I've been riding my bike again, and frantically now. I saw school buses today! How long can I stretch it out this year?
He's right there in the center....
I caught this guy just as I got home today after work. I threw down my gear and grabbed the camera. Not a great shot, but evidence of the hummer loving my blooms. In other news, the local squirrel hoodlums have broken the little flower thingeys on the hummingbird feeders, and in the resulting nectared-up frenzy, threw the other seed feeders down on the ground in further efforts to wreak havoc and/or go after the birdseed. Wonderful Guy has put all his mad engineering skilz to the task to outwit the wily little critters. Hummers don't seem to mind the nectar feeders are there, being organic and all.
We bought plane tickets to Philly for next month. I get to see Eldest Daughter's new digs.
I have been officially awarded this 'ravatar bouquet' and medal from the head of the International Ravelympic Committee, Adonis Dionysius, for finishing the Miss Muffett dress for Team Colorado in Baby Dressage. I am being serious, y'all!
Serious as a heart attack!Now that the pressure is off, I am back to spinning alpaca (when will it end????) and working on another pair of sox for the Grandbebe Girl. And another Calorimetry. And another dishcloth. I enjoyed the bebe dress so much, I want to find something different to knit, too.
And for something completely different, I want to start on some quilted ornaments for Christmas presents.
But that will wait until the first killing frost. For now, I am going to enjoy this....
and this....
and this....
and this...
while it lasts.

Congrates are in order for the Ravelympics award. I decided not to compete as I was otherwise time engaged (how's that for a different way of saying I was too busy?)
I was dive bombed by a hummer over the weekend when I was out in the garden. My lettuce bolted and I was removing it so I can plant a second crop. Your garden looks lovely.
Congratulations on the award. You deserve it! And, bigger congrats on being a dedicated biker! Cycling is a passion of mine, too.
Per your note yesterday... I have heirloom hollyhock seeds. If you would like some, send me an email. It's fun to have a virtual seed sharing. :)
PS Beautiful flower photos!
Ooh, ahh! Wish I had nice Bob in laurel wreath Ravelympics awards to proudly display, but being on vacation in a cabin in the woods just wasn't conducive to entering the games.
The blue baby dress is wonderful, as are the flowers. Accolades for all.
P.S. Cats are laughing up their furry little sleeves at your thinking lovely, soft alpaca yarn doesn't make a cozy nest - and it has so much playing with potential too...
Great outdoor pictures. And I love the quilt. You and sister did a great job.
