Winding Down

Good Morning!

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!!

  1. Hello,
    The 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!

  3. Your 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.

  4. Yay, a Tyg photo! He looks quite bored, however, or maybe just tired from his escapades.

    Those tomatoes! I'd eat them like candy. So good! Enjoy your weekend.

  5. 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.

  9. Tyg 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.

  10. Hi 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.
    We 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
