Good Morning!
I hope you had a great weekend. Mine was soggy and chilly, but still good. Saturday was actually a very nice day (at least early on) and Fletch and I wandered out to Miller's Greenhouses in Collegeville - our favorite place to get plants. We got a lot! Yellow Squash, eggplants, tomatoes, a bunch of herbs and a bunch of flowers. Some catnip too, for Mabel.
We were also on cat duty while Colin & Mailing attended a wedding in Boston. The wedding sounded lovely. Colin texted that it was held in the courtyard of the Boston Public Library. Dinner afterwards was in an upstairs room at the library where the tables all had green lamps and the walls were lined with books. Upon leaving, there was a table with copies of seven or eight different popular books for guests to take. What a fun idea, huh?
I found time to stitch, knit and read each day which makes me happy. I did start a new pair of shortie socks to have something to work on when meeting up with Dee. Here is the start of the first one.
It's hard to see the colors clearly, but the cuff is a purple color (Zauberball Route 66) and then the heel flap and turn are in a gradient (Hidden Forest I think) - the same yarn I used to make my Odyssey shawl.
Today should be a fun one. My friend Carol is driving up from Maryland for a visit. We've been trying to get together for months to celebrate birthdays (her's was in January) and Christmas. Weather or doctor appointments or something has always delayed our plans. This week she was going to come up on Wednesday, but once again our forecast is for rain, so we switched her visit to today. I am so looking forward to seeing her - it has been over a year since we last got together!
Sounds like a lovely weekend Vera. Enjoy your time with your friend.
ReplyDeleteThat wedding sounds amazing -- perfect for book lovers! Seems like it was the weekend to get plants. I'm happy to report that I finally found an eggplant! It's the big kind, not Japanese, but I'm excited to see if I can grow some.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your visit with Carol!
What a great wedding idea! The socks look like they are off to a good start!!! I hope you had a good visit with your friend!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic weekend, Vera! Have fun with your friend today! I hope the weather is perfection for you! XO
ReplyDeleteA library wedding! That sounds dreamy to me. And so creative.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your visit with your good friend. (At last!)
I would love to attend a wedding like that! It sounds really lovely and quite original. I hope you and Carol have a wonderful visit. It's gray here but at least it's not raining.
ReplyDeleteRain, rain, rain....I know the plants need it but we could use a few days to dry out in between. Dry today. Rain tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteA wedding in a library does sound fun. I was wishing one of my kids would want to have theirs at a vineyard but noooo......
We were at various garden centres this weekend too - though I bought all flowers! I plan to direct sow some veg seeds (carrots, cucumbers, peas etc) this week.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a wonderful wedding.
Great sock start - I'm hoping to finish my pink ones tonight. I'm almost to the toe!
Hope your visit with your friend is great! I LOVE that idea for a wedding!! Sorry my blog is recalcitrant.
ReplyDeleteAhhhh, the reading room of the McKim Building at BPL. It's a gorgeous spot for a wedding! And very spendy, too.
ReplyDeleteI hope you had a nice visit with your friend. The wedding sounds just lovely. And I look forward to hearing more about all the plants.
ReplyDeletethe boston public library is beautiful!! It's so nice you can help them out with the cat while they are away. Lovely knitting!
ReplyDeleteOur plantings are scaled back this year, but as always, too many tomatoes. He found Park's Whopper this year and couldn't resist. But this constant rain for weeks created a mudhole, no idea when we could plant.
