Hey there everyone, I hope you all are doing okay with everything that is going on in the world. I understand from the news that pretty much all of us are in a lock down of one form or another. Don't know about you but it has been a challenge for me. I can be very happy being home bound, it's just that I was watching too much news and was freaking out a little. So I'm not watching all the time now and my anxiety is better.
Don't know if any of you are experiencing any thing like that too. Also for a while I couldn't seem to be focused, more than normal
But I'm adjusting and relaxing a little and feel like writing about some of what I've been up to these past few weeks
Well I started on new socks and this time I decided to do a plain vanilla pattern
Did a twisted rib cuff in a contrasting color with a German short row garter stitched heel. First time for doing this style heel and I liked it.
Says that it will wear longer
So far I'm keeping up with my goal of knitting a pair of socks each month.
Made a little progress on the crochet shawl
the pattern is from the latest issue of Pom Pom
and a easy pattern to work up.
I'm probably about a 1/4 done
Then my yard and garden are a diffidently a work in progress.
Today I was able to finally mow the yard for the first time.
Boy was the grass/weeds very tall. "The Man of the Place" had to do the spring maintenance before I could use the mower and that took time.
The grass is at least 12 inches high and was pretty thick.
Boy it was a beautiful spring day, so sunny and cool.
So nice to see everything turning green
The azalea in the front of the house was bursting in color which the bees were all over it.
Again this year I'm doing all my veggies in containers but like I said I hadn't been myself and that put me behind in planting.
Did get some broccoli plants transplanted, should of had those in a few weeks ago. Did put them in a spot that gets morning and early afternoon sun. I hope that will help when the temps get warmer.
But we haven't had too warm of temps this spring in fact we have had night low close to freezing so I hadn't planted the warn season crop yet. Hope to soon.
Well that's all now.
Be safe and stay home

Great photos and good luck with your veggies!
ReplyDeleteIndeed, good luck with the veggies. We have started setting seeds in readiness for container gardening and a couple of beds. Love those socks a real delight.
