Before we get to the pictures, a
couple of other things. First of all, Happy Father’s Day to my dad. I know full
well all the things you’ve done for me and I am so very grateful. Love you
daddy!
Second, I wouldn’t feel right doing
a blog post and not mentioning the tragedy in Charleston. I am hoping and
praying that the perpetrator doesn’t get his wish of a race war – and not only
that, that the opposite happens. How about a love-fest instead? Can we just
love one another? I think that Someone told us that was kind of important…
And now, my pictures for the
week. Last week I said, “This week was all about crochet and growing things…”
Well, this week was all about crochet and growing things. Heh.
Sunday,
June 14th
This
morning at church we said goodbye to a parishioner who is moving to
Pennsylvania to be near his daughter. We’ll miss you Jack!
I
worked on a couple more preemie hats. As you can see, I’ve figured out how to
size them.

Dr. M saw a rainbow on his way
to school.
Tuesday,
June 16th
Dr M took pictures around the
yard. Things are hopping around here!
Ms. Pinky is almost there…
We found what we think is a
sunflower growing in the yard.
Tomatoes!
I finally finished this prayer
shawl yesterday, and took a picture of it in the sun today. When I posted it on
Facebook I got a lot of compliments, but one of the reasons that it took me so
long to finish it is because I wasn’t very excited by the color combo. Ha!
Tonight I finished square #1 of
pattern #12. I’m almost halfway through the afghan project!

I’ve done a terrible job of keeping
up with my zen calendar. Today I was trying to get current & this one made
me pause. Food for thought!
Ms. Pinky!

Square #2…
Around the yard… I told Dr. M that it
looked like Pinky was giving him the finger. Heh.

Daisy Nation.
Square #3 – this pattern is a
lot of fun and fast.

My daily
walk, at the cemetery. I amused myself by noticing the road sign “Veterans Dr”
& thinking, “That’s nice.” And then
noticing the graves with all the flags on them. Ms. Oblivious – that’s me!
Hope everyone has a great week!
I just love all your blooms and flowers. Your dad looks very handsome and quite proud of you!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteHas that one gravestone on the middle right of your collage been swallowed up by a tree trunk? That's pretty cool.
ReplyDeleteSick and misguided people have tried over and over again to start race wars (i.e. Charles Manson) and in the end, common sense and sanity prevail. Humans are amazingly stable, all things considered.
Indeed...the rhetoric of race war goes back a long way, and it certainly was prevalent in the mid-19th century, yet it didn't happen when slavery came to an end.. Thanks, Steve. We try to keep faith in humanity, too!
DeleteAnd YES, that gravestone is being swallowed up by the tree! I thought it was really cool :)
DeleteThose daisies are gorgeous, and I'm so happy to see that Pinky is pinking up. I have to tell you that I'm so jealous of those tomatoes. We haven't planted any, but next year... I think I'll plant them with the flowers, or maybe H will do a small garden in the only truly sunny spot in the back yard.
ReplyDeleteThe tragedy in Charleston is unspeakably sad. I'm so moved by how the families and loved ones of the victims have handled all of it with such grace. I don't know if I could. They've given us a strong lesson.
I'm feeling very impatient about the tomatoes - shouldn't they be pinking up by now. Sheesh :)
DeleteAnd yes, a strong lesson indeed.
Such a clever way to size those little caps.
ReplyDeleteI have a friend who said that her preemie girls' heads were the size of a softball, so I thought oh yeah genius - use a softball! And since her girls were later term preemies I figured a baseball would work for the smaller ones :)
DeleteI always enjoy your week, Bug.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteHow nice of the church to give a parishioner a send off :)
ReplyDeleteI think a race war was brewing enough with all the police issues, but I think this guy actually brought people TOGETHER with his actions. Dumb dumb dumb.
I'm on the hunt for a easy but pretty crochet pattern for an afghan. I'm keeping this one. Love the yarn :)
Those preemie hats. SO SMALL!!! ahhh!!!
I'm doing a crochet-along where we get a new square every two weeks - I'll send you the link :)
DeleteI like the toad (frog?).
ReplyDeleteToad. We have several cute ones this year, as usual.
DeleteLove all the growing things, both live and crocheted!
ReplyDeleteThe peeking toad is my fav and the cemetery pics.
I like your method for measuring the hats. You sure do pump out a lot of product! Pretty, pretty daisies. So much more fun than snow pics. 😀
