Playground pow-wow

Perhaps the big boys are talking about keeping the little boys off the playground equipment?

On Sunday, we worked to unload and cut some big ol' chunks of a fir trunk Rick had brought home from a client's. Green and knotty, most of it had to be sawn rather than split.

That generated enough sawdust to bed all three of the horses' stalls for the week, saving us a nice little chunk of change by not using commercial bedding.

I helped with firewood, and also worked on weeding the iris bed. These are the first two to bloom this year.

I also admired the new leaves and catkins on our English walnut tree, equally beautiful in their own way.

Sunday night I cast on the hat I owe Lee Anna for winning my lambing contest. She requested a Toque, Yo, which I am knitting in black and light blue. It's coming along fast in worsted weight! I do need to put it on longer needles to make sure it's not too big, though.

That's it for now from . . .
