why . . .

 Have you ever asked yourself  why didn't I think of that?  I do it frequently.  Recently Maya had a blog post about yarn holders - see it for yourself - and my reaction was why didn't I think of that. I will be the first to admit that I love the yarn bowls that are available but cannot justify the price.    This is what I came up with -  it worked like a charm - to work on my most recent project (thanks Maya) . .



This summer has been a different one for me - it's extremely HOT and DRY, we haven't been spending a lot of time at the cabin and I'm not doing much handwork.  However, I did try my hand at Wild Rose Syrup and  Lemon Balm Mead - both are delicious  . . .






Some quotes that I like . . . 

knowledge is knowing that a tomato is  a fruit,

wisdom is not putting it into a fruit salad


i have no particular talent, I'm just passionately curious (Einstein)


everything is possible - even the impossible (Mary Poppins)

Sunday morning . . .

 Sunday morning coming down - I like that song - it tells quite a story - I like to listen to Kris Kristofferson sing it.  It's been hot here and early this morning we were chilling on the patio . . .


The book I'm reading is 'Fatal Inheritance' by Rachel Rhys.  It takes place in 1948 on the French Riviera  - I'm really enjoying it.

Some quotes I like . . . 

blessed are the curious for they shall have adventures

those who fly solo have the strongest wings

if you light a lamp for someone else it will also brighten your path

this is a good day to have a good day
