Cold and drear, more so after a sunny and bright week, the weekend was not so much fun. I have some lilies of the valley coming on, and I notice my bleeding heart is getting ready to bloom. I want to get out and clean up, but it was just too cold.
Just not fair!
We did stop briefly at the Farmer's Market for it's first day...all bundled up, with promises of ending the excursion if I was too cold. But guess what the Market had Saturday?
Roving! Jacobs roving from a local grower (breeder? shepherd?)! How exciting for me! Almost as exciting as the almost for real tomatoes I bought.
Yeah. I know...I know...blah blah blah...more buying than knitting/spinning going on lately. So much for that little goal.
Also. We have a new addition.
Behold. The Pergola. Three years in the thinking, we finally took the plunge and it is built!

Artsy effect with gloomy sky background.
As the day comes to a close, and I am winding down and gearing up for Monday, I hear Wonderful Guy remark that he hopes the birds don't abuse it. Now we didn't think about that part of it.

Gorgeous job.... You'll be enjoying that for years.
Nice new header too.
Well, don't hang any birdfeeders on it and that will help...
It looks very nice!
I'm impressed with your beautiful pergola -- very nice how you put the decorative touch on the ends of the boards. Are you going to plant something to grow on it? My sister has wisteria on hers -- it's gone crazy!
It was beautiful here today and I didn't go out because we were painting. I love the pergola, it will be a lovely place to sit when it warms up for you.
Maybe I will drive up with my wheel and spend some time under the pergola with you. A little lemondade, and it would be a perfect day.
Very nice pergola, I like it. Now all you need is a big wisteria vine...
Your addition is very nice. And it looks like it belongs to the house. Well done! Love, WS
Looks lovely! Did you build it yourselves?
I hate to rub anything in your face but we had temps like 89 over the weekend! Yikes, too warm for April!! We had to turn on the air conditioning. ugh.
We had a small bear in our front yard this morning!
Hmm... the birds ... well ... ;)
Gorgeous pergola! Even with gloomy skies!
The pergola is so nice, and I love the color of your house!
Spending more time buying than knitting is still more productive than spending more time on Ravelry than knitting- that's what I seem to do.
Wow, that is beautiful! Totally stunning addition. That will be amazing in the summer.
As for the weather, I'd give anything for it to be chilly again. Last week it went from 30 degrees one day to 90 the next (and that is seriously no exaggeration). I didn't have any time to even get my SPRING clothes out of storage, nevermind my SUMMER clothes! Whatever happened to gradual season changes? =D
Beautiful wool, beautiful pergola. If you planted an ivy nearby, it would be just perfect, and you'd have some heavier shade in the next year or two.
