YARN ALONG MAY

Continue to stay at home, being in the higher risk category, (higher risk due to age). 

Yes, we go to the grocery store, pick up occasional to go meals, and best of all we are seeing the kids on a limited basis. We are waiting to see the COVID stats mid May, if numbers are going down, will re-evaluate going out more, if numbers go up, tighten up our 'stay at home' regiment. I don't have high hopes that numbers will go down with so many people NOT wearing masks, feeling it infringes on their constitutional rights. Selfish, selfish people!

In the mean time, getting in daily walks. Taking pictures of amazing things in nature, I'm not sure I would of noticed before 'stay at home'.

GOOD BYE JULY-HELLO AUGUST

Eric and I headed out for an evening walk and I grabbed  the big camera. Oh, how I would love to really understand photography. Reading, and re-reading two of my photography books,

perhaps the info will really click for me this go around. 

The end of summer is in sight and my favorite season directly in front me-FALL. 

Fall here in Colorado will continue to be hot( anything 80 or above is HOT) during most of September and October, but the evenings are dreamy! Cool, beautiful evening skies and magnificient sleeping weather. But first, August... 

It's peach season here in Colorado and we will be going to all the orchards to get as much as I can put up. So exciting...squirreling food away for winter!

I continue to knit slowly on Gus's Ella Funt sweater. My knitting mojo seems to rearing it's lazy head. I'm saying it's the summer, hard to handle wool when its HOT.

Back to my sweater, Gus will need in the fall.

SOCKS AND WALKS

KNITTING: I am almost done with the second stripy sock for my Minnesota girl. Living up North, hand knit wool socks are essential for keeping those toes warm, both inside and outside! 

[sock pattern is just a vanilla sock, yarn was bought at the Yarnery in Minneapolis.]

WALKING:The Front Range in Colorado has been experiencing rather warm Temps. of late! Baby B and I are out walking as often as we can. I pack our stroller with treats, fluids, diapers and quilts{ for the wind that has been blowing none stop out of the North}. Yesterday we walked a total of 6 miles!! That is a new record for us. B will usually nap for about 30-45 minutes during our walk but then is up pointing at everything and talking non-stop. She is an amazing traveler and loves to be outside in the fresh air, getting her vitamin A and D. Today, we will be walking down to Whole Foods with Grandpa for lunch. Whole Foods, round trip will only be about 4.5-5 miles, though hopefully less wind.

I have never understood the need to pay a gym membership for exercise, all one needs to do is leave the car at home at walk. We walk a lot now, doing simple errands that are within 4 miles round trip. If Eric and I go together we can actually carry home, with ease, a weeks worth of grocery needs.  

And as you can see, I have packing the stroller down to a science.
