Simon Supervises
Winding sock yarn. You can't see the swift or the winder in this picture, but they are there. And yes, this is a lot of sock yarn for a non-sock-knitter!

Trash Night
In the rain. After two weeks of stacking up, I finally braved the elements and hauled all this out to the curb for tomorrow's pickup. There's still more in the back but I was drenched and achy, and going to be late for class!

Local Mts
I think my favorite part of this picture is the juxtaposition of the palm trees in the foreground, and the snowy mountains.

Morning Coffee
Experimenting with and without flash. This one was taken without. The color is truer, but the image is a little more blurred.

Hi-Hi
When it's late, and I'm tired, and it's too dark to go outside, the cats are always happy to oblige. This is Hi's usual place when I'm on the computer. Simon hangs out on the other side, usually trying to sit on the mouse.

Sunset After Rain
Self-exlanatory! Of course, we did get more rain after this...but it was a nice sunset anyway!

Rose Basket
Got this basket several years ago. There's a matching heart wreath, too. So pretty! It makes me feel like springtime.

Rainy Day Again
Experimenting with light: took one photo with flash, one without.
Picked the best one to showcase here! I loved the line of raindrops on the rafters, and the way the light filtered through the slats.

Boats at the Boat
The "new" Boak, aka Clearman's Galley. They've managed to redo it, keep a lot of the feeling of the old place, but update it and class it up just a little!

Mimi's Kale
I tried to capture the droplets of water on the curly leaves of the kale, but the sun was so bright I couldn't see what I was doing! It still came out pretty well.

Audrey's Hat II
This is the second, smaller hat. Much better fit--and in a year or so, she can wear the big one and Li'l Sissy can wear t his one!

Mountain View
Looking north from the sidewalk in front of the house, clouds and the mountains in haze. At least today was cool after the thunderstorm last night!

Clouds
I love the lighting on the clouds today. Now if they would just bring us some desperately-needed rain...

Billboard
This one tickles me! And, of course, from this angle, you CAN see Trader Joe's!
Taken from the left-turn lane, while waiting for the signal to change, from inside the car.

The "Christmas Camellia"
This is the big camellia bush near the front door. It's currently as tall as the roof. Always blooms beginning at Christmastime, and is an extremely vivid red. Also, this is the fullest camellia I've ever seen--there are hundreds of petals on each blossom!

Step Three
Here's the blocks from the previous photo, with the next strip added. Half of them are "dark" (ie, black and white) centers with "light" (ie, yellow/green) for the next row, and the other half reverse that plan.
Before I quit for the night, I did get the next strip sewn to half of them.

Step Two
...of Quilt Two! This is another Bento Box quilt, using black and white pre-cut strips from New Moon Textiles and yellow and green strips I cut from scraps and leftovers from other projects.
Step One was cutting the fabrics. Step Two? Sewing the two center squares together.
On to Step Three!

Audrey, in Hat!
Finished! I was afraid it was too big, and would have to be the Mommy part of a Mommy-and-Me, but it's not all that much too big. Now to finish the second (smaller) hat and see if it will work better for her, or be for Li'l Sis.

Sunset
Taken from the end of the walkway, looking west. I like the way the branches are silhouetted against the sky.

Finished Hat
Well, it's done, and it's cute. Its only problem? It's too big! What?
Same number of stitches as the other hats, but I guess since it's not ribbing it came out much larger.
Cast on a smaller one. We'll see what happens next!

Oxalis Blossom
After the first "good" rain of the season, the little oxalis bulbs sprout and are soon blossoming. The leaves are velvety green, the flowers lavender. If you look closely, you can see a liquidambar burr nestled down there; the leaves are from the liquidambar tree as well.

Now, Angel, you...
Someone truly believes that the manger set is her dollhouse. She loves to arrange and rearrange the pieces. Sometimes she lays them all down and sings "Naptime" to them.
Camellia in the Rain
We needed the rain so badly, and it was a good one. Hopefully the plant will soak up enough water to help it along!
