All in a Day

 I took care of the outside things in the morning-filling bird feeders, watering porch plants
and then I finally filled the Mother's Day pot I received--about time!  
The tall plant is another crinum, the lime green is sedum
 and the blue flower is a dwarf morning glory--
all plants which bear the brutal temperatures right now in Florida!
 In the afternoon, a friend came over with her children for a visit to cool down in the pool!
How delightful it was to talk with this friend I haven't 'seen' in months! 
When the afternoon T-storm rolled in, we got out of the pool 
and had ice cream cones to soften the blow! 
And typical of me after a visit--down time in the recliner with some kitties and knitting!
I am still working on the shawl by Joji and it is entering the final patterning.
What a full day!

  4. What a beautiful arrangement in the planter. You remind me of my Odyssey shawl. I finished the last pattern but I have not bound off. I think I want to make it a little bigger - and I'm usuing a gradient yarn...I want the lighter color to show. I need to dig that out and finish it.

  5. That sounds like s wonderful day. I really treasure the in-person visits I have.
    You are so lucky to have two cats to keep you company when you knit. One of ours only hangs out with my husband!

    The day sounds great. It's been so long since I've been around children. Swimming, children, ice cream, knitting and cats. A wonderful day.
    Blessings,
