Where is Thumbkin?

Mitten bodies!

thumbless mittens

To the thumbs – and VICTORY!

Much to my delight, the Yarn Aboard Radio Box is finally on its way!

They are checking for anything liquid-perishable-or-potentially-hazardous.

Why, yes, that is a customs slip a top the box. It’s on it’s way out of the US! I have a confession to make: in the interest of the Greater Good, I went right to Rachel and divulged my Secret Identity as her Box Pal. Desperate Times call for Desperate Measures, people! You would have done the same thing in my place. While the surprise of the box itself is spoiled, the inner surprises are still good – no sneak peeks for YOU. You’ll just have to lurk around Rachel’s blog to see what was inside.

Now, for Becky and the rest of you who are interested in the porch:

the porch from the left
the porch from the right

The one on the right faces the road. We really do live in town!

It’s a good-sized porch, Great Gran’s is much bigger. It wraps around three sides of the house. This is what the view from Great Gran’s front door looks like. The azaleas are just beginning to bloom.

PS I planted most all of the trees in the bucket, all that’s left are a red bud, two birches and the long-leaf pines.

    I hope you sent some of that sunshine and a seat on your porch in that box! It looks like the perfect place to spend an afternoon knitting. The mittens are looking great!

    Oh I’m with Rachael! PLease box up that porch and send it to my house! I don’t think I’d ever leave if I lived in a place like that Emily! You are so lucky. It’s beautful. BOTH the views are. Thank you for sharing!
