NO MORE, SISTA!! Bye bye.
On the subject of garter snakes, the University of Minnesota says, “Remember that garter snakes are harmless to you and your pets and should not be killed.” Uh-huh…
Okay, enough about death – onto LIFE!
Lets take a look at beautiful, living, GROWING things:
Not only is my precious peony still coming back from the assumed-dead, but see that little weed-looking thing to the right of it? Haven’t seen that for 2 years; we assumed it died at the end of the ’06 season. It escapes me exactly what it is, but you can tell it hadn’t surfaced last spring when we planted the peony or we wouldn’t have planted it so close!
My lace continues to prosper as well. I’m so amazed by how “old” lace is and how “alive” it still is today; some of the more popular patterns I’ve seen go back hundreds of years! I for one am very glad this style has survived.
My shawl is about 25% done. Something finally just clicked for me and I’m clippin’ along much more quickly (though not fast) and with almost no errors – I even managed to do an entire pattern repeat WHILE watching TV last night and only had one little oops that I noticed right away when I’d made it.
That said…off to go work on it for a little while before the chillens get home. Have a great day, everyone!
