And rains and rains.
And I determine that the best thing to do is pull out one of the pattern books step-dad gave me for my birthday and try my knitting skills on some stockings.
If I don't answer my phone this evening, it's because I can't hear it over the sound of my own cursing. I do not understand this pattern, but I so badly want these stockings that I WILL figure it out.
Love, J
water + gunpowder green tea leaves + a touch of agave nectar = aaahhhhhhh...

I've got a summer to-do list that's a mile long. It's overflowing with parties to throw, things to make, plants to grow, food to cook, people to play with, books to read, places to go, and other ways to have fun.
But if all I wind up doing this summer is having lazy, lovely days like these, it will be a very good year.
Love, J
The hubs finds them cheery and sweet, and I concur. I do understand that our neighbors probably disagree, though, so I am trying my hardest to keep them under control in any non-chemical way I can contrive.
As far as I can tell, I am losing the battle, and we should be enjoying a sunny yellow carpet of a yard inside a few weeks.
Love, J
Cushion-y softness for one of my most precious (and most often used, and most complimented) possessions: the graduation camera.
Materials: 2 old sheets, thread, quilt batting from (where else?) Value Village, and a clasp and bias tape from a box of Grandma's hand-me-downs. No pattern this time, I decided to try winging it.
Love, J
The hubs has cordoned off a very large corner of the yard with chicken wire, enabling the bunnies free range in a super-sized enclosure. To say they are enjoying their liberty would be a gross understatement.
I garden, they frolic, the hubs naps in the hammock. Life is good.
Love, J
It's official: I'm a celebrity.
I've mentioned before how much I love to feel famous. And now that my photo has been on TV, I for sure qualify as a 'big deal,' right? Go here to watch. The segment I'm in starts around 6:25, and my photo's in the bottom right. There's also one of G with Vinny in the upper left. Stick around to watch the whole segment and get a feel for how awesome River's Wish is.
Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go find myself some fashionably large sunglasses and practice my scowl in the mirror. The first hoard of paparazzi should be here any minute now.
Love, J
