Sunday, rainy Sunday

Good afternoon everyone,

We finally got some much needed rain here in Manitoba. Our grass was brown & crispy, and I can imagine the soil going "aaaaahh" now that it got a drink. It absolutely poured here off and on yesterday and last night, so we got to find out what is good and what needs fixing on our porch roof re-do. The main part of the roof is fine (yay!), but not where it meets the house - so the flashing job did not go well. DH & I are going to have to re-do that part. Oh well, that's what happens when you aren't a professional roofer.

I have officially started on Christmas gift knitting, and actually shopped my stash for the first few gifts. Scarves for my sister and her DH.... for my sister, I have some absolutely gorgeous wool/silk/cashmere (from Elann) in a grey that will go with her black/grey/white fall/winter coat. This yarn is so soft and feels so good !!! For her DH, I have some Sirdar Denim in a charcoal/cream to blend with a charcoal Jaeger Matchmaker DK merino. My daughter is continually whining for my knit socks - so she will get at least one pair (maybe two) from my bountiful sock stash.

I found a lovely sweater pattern in an issue of Creative Knitting that I will try to get finished for my darling granddaughter, from stash yarn as well. Might as well use it up - then I can allow myself to buy more (snicker). I would have started all this sooner, but I want to finish my NYCO too. Not sure that will happen now, but time will tell.

I have finished the balloon bag, so will put up a link in a separate post.

Hi Shelagh,

I just came in from mowing the lawn, lovely warm day and the grass is growing so fast that if this weather keeps up, I won't get a chance to mow it short. LOL

Now, I love that balloon bag and you would never guess it was the same one. I like the after colors, so very pretty.

Hugs,

Nora

It's weird - the colours on the before picture are not even close to being right, I can't figure it out. My digital camera, I guess. At least the "after" pic shows the colours properly. ;>)

Hi -- I am home briefly before leaving again Wednesday. It is raining softly here and I think my lawn joins yours. It was crunching when we walked on it before but already looks better after two days of gentle rain. It is still pretty brown but should green up soon. We plan to go cut my son's grass (he is still on his honeymoon) and get their yard spruced up for when they come back. It is long and brown - maybe after this week there will be some green down there underneath the brown tangle.

I got the back of DGD#2's tied shrug done while I was there and got to hold it up against her back for size. I think it is going to be fine.

I got some work d> Good afternoon everyone,

We had a slow, sprinkling rain most of the day Sunday, too. It was wonderful. The five inches or so we've had since the first of the month has really greened everything up. It also helps that we have not had anymore

100 degree days since the first of this month. DH mowed today after work and it looks so nice.
