Saturday's Bits & Pieces

I am a bit off center today. We had more lay-offs at work yesterday, and one of my fellow knitters was one of those cut. I am so saddened by that, and also wondering what the future holds for those of us remaining. The ground is very unsteady.

(I know my friend sometimes reads this, and I want her to know I am thinking about her.)

I am working on the baby kimono, about 75% finished, and turned the heel on one of the Hedera socks. No pix today.

The iris in the backyard are still beautiful, but finishing up. That is another wonderful surprise I stumbled on by accident. Planting them all around the house sort of puts them in their own different zones. I will have some iris blooming for almost 5 weeks, typically. My roses have kicked in this past week, and maybe I will get photos today for sharing.

Middle Daughter and Friend are coming for a friend's wedding next weekend, and I look forward to the visit. Then we are planning a short trip over the 4th to visit Wonderful Guy's dad and step-mom. Ahhhh....north central KS in July! I will take the opportunity to meet Wisest Sister, and maybe stop in an LYS in Manhattan. Maybe.

That's all for today. Still sort of reeling.
