...and entering into vacation mode.
We leave for Philadelphia next Saturday for a weeks stay at Eldest Daughter's. She and the SO recently purchased a place and this will be my first time seeing it. The day after we leave to come home, she leaves for Europe for her job. Timing is everything!
I am taking her iris. I have been digging diligently and regularly, and have 2 more clumps to go. Wonderful Guy said one always knows when it is fall around here. There are iris and tomatoes everywhere. I reminded him it was one of those endearing eccentricities for which he fell in love with me...right??? He agreed....mostly.
What makes me happy, makes him happy. I reminded him of that, too.
A ride on the motorcycle, a hike around one of the local natural areas (Bobcat Gulch), enjoying the yard, some knitting and household chores made up the rest of the weekend.
I am planning my trip knitting. I also rewrote the chart for the Seascape Stole (Knitty Summer '08). I thought I would try it in the lace weight I bought at the Yarn Barn, but the chart looks sort of big and complicated now that I have closely looked at it. Maybe too much for traveling. Maybe I will work on socks for Wonderful Guy out of the alpaca I have been spinning.
Sounds like you have fun planned - both in the traveling and in the visit. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteI have iris from my mom's garden so I think your daughter will treasure them like I do. Thanks for the nice comment on my blog.
