    I am feeling a bit under the weather, and it was such a wonderful suprise!  Thank you Nancy!

    Chillin' and Knittin'

    We bought a water fountain and two "leap frogs".  Maggie had ideas of things to do with the fountain...

    This is my knitting corner - and I finished the anthracite shawl this weekend.

    We bought a frog in a hammock that sways in the wind.  There were lilies that came up and suprised us.

    Cupcakes, Akitas and iPhones, oh my!

    Last night I made cupcakes for our Developer's Hangout at Wharton.

    And I just couldn't resist taking pics of our Akita, Zak this morning. Notice the tounge hanging out.

    Project Updates

     

    My Anthracite Shawl is 28 rows and some darning away from being finished.

    I would have finished over the weekend, but it was too warm, so I cast on a Morning Surf Scarf:

    Some knitting fun

    I've been working on a shawl that is actually just one colorway - the colors change gradually.  It's done in a log-cabin style, and the results are going to be amazing!  I'm almost finshished.  I wanted to make a shawl I can keep at the trailer for cool evenings.

    And I just had to post a picture of two adorable brothers - Jordan and Dylan are so cute!

    We spent the weekend raking leaves and hanging our sign:

    Bob put together an outside sink, which also holds a hose.
