The Days Pass By

Nothing extrordinary happened in the last while. YGS had decided that he'd like supper and a sleepover every night ! LOL He is eating us out of house and home  ! Last Monday we ended up with all three grandchildren for a sleepover. The model planes they all made did not fly very well at the park, but they had fun doing it ! We were tired by the time they'd all left ! OGS wished  they had a set night that they could sleep over as their  cousin does.

The last week of the Tour de France was fun to watch. I madly worked on my lap afghans and managed to finsh all four by Friday. My wool stash has gone down by over half. Now I am knitting a lightweight sweater for myself. Well I hope it will fit me as I adapt  a Classic Lace pattern. It's a dusty rose colour  and will be a change from all my black sweaters.

The gardens are doing well. I have managed to transplant more of the new grass which grew in one of the front garden beds. Hop;efully they take and spread to fill in some of the bare spots.. it hs been said that El Niño has not truly hit yet so we are supposed to expect more drought conditions. The rain the last few days has certainly helped the plants and lawns.We'll try to get the lawns mowed today after they dry out some. by this time of the year, we have often had to mow twice a week. This year we can do it every second week ! I need to get out and deadhead some roses and maybe even pick some green beans ! Some of the cherries will need picking and processing as well.

Next we I need  to do some paper work and maybe even cut my hair. Can't stand the length anymore.There is not much left of summer vacation. Once August hits, the days will pass by and the next thing you know it's back to school !








The Green Lap Afghan
























Well, I sure have trouble getting photos on here. This is the Green Lap Afghan. The others are Blue, Purple, a MixMatch  with 3 others completed earleier in the year being brownn, greens and a red and cream.





This is one of the Lap Afghans. there are 7 in all. Cant get those pictures on here, neither the picture of my  sweater. Must figure it out sometime.


Floors are swept and washd so that is another job done for today. As we have been dog sitting during the week, it had seemed useless to wash them. Now they're clean to start the week !

ED comes home this week after a wonderful week in the Dominican Republic. YGS and the Marley have missed her. YD is off to Canmore for a family wedding. Sons are playing baseball so the family has been busy. Now I'll get my act in gear with the end of the Tour and the Pan Am games.
