Vacaaaaaaaation Time!

Oy, we leave for the beach in 18 hours or so, and I've got plenty to do! My to-do list:
-Clean up kitchen and clean out fridge
-Pack
-Over water all the houseplants and garden
-Reprogram thermostat
-Pick all ripe and halfway ripe veggies from the garden so that nothing rots on the vine

Speaking of the garden, I've been marveling over my gorgeous okra, which I love to eat, but also the flowers that grow on this plant. Seriously lovely. I like this pic because of all the lovely bugs in my garden too. Hope they don't eat veggies while we're away!




I went to my yarn shop today and picked up some goodies to work on while we're at the beach.




I think I'll have plenty to work on! That's two hanks of Linen Tweed and two of Cotton Classic mercerized cotton for dishcloths, 8 skeins of Sirdar Click for a sweater, and one super cool skein of Sitron Trekking sock yarn for my first pair of socks! And the new sock book by Ann Budd, sock needles, and a few new stitch markers. Yep, I'll be busy. I think I'm starting on the socks, because that's something new to me.
