Crocheting a rag rug. This project is on hold for now. I am having to use all my spare sheets and pillow cases to cover my asparagus, rhubarb, etc. We had another freeze/frost warning. Once the cold wave passes, I'll make more strips of old sheets to finish this rug. Knitting a dishcloth in red/white and blue. A set of pot holders. Sorry for the bad photo.Off the hook. . . A new dishcloth pattern. I learned the waffle stitch this year, which is very easy to do. I however, feel this is way too thick for a dishcloth.

Hi friends! Happy Monday which feels like pretty much every other day around here. I hope you had an enjoyable weekend and those who were celebrating Mother’s Day enjoyed a relaxing day. I feel like this whole experience has been difficult in general, so I wanted to add a little note here for those who were struggling this holiday; I’m holding you in my heart.

I haven’t had North in SO long and it was sooooo good. It’s modern Italian food with a focus on fresh and...
A new study released by Northwestern University concludes that vitamin D may be an essential weapon to protect yourself from the coronavirus. According to researchers, lower vitamin D levels significantly increase the likelihood that an infected person will develop severe symptoms and complications.

For this reason,...

Three hours of work, but it doesn't look like much. That pea fence is about 40 feet long. We got started, so that feels good.(wind damage)Wind kicked up to a nasty speed, so we quit for the day. We'll resume again today. Our frost warning for tonight is now a freeze warning. Not the kind of May weather we normally have. I can't believe we are having this cold weather right now.Tonight we hit a possible low of 28°F. Unheard of for May. My chicks need to be re-homed to the barn, but now I cannot do that until possible next Wed. thanks to the weather. They are out growing their home indoors. I'll be covering my rhubarb, garlic, asparagus,...
