You know what? I'm a bit stumped on how to start this blog post. Life stuff got busy and I forgot to write anything. When I remembered "oh, I need to write something." I promptly got busy with life stuff again, and forgot to write. How funny is that?
When I saw I had two flosstube shownote blog posts in a row, I knew I needed to do something.
Then I got stuck on how far back should I go? Do I write a book or do I condense it down?
I don't know. ...
Okay.
Fishing season has officially started. Hooray!
We haven't been out as much as we'd like, thanks to the wind. But on the days we have gotten out and on the lake ...
Beautiful skies.
I enjoyed a nice Mother's Day.
A "Fancy" breakfast of French toast, sliced strawberries and homemade whipped cream. I spent my breakfast time with Elizabeth Zimmerman, trying to decide if I wanted to attempt one of her patterns that are written in her conversational way. I don't know that I'm up to it. Still. I've had those books for more than 15 years.
My hummingbird friend returned. She (or he) buzzed me one day when I was out in the garden area. I knew that was the command to fill the hummingbird feeder.
I even made sauerkraut one day.
When I first started making kraut I used to slice and chop it all by hand.
Not anymore. I use my little chopper.
This batch is still percolating.
At some point I went out to the she shed and did a tidy up. You'll likely never see it is this tidy again.
As I told a friend, you wouldn't believe all that is squirreled away in the she shed.
And if you couldn't tell, the weather turned nice. Finally. This past Sunday (I think it was) we had a fire in the woodstove, and by bedtime we had all the windows open, wondering when it was going to cool down. It was quite the temperature swing.
I mentioned on my last flosstube that my son has an outdoor project he's worked on for the last several years. ... the weather and the rain caused his grass seed to sprout and grow.
The girls are loving the grass and the nice weather. Egg production has increased a bit.
I've started planting!
Yes, it's true!
Slow but surely, it will get put in. So far it's mostly flowers I've put in containers. I've started working on a garden journal video and hopefully it will be posted this week.
This past weekend was Memorial weekend. We were to have company come up. The visit was canceled almost at the last minute, for very good and understandable reasons. A bummer, but my hubby and I managed to still enjoy the weekend, once the weather went from rainy and crappy, to *OH WOW it's warm out there!"
On Monday, when we were out on the lake, we saw two bald eagles. It was a very cool experience to see them.
I'm guessing they were not a bonded pair because someone has to be with any eaglets they may have, right?
Of course I've been crafting. Here's a couple photos from the last few weeks. If you want to see almost the most up-to-date, you need to watch my flosstube!
I will share that I finished the second vanilla sock. Yay!
Today was back to work. I would have really loved to have had one more day off work. Oh well. There's always next weekend, right?
