A GOLF CART RIDE

First thing we had a drive to church-me to help decorate for our church anniversary celebration on Sunday--37 years!  After a good pizza lunch and a few errands, we were home and took a ride on the golf cart to see how the back of the property fared.  This is the cassia in bloom.  A bit flattened but still blooming!

I think this view would make a good puzzle!  

If you look dead center, you will see the egret which has moved in!

We also found this lady quite a ways from the pond to lay eggs....she is a Painted Turtle. About 15" across her shell.

There's still quite a bit of yard pick-up happening but again we are thankful not have been in the cross hairs of that hurricane!

 

Socks and Softshell

I picked up this sock after my self-induced cotton cone challenge ended

and began a knit 2, purl 2 rib for the leg.

I ended it just before the color for the toe, bound off the one

and immediately cast on for the second sock.

It felt good to have a sock under my needles

and I feel up to the upgrade in knitting! 

Look what Bill saw out by our pond!

It is called a Softshell turtle,

native to this area and the largest softshell turtle in North America!

Look at that pointy nose!

I can't wait to catch sight of him when I graduate to exploration again!

(The xrays showed clear lungs!  This is a huge improvement and a sign my body is recovering

from the pneumonia, sepsis and then septic shock.  I'm getting glimmers of feeling like me again.)
