Weather in My Neck of the Woods
Perfect! A mostly sunny 70 degree day! The kind of day that you just want to sit outside, sipping sweet tea and read a book after a wonderful day with the kids. If only the mosquitoes didn't want to carry me away.
In the Garden
:sigh: My peas and cucumbers wilted away to nothing. And we didn't even have scorching sun last week! I'm going to try replanting them since it's still early in the season. Perhaps the cheap Walmart seeds I purchases were of low quality...

What's on my TV Today
Again, not much. We don't even have movies from the library that we haven't watched. TV just isn't a big thing around here in the summer months. Now, come fall, I'll be watching "Survivor", "The Voice" and "The Amazing Race" on Hulu.
What I'm Creating from the Craft Basket
After working on a few quick projects (that you can see here and here), I am back to crocheting my son's ripples blanket. It's coming right along now and I can see the finish in sight. Being my first attempt at a blanket, the sizing was a bit off and I've decided to orient the ripples vertically rather than horizontal. Otherwise I'd be working on it a very long time.

Things that Make Me Happy and Thankful
Health. Joyful family. A good book. A crochet project. Sunny days. Working vehicles. Good food and drink. A new AWESOME Android.

I planted lettuce and spinach from cheap Walmart seeds and got nada. Come on, spinach and lettuce? the two easiest things in the world to grow? No more walmart seeds. I'm sticking with organic Amish ones. Good luck on your replant!!
ReplyDeleteYou too? I'm thinking it's the seed quality. We've always had an abundance of peas and cucumbers, but this year they barely got going before they wilted away. Next year I'll go back to the non-GMO heirlooms that I buy from a local company/farm.
DeleteSorry to hear about the wilted plants in your garden! I hope your next planting is successful. Don't you just love seeing the end on a crochet project!?!? Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteI do! Now that I can see the end of the blanket I've been looking over all the ideas I have pinned and wondering what I should do next...So many ideas, so little time! I need more yarn! LOL
DeleteLike your happy and thankful!
ReplyDeleteThere's so much to be happy and thankful for!
DeleteHappy to have found another Survivor fan. It is a guilty pleasure of mine. This past season was not one of my favorites, however. There was so much contestant bashing and I just don't like that. I wasn't a big fan of Mike either. Oh well!
ReplyDeleteYeah, you're right. It was an OK season! Perhaps the next one will be different...
DeleteYou've got a busy week coming up I think! Shame about your peas and cucumbers.
