This year it was a little different with the travel restrictions in place due to COVID, but overall, it really wasn’t that different from other stay-cations.
What was most missed was the annual visit from my parents. This was rather difficult on both sides. I could hear it in my Mom’s voice when she telephoned to wish me a happy birthday. But, we remind each other, it isn’t forever. We will visit each other again.
We did a few renovations around the backyard. Renovations is not really the correct term. It’s more like finishing touches, tweaking.
The gate will have a lovely added detail when it finally arrives. The path helps keep the mud down after it rains. The chickens will have electricity running in their coop for when the days get shorter.
We are really pleased with our progress so far!
My plants are doing wonderfully!
So far, these are my favourite:
It’s like outer space within a Petunia.
I also finally found the Hens and Chicks succulent!
I have been looking for these plants since I moved here! We happen to come across them in a home reno store.
Of course I have been knitting. It is much to warm to work on my sweater so, that is on hold until the weather cools. At the moment, socks!
My Vanilla Latte Socks, designed by Virginia Rose-Jeanes just flew off the needles.
The yarn I used was by Turtle Purl Yarns, Striped Turtle Toes in Gothic Plum.
At the moment, I am working on Zigzagular Socks designed by Prairie Girl Designs. The yarn is by Darn Good Yarn, Hand-Dyed Merino Wool Sock Yarn in Candy Pop.
These too, are a very fun knit. That little extra detail in the zigzag pattern keeps it interesting.
I also try to draw or paint a little each day.
I seem to be on a bird kick.
Also, we are all adjusting quite well to the new additions to our family.
Charlotte has a new harness for safety’s sake.
I’m a flight risk!
Grisou is being a little more social and no longer spending the majority of his time within the confines of the loveseat.
Now everyone can eat together without fleeing for their life.
Charlotte follows Jackie like a little shadow and Jackie tolerates it quite well.
Until Jackie needs a little me time and goes to just beyond where Charlotte can’t follow.
I hope you are re all enjoying your week end.
Remember to stay safe, wear your mask and
Talk with you later.
