Pulling Weeds Indicates It’s Summertime.
This weekend was beautiful, and it was about time we got outside to pull some of those weeds. We haven’t had enough sun to ripen any of our strawberries which were being choked out by all the weeds. I decided to tackle that one little strawberry patch and spent about 2 and 1/2 hours in there. I forgot to take a before photo, but you probably wouldn’t have been able to see anything except a weed patch anyways. When I was finished it looked like this.
There were also lots of slugs hiding in that mess and eating our strawberries so we had to put some slug bait down. I had a full wagon load of weeds when I was finished which JO was nice enough to take to the back of the yard and dispose of.
I also caught JY being silly wearing these fake safety glasses the other day.
On the knitting front, I have another pair of socks to show you. The pattern is Devon from Sock Innovation by Cookie A. The yarn is Have You Any Wool Luxe Sock in Bordeaux. I came to close for comfort to running out of yarn. I knit the pattern pretty much as written, and with the cuff being long-ish and my feet being large-ish it was close. All that worry for nothing though because these turned out perfectly.
That’s all for now and I’m crossing my fingers that we get some more sun so our garden starts growing.





Great socks!
I hate weeding, but it’s gotta get done!
socks look fantastic!
wonderful weeding work! i’ll hope you get sunshine soon so you can enjoy the fruits of your labor. (heh heh, pun totally intended.)
