So close - and yet, so far

Alcyone, folded in half

So close!

We are back from our quick trip to Spokane with lots of good memories - and nary an FO! Not that I didn't knit; Rick graciously drove both directions and almost all I did for those 14 hours was knit. But I ran out of yarn on Alcyone before the end, and while I made progress on Sakaki #2, it's nowhere near the halfway point yet. I am desperately hoping that the 3.5 oz. of yarn a Raveler sent me (shown) will be enough, but I wouldn't bet the farm that it is.

I've sorted through the photos of our trip from my camera, but still need to get some off Rick's camera. In the meantime, I'll share a couple DVDs we watched while at my dad's. Both were just my kind of entertainment; suitable for the family, with happy - but not perfect - endings. I recommend them both!
Wow, I think that triples the number of movies I've seen this year!

Living the simple life at . . .

Sabbath simplicity

This is a pre-scheduled post, as we will have a busy morning getting out the door on time for Sabbath School and church, and will leave from there to drive to Spokane to spend Father's Day with my dad. I'm looking forward to all the car-knitting time (another FO, here I come!) - as well as seeing my dad, of course. :-) We'll come back Monday night. Have a good weekend, everyone!

That's it for now from . . .

Photo-heavy floral Friday

The irises still blooming are gorgeous, but they are definitely winding down. Here's one last long look at some of what are probably my favorite flowers on our farm. (The first photo is of some irises in the pasture near our gate, valiantly competing with the grass.)

That's it for today from . . .

Sneak peak

Big news - HUGE news for the little flock at Boulderneigh! Can you guess? I'm not tellin'; you're going to have to wait because I have to wait! But not too long; SQUEEE!
