Summer afternoon - Summer afternoon... the two most beautiful words in the English language. - - - Henry James

I looked at the calendar today and it told me that it’s still spring. The calendar is wrong, though. Summer is definitely here.

How do I know?

Laundry drying in the breeze:

Bare feet:

Dogs digging holes:

And the dirty paws to prove it:

The furry kids enjoying the day:

I picked this up on Craig’s List for $15:

doghouse 5/21/06


As expected, no one has used it yet, but for $15, it’s worth it as outside toy storage.


A pair of socks is finished!

Plum socks


What: Plum socks
Yarn: KnitPicks Parade in Plum
Needles: 2
Pattern: Basic cuff down in stockinette stitch. 58 stitches, with heel on 29.
Lesson Learned: I lengthened the heel by adding more knit rows between decreases. Also, don’t decrease so much, or the heel gets pointy!
Destination: My feet!!

The next pair of socks is halfway done:

purple yellow sock one

Can you stand even more canine cuteness?

Hey,hey,hey, Lisa...I did get mine updated. Great puppy shots, Mira can't wait to meet your kids.

Another sign of summer, thinking about cotton yarn.

Those are happy, happy dogs. Is there a better thing to see than that?

So how short was the sock once the heel was done? :)

Very cute puppy pictures.

Great Socks Kathy. My fur kid loves digging holes two, actually he loves making holes then covering them back up. :)

Shaved legs? Darn, I knew I was forgetting something! Need to get to it right away. Great socks!

oh my - all of my favorite summer things all in one place! (sheets dried in the sun is something I look forward to every.single.year!)
The dogs are adorable (as usual) and I love the sleeping on scooby picture.

(the socks look great - I love the yarn too, it wears like iron!)
