Dear Diary,
Jesse: The other day I was at the haberdashery, looking at the knitting wools, when I saw this discontinued yarn, marked down by two thirds. That was a great deal so I bought 3 skeins which meant I could knit three garments for the price of one.
The boys went out to the garden to get their photos taken. Today was the first sunny day we've had in a fortnight and we were keen to enjoy it.

That's a whole lot of orange! |

Most of the plants in the beds were selected for bees and birds. |

And to think this was just a spindly stick last spring when it was planted. |

Soon the bees will arrive to work over these blossoms. |

Have basket, will travel. |
