all things bright...and beautiful...

all I did to this was crop it

the colours are as the camera saw them

a black eyed Susan opening up in the warm and slightly humid morning

this is the one I showed you the other day

open and striking in the light

there are many many lilies this year

but this is the only one with the sun inside it

again all I did was crop a bit

the light is wonderful outside

but there is some shade 

for the ferns

this one is so old but it never stops unfurling itself

in the dappled shade of the bed

the sun drops are still blooming

and making shadows on themselves

they really do light the place up

and it's such a shame they don't last longer

there was only one bee that I saw

and these blooms should be covered in them by now

and butterflies too

but I haven't seen any yet

nor the humming birds

maybe I'm just not looking hard enough!!!

or it's still too early for them to be here in numbers

will keep watching!!

meanwhile inside

not much in the way of hooking or clicking has been happening

I'm in a bit of a lull and it's mainly because I'm at a loss as to what to do

I think Annette has figured out the stitch mystery to her satisfaction

she says it looks like a sc ch1

always the simple answers it seems

:) 

I did buy some mohair that I saw online somewhere

'coz I've never had any

it was on sale so I got it

(ever the tight wad is she)!!!!

but it made me start on this scarf/shawl that I saw on

Ravely

and in other's blogs

especially may favourite knitter of all

Andi 

so I just got down to it and found it to be so easy I feel completely stupid for thinking I couldn't do it

we do that sometimes

 don't we

silly us

!!!

so... I am doing it slowly and steadily

and I'm dreaming of other shawls I might make

someday

in the future

up the road

down the line some time

the one I truly

 deeply 

passionately 

want to make ...may just be beyond me

because I think it is charted and I don't do knitting charts

but maybe 

if I concentrate really really hard 

and ask for help from all of you who know how to read knitting charts

one day I may have

 this

I'll dream a little while longer and try to figure it all out

after all

 there was a day not that long ago when we couldn't do any of the things we can do now

so 

on that positive note

I wish you all a good week end

may it be dry and warm and wonderful

and

fluffy

just like my big ball of

mohair
