We've had massive quantities of rain in NM and it is so beautifully green here with lots of flowers as you can see in the photos of our front and back yard.

I made a second Christmas mitten - can you see what I did wrong? In the top part of the left mitten I held the white yarn in my left hand (making it dominant) and in the right mitten I held the white yarn in my right hand. Quite the difference, eh?



Massive preparations are beginning for the party of the year. Yes, it is Peaches' 4th birthday on Labor Day. (I actually don't know her birth date since she was a rescue but I did some calculations and picked the nearest holiday.) Peaches says everyone is invited for carrot cake and fruit punch.
