Summer Colors Blanket


This is the latest item I am working on. I love the bright colors. It is a rather light weight blanket that I am crocheting. It is done in a crocheted ripple pattern.

I wanted to post a pic of this squash we grew from seed this year. It is a kind of patty pan variety. I love having squash for supper. I slice it up in a skillet with herbs and a little parm on the top.

This morning, after teaching my cycling class I drove out to the farmers market. I see two blueberry pies and some bread and butter pickles in my future. I also picked out a Holmes county parmesan cheese.

It was pretty but, really humid when we made it to the falls.
It would be a lovely place to visit in the spring.

J brought us to Fulton Farms to pick strawberries. Too bad we were one week to late for strawberries. We picked out some black rasberries for me to make a pie for his birthday. It turned out really good.

Today is my 9th Anniversary. Jeremiah had this waiting for me on the kitchen table the other night. He is working days this weekend.
I thought it was sweet of him to pick out such a lovely watch for me.

This morning after teaching my Saturday cycling class I stopped off at the farmers market. Here is what I picked out. I purchased some peanut butter cookies to bring my girlfriend. I am meeting her for lunch today at The Greene (a large shopping center). I am sure her three kids will love them.
This week I have taught 8 classes in the past 10 days. I have one more tomorrow to teach until my next break. One of the other instructors is getting ready to move and wanted me to take on her classes along with mine this week. I am wondering how many people show up tomorrow on Fathers day for class?

These are a brandy wine variety of tomato. My Mom said they would be big and dark tomatoes.

Who can tell me what kind of cuke this is? I thought I planted regular cukes and a pickleing variety. I guess the plants were mislabeled at the store.
