It's hard to believe it has been almost a year since the picnic in the desert in Brawley. We need to do it again!
Old Man Winter must be napping today - the sun has sneaked out and the lake is glowing. I need to take pictures of the herbs in the garden that are surviving the freeze. Rosemary is doing well in the greenhouse, while Lavendar, Dill, Chives, Parsley and others are making it fine. The lemon balm has some frostbite on the taller leaves, but all in all looks to be making it.
I have been working on socks - knitting them with 100% wool for slipper socks. The pair in progress is for Marta. She is always complaining that her feet are cold. I did order some "SuperWash" wool and nylon blend. It's a fine, fingering weight, so whoever gets them will be able to wear them with regular shoes, and wash and dry them in the machines. I suppose the variegated yarns are so popular it is hard to find the blend of fibers that I want in a solid color.
Nuff for now. Perhaps the next time I will get the picture of Jimmy's hat up.
