Scenery

Aren't these interesting clouds? Later in the day I noticed an airplane "coming out" of the clouds leaving a white streak so I think that is what that is from.
The leaves are exceptionally beautiful this year.

Saturday Sky September 27 Door County

A beautiful fall day in Door County. Having just spent a week at knitting camp in Sister Bay, my sister and I met my daughter in law and her mother for a morning walk in Penninsula State Park.

Saturday Sky August 16, 2008

A beautiful summer day! Had a wonderful lunch and visit with a friend who lives here on the Mississippi River.
Temperature got up to mid 80's with a nice breeze. Now it's raining-6PM-and temperature has dropped down to 68.

At the Farm on Deer Creek

For those of you familiar with Cottage Creations you might have noticed the mailing address is "At the Farm on Deer Creek". Yes, there is a farm.And yes, there is a Deer Creek on the property.

Saturday Sky April 2008

I don't even know if this was Saturday, but the sky was blue, cloudless both Saturdays and the whole time I was gone. I'll ignore the gloomy, cloudy Saturday yesterday at home.

G is for Gone

Gone to Northern Mexico and the Copper Canyon. Had a wonderful trip!

I'm Knitting As Fast As I Can

I'm knitting a lot, but am not seeming to make much progress! The Wallaby for my grandaughter to the armhole, one sleeve is done and the second has about 2 inches to go before joining the 3 pieces. The lace shawl is really progressing slowly as I now have over 900 stitches on the needle. Only about 5 or 6 rows left though! I finished a pair of mittens yesterday, have another one started and almost to the thumb and have a felted mitten started but the cuff isn't even done. My Arctic Lace Knit A Long scarf is to about the middle of the first big star motif. Haven't touched the Norwegian sweater and am waiting for the pattern update on the Taos Pinwheel Sweater (haven't checked the website for a couple weeks, so it may be done.)

Would you believe this is from my daughter's backyard in the middle of a city? If you look from her kitchen at an area about as wide as this picture this is what it looks like-the rest is houses.

Today was a fun (and fattening) adventure! A friend told my husband about Legacy Chocolates in St Paul, so we had to try it out. Wonderful! It is all truffles with varying percentages of cocoa up to 99% with many different flavored fillings, all individually packaged in little cups. Next we went to a bakery/deli around the corner and had lunch in this little neighborhood cafe. I had a wonderful chicken, wild rice, cranberry salad which was very good. Bought several loaves of bread home but haven't tasted them yet as they were put in the freezer. My husband had a buffalo burger which he said was good and the bun looked homemade and delicious. Next, a few doors down from the chocolate store was Izzy's Ice Cream. I saw them on a challenge with Bobby Flay on Food Channel and they are rated as the top ice cream made on the premises in St Paul. A fun feature is when you buy a cone or a dish you get an extra Izzy scoup-a small scoop of another flavor of ice cream perched on top. Very good! I had Norwegian chai with a chocolate almond Izzy scoop. Now, I'm ready for a nap!

Dragon Fly

A friend was over this morning to teach me how to customize this blog. She is the person who really got me into this and we also got our tattoos together and hers is a dragonfly. When she left, this dragon fly was sitting in the grass. Very appropriate and too pretty not to take a picture-to bad it doesn't show up the true beauty. Thanks, friend!
