Where does the Time go?


Well here we are over 2 weeks into summer and I am still wearing a sweater...We have had a rainy summer so far but the weather seems to be changing and we are having a full moon tonight, as the farmers say "full moon brings a change in the weather" Let's hope so!

I can't believe its been over 2 months since I blogged... I have been doing a lot... I guess well lets get started ...whats been going on sicce I last checked in...

In May; I went to St. FX University for a week to start a 3yr course on Youth Ministry.


We bought a new truck just in time to drive my DD to her prom.



In June; I graduated from a course I was taking here for the past 2 yrs.
My DD graduated from grade 12 and will be leaving for University in Sept.



She is planning on becoming a Dental Hygienist! I have an old dentist chair that I bought at an auction when I lived in BC...I wonder if that was an influence on here career choice... hmmmm?




June was also a month of house cleaning and painting and new windows....no wonder I haven't done much knitting! My DH's parents were up for a nice 2 week visit first time since we moved to PEI. We did a bit of sightseeing and I only took a few pictures...silly girl.

These are the wind turbins up at West Cape.





This was on the way home from a day in C'town around 9pm






My DMIL is a wonderful baker so the oven got a great
workout!



Well since this a knitting blog I should end with a bit about my knitting! I have started a
Juno Regina scarf from knitty

More info can be seen on my ravelry page. It is nice to knit in the summer since it is so light and airy.
I am still working on the Botanical Medallion from Vogue Knitting Summer 09 issue. I thought the medallion would be hard to knit but it was finished in a day and the outside ring is taking a bit longer!







I have lots more to write about and pictures to post but I think I have dragged this out long enough for one day.
Chat again soon!

Peace and Blessing

Happy Sunny April 1st

Monday during the storm!

Tuesday our driveway!



Well we definitely had a bit of a snow storm Monday...Our driveway was full of 4 foot drifts and the plow didn't get here til almost 4pm! DH could not get to work...and he was not a happy camper! I on the other hand totally enjoyed the storm and knit away happily! I even made muffins last night...shh! I don't bake very often and they were gone before they even cooled!

So the schools were closed for 2 days and this morning it was so foggy I couldn't see the bus coming down the road(my usual job every morning at 7:45am waiting at the window to tell my DD that the bus is coming)I couldn't see it till it was right in front of our yard! But an hr. later the sun had burned off the fog and was shining brightly " what a difference a day makes"!



I have decided that I will take a picture out my window and we can watch the changes over the next few months. I have a beautiful forsythia bush, (it was a tree but I trimmed it down after our ice storm last year)out side my window that has the prettiest blooms before any leaves seem to appear on other trees...any way I'll take pictures to watch the progress! I feel like there may be more baking tonight...maybe I should take a picture of that too since it is a rare occurrence!

Oh I forgot to tell you that my wonderful DS#2 made my ravelry button for me(over there on the left)...he is such a computer genius! Thanks Josh!!
