Some Christmas Photos

These handsome fellows are my grandsons. They are Jay, Joshua, and Nathan.

And this young lady is my only granddaughter, Hailey.

Still Knitting Sweaters

Even though it's in the 90's outside, I'm still making sweaters and matching caps for infants and toddlers at the Spokane Valley Partners. I am addicted to having knitting needles in my hands when I sit down! It's one of those "good" addictions so it's okay.

Yesterday, I had to drench the garden...it was SO dry out there. More like the Mohabi Desert.
Then, that eve I watched so many Tom Petty utube videos that I was too hyper to fall asleep... felt like I'd just come home from one of his concerts.
We've expanded our neighborhood garden to another area this year so lots more room for cuc's and zuc's. Looks like one neighbor has a lot of strawberries she got from somewhere, (they're in buckets of water right now) and will soon plant them.
We pulled out many old shrubs and Oregon grapes this season. YIPPEY! No more spikey sharp leaves to step on in barefeet!
I was yelling and complaining all through the 1st Seahawk pre-season game against the Cards. And here it ends up we win 24 - 17. Egg on my face.

It's Still Cold Here!

I can't believe the cold temps we're having compared to the rest of the country. It's really starting to depress me. I want to get out in the dirt and dig around so badly. I have sunflower seeds from TX that daughter sent me that I am dying to plant. Oldest son is now living with me and wants some zuccini, so will plant a couple hills this yr. Didn't plant any last year. Boy, my bush beans sure froze nicely. I've been adding them to stew and beef barley soup. Still knitting hats for the disadvantaged kids in my area. I have a fav cable pattern that I am using now.
