Harvest Day

Today was harvest day, we pulled onion and beets and dug potatoes. Due to the wacky weather we have had, and the lack of care our garden received this year harvest wasn't as good as we would have liked. However, we did manage to get enough onions, potatoes and beets.

I had a little help with the onion harvest. She decided that the sun was just much too bright and thought that Ama's garden hat would be a great solution to the problem.

Sami the cat thought maybe beets would be okay...but then again maybe not.

As I was making pickled beets, and they were staining my hands a wonderful dark pink color, I couldn't help but think what a wonderful color that would be for dyeing some roving.

Ah...perhaps another day.

Blogging Virgin

This is my first attempt at blogging soo........I'm sure things will get much better. :-)

Today here in south central Wisconsin things are hot and sticky. Great for the garden, not so great for humans and animals. Chickens are hanging out in the holes they have dug for themselves, and the dogs and cat are hanging out with the humans in the AC.

Knitting group meets at 1:00 today, so I get to see what wonderful creations everyone has been working on. If you ever loose your knitting "mojo", meeting with a group of creative knitters will give you the inspiration and boost that you need to get back on the needles again.
