Heather has just started another blanket for another friend who is expecting a baby. This is the first 5 inches at the center of the blanket. She is knitting it "in the round", so it will continue to get bigger and then, I guess, the corners will get squared off. I'm not sure because I have never knitted this way.
This image has been removed at Heather's request!!
I'm concentrating on knitting booties, and I have completed TWO pair, so far.
Here are some pictures of the animals that keep us entertained! First is the alpha male turkey showing his blue face, which he does when he is courting a female. If she responds to him, his whole head and neck, which appear red here, will also turn blue.
Next is Jasmine, the female cat, who has taken over the corner of my bed as her napping and sleeping place. So far she has not brought me any gifts, that is birds, mice, or baby rabbits.
Living around us in the neighborhood are cows, goats, sheep, alpacas, more chickens, and a pair of hairy pigs but I'm not sure what they are called. I'll try to get some pictures to post later.
We started working in the garden yesterday. The artichokes Heather saved, when the old garden was dismantled, have been transplanted from their buckets to their permanent place in the garden.
Mike bought a storage container for the "bits and pieces" he has lying about the place, and it was delivered yesterday.
And here is a picture for Terry. A good shot of some of the trees we worked so hard on two years ago!! And the gate leading into the paddock on the southeast corner of the property.
Now that the fencing is done, Heather has purchased some Japanese white birches to line part of the driveway. Here is the 'before' picture of the driveway. The trees will go along the fence line on the right hand side.
That's all for now, but we start building the garden beds on Saturday!!
