Today is an excellent day for sitting the air conditioning, sipping iced tea, and reading a good book. Unfortunately, I'm rather fond of finishing my to-do lists, and those things are not on the agenda. Drat. Tomorrow may come a bit closer, as I will be gadding around the county and unable to work on the normal to-dos.
Here, we have a sample (admittedly, the worst one) of a portion of our 'turf restoration'. For spraying seed in November, it's pretty bad. For spraying seed in June, it's not that great. Although it wasn't the fault of the landscape guys that they sprayed the seed the day before or morning of a nice 5+ inch rainstorm. And that much of the seed washed away into my newly mulched flower beds.
I finally finished the socks I started during Canis's second surgery. They're for me, I think, and I rather like them. I'm having doubts about using superwash and non-superwash wools in the same item, though. What was I thinking? Time will tell. The current projects are felted clogs. One pair for Filius is done and felted and too big, one pair for Mom is knitted and not felted, and today I hope to cast on a smaller pair for Filius. My pair is on hold until I get the yarn for the upper. Three soles are done for mine, though!
Here, we have an unusual picture. In the 6 years we've had Canis, he has Never Once took a nap while touching another dog. He'd rather not touch another person, either. He likes his space. Unless there are food dishes being filled, and then he will do whatever is necessary to get into the proper spot to watch. But yesterday, after he came in from his rounds, he sacked out TOUCHING mom's dog. (The floor fan is about 3 feet away from the other dog's nose, off towards 2 o'clock.)
In other news, life is busy, I made another 3 pints of bread and butter pickles, a quart of pickled onions, and have 4 pounds of cucumbers sitting downstairs that I picked today. Time to go figure out what to make!
