Lemon Garlic Shrimp on a bed of spaghetti squash in a nest of green beans. Yum in any language. Almost forgot to mention that I had the pleasure of using our homegrown Meyer lemons for this one!Tuesday involved a little field trip to the Dallas Arboretum. Gorgeous day and gorgeous landscaping! Need to download the pix and show a few in a post of its own.
Myron & Jeff removed our back fence yesterday. By Wednesday we should have a new fence put up in anticipation of dog sitting Tank regularly and Massey's occasional visits. Hopefully the weather will continue to cooperate. I need to build a square foot garden bed and pull the dirt from the fence line. It is obvious it was a dumping ground for leaves and some other organic debris and there is some good soil there waiting to be used. That will get us started with a few things (broccoli, radishes, lettuce). Still clearing out and covering the beds against the house. All I can say to that end is what a mess. Making progress also on picking up all the broken glass around the property.
Although the knitmeter has not been updated, there has been knitting. More starting than finishing, but progress nonetheless. Of course this time of year much of what is OTN falls into the gift category, so that severely restricts what can be posted. I'll see what I can pull together this week to get some knitting/yarn p0rn up on the site. If all goes well I'll be headed to Boerne this weekend! I'm the only one in our group going without a spinning wheel, so I've been trying to at least pull together the parts for a kick spindle. I think I can get the rest today and try construction tomorrow. The idea is to bring with me the roving I bought *ahem* last year and work on spinning it this year. I took a picture of my haul from last year to bring with me to remind myself that I don't need any more! Three finished objects resulted from that trip, and there is one WIP, but there is still more yarn...
