at the table

Those sunflowers! Especially the deep red ones. We planted ours late so no blooms yet but they are growing taller every day. Our first year with a yard/garden of our own. Just the sunflowers. And some pumpkins. And a lot of invasive species clearing. Next year, a wee veggie garden. I think we can do it :)

Birthday Blanket I began knitting a baby blanket for Nicolas sometime before he was born. And then I stopped knitting a baby blanket for Nicolas sometime before he was born. I am not the fastest knitter, nor the most dedicated, and the project was sadly abandoned two thirds of the way through. ...
