Good Morning All,
It's a mild morning. I woke up too warm this morning...thinking it would be cool overnight I lowered the back window in the bedroom and threw an extra blanket on the bed. Oh well, at least I slept well. We have rain in the forecast for later today and then, I think, heavy tonight.
Our Iris have started to bloom and they are gorgeous!
Even though Kat is taking a bit of a blogging break, I still want to post about knitting and reading for an Unraveled Wednesday post. My first Mountain House Winter (Fibernymph Dyeworks) sock is progressing.
I'm a little over 2/3 of the way down the leg and should get to the heel flap soon. This is what I knit when I go over to feed Talbot. Yesterday I only got 5 rows completed, but some days I'm able to get 12 or 15 done.
Yesterday was a little busy at the Wu-Lane house. Talbot had a bit of an "issue" on the office room couch - not sure if it was a hairball or something (....) else. But I cleaned that up and then scrubbed the cushion a bit. I'm afraid the cushion might be a bit stained. After that I checked on seedlings that Colin has started (cucumber, tomatillo, cantaloup and cherry tomato). He has trays in the office room window and also in the upstairs bedroom window. They all got a good spritzing. I'll water house plants today. I remembered to get the trash cans out for pick up today. Anyway, all that left less time for knitting.
Reading has been a little slower. I did finish The Patriarch by Martin Walker. This is another Bruno, Chief of Police book. This series is such a pleasure to read. Yes, a murder, but plenty of talk about food and wine and life in the French countryside. When I spoke with one of my brothers last week, it was ironic to discover that we were reading the same book!
Time for me to get moving. I promised Fletch blueberry pancakes this morning, so I need to mix up the batter for those. Wishing you all a lovely Wednesday!
what pretty striping! our irises have started to bloom as well!
ReplyDeleteThat sock is growing quickly! I hope Talbot is feeling better. We're getting heavy rain here today (of course the rain is most likely when I'd be out running and taking Ruthie for a walk), so I imagine you'll get it tonight. Enjoy those pancakes!
ReplyDeleteYour iris are lovely and so is that sock! You are also a fine house-sitter. C&M are lucky that you live nearby (Talbot, too!)
ReplyDeleteLove those stripes on the sock, Vera. You're making great progress while you care for Talbot . . . and the plants. Thanks for sharing your iris. I always love iris blooms. I have a small clump in my garden, and they always delight. But they won't be blooming for a while yet -- so I'll just enjoy yours for the time being.
