Ready for summer!

I think the happy look on my ca’s face says it all…it really is just a very nice day here in NJ – and there is nothing better than a nap on the deck on a beautiful day.

Yesterday was a day for errands, napping and fun.  We went to the movies with Dan last night to see Indiana Jones and then out to dinner – had a great time – its always so nice to spend time with Dan.  Cieara has been busy with friends all weekend, so it was just the three of us (which is not creepy, Dan!).    The movie was good – typical Indiana Jones.  There was a story this morning on the news about Karen Allen, and how she is a fiber artist.  Very cool – now I want to go check out her store!  I brought Hypoteneuse with me to the movies – it was perfect – the theaters are always cold, and for the first time I was perfectly comfortable watching a movie. 

Today was all about getting ready for summer – we went to the plant store and bought all the veggies for the garden – tomatos, peppers, lettuce, cukes and all that.  And we bought plants for the deck – because I love sitting out on the deck surrounded by flowers….

I have no idea what these are, but thought they were pretty.  But my favorites are always marigolds…

I love them, and have them every year (I love the way they smell).  I also have two rail boxes of herbs, so I’m set for cooking all summer.    The deck looks so pretty now – can’t wait to sit outside and knit.

Speaking of knitting….finished chart 2!

I’m living dangerously now –  I didn’t move the lifeline.  I thought about putting a new one after chart two, but was too lazy to run upstairs to get the laceweight I used for the first lifeline.  I am loving this shawl though – I think its going to be perfect to wear this summer. 

OK, time to go eat – hope you are having a wonderful weekend too!
