A rainbow of carrots awakens interest at snack time. We do a blind test to prove they all taste the same. All kids says "Yellow!" when it is red, "Purple!" when it is orange and etc... They say we eat with our eyes... So true... It feels weird to eat a purple carrot... I expect it to taste like a red beet. :D
I take cat naps and photograph Tilda yarn to use for a external online shop eventually. It is where my focus lie right now. I do some make over projects for my oldest daughter and mini pancakes for lunch.
I kill flies. They are everywhere. Up my nose, in my ears, at my food, on my legs, on my computer screen, in my coffee... I truly dislike flies to say it nicely.
I fasten off the last ends on my shawl. I'll show you soon. It is amazing and I have already started on a new one in a new color theme. Pattern will still be a while. Be patient with me. It is a lot to write and I am writing it as I go with Shawl No 2. A few things needed to be tweaked...
Now I will make myself a coffee and sit outside with a new issue of Crochet Today. Happy afternoon dear you.

ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely post. Yes the routines will now begin again as we head into September and the cosiness of Autumn. Enjoy the rest of your weekend. xx
ReplyDeleteSo many beautiful pictures this week!
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about the flies. It's terrible. This year they aren't too terrible luckily.
An old wives' tale type remedy to get rid of flies is to get a ziplock baggie, fill it with an inch or so of water and put a couple pennies in it then hang it up where you're having trouble with flies (like a doorway). It supposedly messes with their vision and they think it's a predator or something. I've seen a lot of people do it. Some people swear by it, others don't think it helps.
Sounds a great way to spend your time - except the flies!!
ReplyDeleteYum yum yum!! We are just harvesting the last things from our blacony (yes, we have a huge veggie garden on our balcony!!) just before we leave on vacation. Next week we're having endive and beetroot: mmm.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week!
Esther.
I love your blog-site, fun, informative and lots of lovely photos.
ReplyDeleteThe comment about the flies made me laugh - I live in the countryside in Brittany, France and we have the same problem at this time of year.
Hope you keep blogging for a long time to come, thank you for cheering me up :-)
