F.

I am back again

I can't believe that I managed to retrieve my blog since blogger changed the format. I was absent for 3 weeks  and couldn't sign in again .Several times I changed my passwords and as my friend Nancy says have  your little red book with all your codes and passwords. It's true, we think we will remember but the chance of forgetting is there. Since my last post my husband is doing just fine and your heartfelt thank you notes meant a lot to me. I also realized how therapeutic crocheting was during that time and my hexagon flowers are growing a on a bed of moss. I finished around 100 and placed them on a moos carpet at our cottage. Just the look of it made my heart jump.
