Since I saw Jamie Oliver’s new At Home episode about peas & beans, I have been waiting to try the pea sprouts. (incidentally: what I wouldn’t give for that garden of his!) Turns out they are totally delicious & refreshing - they taste just like young peas.
Kira cannot stand to see us eat anything without her. She [...]

‘The Mail is good to me
And so I thank the Mail
For giving me the things I need
A book
and some prep for emergencies.
The Mail is good to me.’
Based on a childhood favourite (which has somehow become censored in my memory from Lord to Earth — not sure how that happened… 
My Grandparents had a copy of this [...]

So this weekend was quiet. It began with a dreadful bout of stomach flu and a LOT of sleeping/napping. Before the flu hit I went to the garden centre and added this lovely to my backyard — it helps screen out the neighbours (nice as they are, it can be awkward staring at each other [...]

Sorry for all of you on the East Coast - I just had to share my excitement. And…yesterday when I walked Kira we saw…ROBINS!
Incidentally, this is how much knitting you can get done watching the Oscars!
btw - there are some new entries on the 2008 Reads page.

and I will be on my ship. Ahhhhh.
In the meanwhile I am working for the 4th time on Nagini - the b*stard sock from h*ll. It finally fits properly and now I have to stop myself from changing it into an ankle sock to just be finished with the blasted thing already.
I have packed Bellatrix, [...]

Garden
Gardening relaxes me. It soothes me to dig in new plants, to sow seeds, to watch growth. I love the visitors that come to our yard because of the garden.
Like this blog, my knitting, my bid to organize my home…the garden has suffered some neglect this past month. I would like to plant some last [...]

Early.
Which is something that I pretty much never am!
My Grandpa used to ask incredulously ”There’s another 6 o’clock?” He began his day by waking around 9 and relaxing in bed (at least by the time I was on the scene), then rising at 10 am for a leisurely breakfast with the paper.
I think he had it just [...]

I thought it would be fun to experiment with a new photography style.
That’s a picture of Nagini.
Let’s try that again.
Here’s a Kinnear of our kids raiding our daycare garden. It is loaded with beans, peas and lettuce. Oh, and there are going to be potatoes enough for a township I am sure, [...]

Thanks in part to everyone’s support of my efforts, I dug deep and really took my excercise up a notch this week. I rode my bike to work each day - and home (before I was getting picked up after work). I took some very long walks and made some of those little changes, like [...]

It is June already!? Where exactly does all of the time go? I am at a complete loss by how quickly PS2 is flying by.
Ummmmm I still have projects
and yarn from the Feb/March on the go or not even cast on yet. Ai yi yi.
So Lolly has posed a few questions on her blog:
Did you [...]
