Singing in the Rain

Or at least knitting in the rain...


Duckies in my own handspun, Funky Carolina aptly named "Duckfeet"

Our "stay-cation" has gone well. Despite some chilly, rainy weather, we finished every landscaping job we had planned, and some we did not. Now we are tired from the work, and tired of spending money on plants. I swear we did a Southeastern Wisconsin Garden Center tour - I've seen enough. Now I must rest, with my knitting.

Actually, the week has been productive on the needles as well - I managed to sneak stitches in in the car between stops, at a restaurant, before a movie and during several more at home. I have produced the pair of Duckies and cast some Cotty's on last night. Sport Weight socks may be my new immediate gratification project. It is nice to have a sock grow so darned fast. I think my sock mojo is found.

We did have a little fun on our stay-at-home working vacation. We ate out waaay much and enjoyed a few mojitos. Today we hiked a Kettle Morraine Trail, Scuppernong (don't you just like that word, Scuppernong?). I bought the book "60 Hikes in 60 miles", thinking we could have a summer of family hiking fun. We decided on this first hike that we are perhaps not in as good of shape as we thought - egads. Maybe if we had brought a picnic...
