We should do this again in a few months when you can see the flowers! But here you are:

I need to order a new gazing ball!

That’s my little shade garden to the left.

The back porch is off of the kitchen. The cats like to bird watch out the kitchen windows. My back (while taking the pictures) was to the road and the large amount of back yard that has just been cleared of blackberries (one can hope anyway) and then filled with little stick trees and bushes. They are all decorated with pink flagging tape that says “Mr. Brown, don’t mow me!” The whole thing looks a fairly pathetic, so I have decided not to show you that. Rather, imagine what it will look like 20 years from now whent the trees have grown up and you can’t see the road…

My plan for today is to finish the BF sock so that I can start on my stuff for Project Spectrum. We will also be waiting for AAA to come. The battery in the truck has died, leaving us Stranded. This is fine with me: I can make 29 pairs of socks (I found two more balls of Fixation in the bottom of my needle bucket).
