Just keep knitting......
I've been knitting as much as I can on my Girasole, hoping to make it for the wedding but I think I miscalculated when deciding if I had enough time to make the deadline. I didn't take into account things like birthdays (the farmer), out-of-town guests, and all that good stuff!
This is what might happen around our house when the cousins get together:
Besides making unique block/cousin sculptures, we saw a movie, did some swimming, played games, and of course had a cookout for the 4th of July. It was all fun and great to see everyone but now the fair is only a week away and the to-do list is long. I think this summer seems to be going by even quicker than usual because the busy farming season went on so long....in fact it's just finishing up. The farmer still has plenty to do but he was actually home for dinner last night, so that's a good thing.
So far the only thing from the garden has been radishes (not my fav) but youngest boy found this one lone tomato a few days ago - there's many more to come, I hope! The farmer planted 48 tomato plants, luckily tomatoes ARE one of my favorites.
I'll leave you with a few photos from the flower garden and a goodbye from Max & Emma!

The kid covered in the blocks is too funny! My boys would have a blast doing something like that to each other! :)

I loved the cousin sculpure! Great idea to occupy time and a wonderful blog picture. The flowers look great. I love them as much as I do the vegetables. Max and Emma looked like they are getting along just fine. Has she met the farm critters yet? Tell us when your tomatoes are ready. I am curious what you will do with the yield of 48 plants. We have 8 and I don't can. So they might get frozen or dried in the oven. Maybe you can turn me on to some better ideas!

FORTY-EIGHT???? Holy Cow Woman -- you're going to be making human sculptures (very cool btw) out of tomatoes. I see Salsa in your future!!! And yes....it's flying by, isn't it?

I like the cousin sculpture! Wow, that is a lot of tomato plants! I can't wait until we get tomatoes from our CSA.
I am rooting for you to finish your blanket. It's always hard to do anything with house guests.

the block sculpture is too cool! At first glance I thought they were covered in bees or something and thought whoa!

I'm behind on blog reading, due partly to having been on vacation and partly 'cause I'm thoroughly enjoying summer by getting outside as much as possible. So, I'm a tad late in leaving a comment here. I love that block sculpture photo, some wonderful creativity went into this activity. All your photos are gorgeous, thank you for sharing them.
