Woke at 1 a.m. to a loud thunderstorm and plenty of rain. It sounded so nice. Once again I was sleeping with the windows open and the AC off. I love it! This morning is damp and overcast. We may get a bit more rain.
Meanwhile, I managed to turn the heel on Tomfoolery #2 and start down the foot. I think I'm around a third of the way down the foot, so it won't be long now till it's finished.
And look who was trying to help! It's been months since Tyg has kept me company while I knit or stitch, but the last two nights have found him inside for a few hours before I go to bed. It's been nice to have him around again. He still goes out to spend the night outside, but every morning he is curled up on one of the chairs on our patio, waiting for me to come down and let him in.
We just had some leftovers for dinner last night (potato salad and chicken salad I had made earlier in the week). But before dinner, we went out to the garden. I picked some of our Sun Gold cherry tomatoes:
So yummy!
And Fletch dug up some Yukon Gold potatoes since the plant was beginning to die.
I'll have to steam up some of these this weekend!
Home-made pizza is on the menu for tonight and will include both onions and eggplant from our garden. Of course that means having the oven on high again....oh well, it should be worth it.
I'm happy it's Friday and after my 10:00 conference call I will slip into weekend mode. Wishing you all a very pleasant weekend - enjoy!!
Hello,
ReplyDeleteThe socks are looking great and it is nice to see Tyg in the photo too. The tomatoes and potatoes look delicious. I have never tried to grow potatoes, maybe next year. Enjoy your day, have a happy weekend!
That is a great knitting photo along with ones of your garden produce! I'm glad weekend mode is coming early and I hope it's a good one!
ReplyDeleteYour tomatoes look so good! We ate our first one yesterday because it was starting to split. We either have too much water or not enough. I can't get it right. I am happy to have a rainy day today. I like it better when Mother Nature does the watering. I apparently stink at it.
ReplyDeleteYay, a Tyg photo! He looks quite bored, however, or maybe just tired from his escapades.
ReplyDeleteThose tomatoes! I'd eat them like candy. So good! Enjoy your weekend.
It’s overcast and misty in my area. A soft drizzly rain during the night was much nicer than the fast and furious storm yesterday. Nice that Tyg is your knitting companion once more.
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a great weekend! We have not had one thunderstorm this week... it's needed. I will be hiding in the house knitting and reading :)
ReplyDeleteThat yarn is beautiful. I made chicken salad this week and added fresh mango and red onions - so good!
ReplyDeleteTyg and Relic have opposite schedules - Relic is outside all day, but in usually by 10 pm. HE sleeps on our blanket box at the end of the bed until Dave gets up at 8, then it's back out for another day in the sun.
ReplyDeleteHi Tyg. It's good to see him today. I love yukon gold potatoes but for some reason they have went WAY up in price recently. They have been burying huge piles of potatoes in Idaho because they can't get them to the vendors because of COVID.
ReplyDeleteWe had BBQ pork chops, caesar salad and a pasta salad. Perfect for a hot day because nothing was cooked inside. I had made the pasta salad early in the morning while it was in the 50's.
Have a great Friday Vera.
Blessings,
Betsy
I'm somewhat overrun this year with my jellybean tomatoes..what are you doing with all of yours? Inquiring minds want to know!!!
ReplyDeletewow you have a lot more cherry tomatoes than I DO !
ReplyDeleteHave a happy weekend. I'm sure you will with pizza and home grown goodies and a sock to finish. ((hugs)), Teresa :-)
ReplyDeleteWe had homemade pizza for dinner last night, too! Your socks look great and nice that they are the same color as your tomatoes!!!
ReplyDeleteYour pie from yesterday's post looked delicious. Tyg is adorable. Have a wonderful weekend, stay safe.
ReplyDeleteI hope you've had some good sleep this weekend ... and maybe finished that 2nd sock! I love the yarn haul from LAST weekend and look forward to seeing a new pair on the needles!
ReplyDeleteI have read that book about the birch bark canoe. Isn't it interesting? Your garden harvest is bountiful. Enjoy.
