Ready for summer

I finished this summer top just in time for summer. Adri is modeling it in front of the irises.

The yarn is the beautiful variegated "Koigu" which I love to work with. It looks best in various textures. This shell has two different textures. The bottom half is knit in a slip stitch design, the top half an overall cable pattern.

Fishing

Last week has been a bit rainy and foggy.

The yellow pollen from the pines is all over the lake and the fish are biting.

One lone fishermen was out on the lake. I watched him on the same spot for hours.

Feathered guests

Right now we have to tip-toe around cabin 4.

A mother bird built a nest on top of the bathroom window. Today we saw the chicks for the first time; their eyes were closed and their beaks were visible.

Apple Blossoms in Jefferson

Our Sunset Fall visitors love to pick apples with us at Andy Williams' orchard.

Here are this year's blossoms - they promise a great harvest!

Spring Harvest

Shawn is cutting up some dead trees which
were blown over by winter storms;
wood for our campfires.

Daffodils

Harbingers of Spring, a couple of daffodils

grace our lawn

in front of the cabins.

This is Lilli in her new fancy sweater. I found the silk/merino blend yarn at the February Knit and Spa weekend.

800 yds of this wonderful fiber was enough for size 6.
