Finally a moment...

I can hardly believe it has been so long but hope that some photos will make up for it. This shot looks as if it should be in some exotic locale, but in fact was seen in the little lake (pond) area in the back of a trailer park. Shows that beauty can be found anywhere, eh?

These two were posing just like this and I had to stand on my brakes and back up (thankfully nobody behind me) to catch them. No fears, they stayed this way.

Yarn bombing day at the Mockingbird Cafe a little while ago. It was fun, but a hot morning! Nothing to compare with what we are experiencing now but hot enough to head to the shade every few minutes. The owner of the cafe was thrilled, hugged us all and gave us complimentary coffees, which we didn't expect but appreciated. The stair railing was adorned as well, and has held up pretty well despite rainy days.

A Hospital visit for Sophie, and playing with the camera app on my phone to get different color effects. Liked it. And Sophie got to go home the same day, so far everything is fine.

The cactus fruit was really beautiful in front of what used to be Los Tres Amigos but now is El Maguey in Bay St. Louis. They remodeled just after this was taken and uprooted this and planted it along the sides of the parking lot.

New construction along the beach front in Bay St. Louis, scandalous in that after finishing it they denied permission to use this to access the Beach!! Plans are surely in effect to remedy this, in the meantime its a great place to get a walk in, in the cool of the evening. (What cool?)
I'm trying to think what I've been working on. I finished Madli's shawl but gave it away before I could get some decent photos of it. I think I got one drying, I'll have to look for it. Working on a little dress for a six to eight week old neice, socks, of course and another petal shawlette out of a yarn I spun from Martie's Spin Art series from a few years ago. The 'orchid' yarn. Thinking of sewing a summer dress, and another apron. Hmmmm...
Hope all are well and keeping cool!
