Hazy, Lazy Days

It sure has turned to summer around here. The weather has been hazy, hot and humid with thunderstorms popping up - it's been feeling more like August than July, but I guess summer is summer!

We got another veggie delivery yesterday. More green goodness!

I'm finding it hard to keep up - we get another delivery before we've even finished the last one. This week we got fresh beets. Any suggestions on how to cook them best? I have never had fresh before, and I'm not a fan of the canned/jarred ones because of the mushy texture.

We had a wonderful weekend at the trial. Tucker closed the season in style with 2 qualifying rounds, one earning a 3rd place ribbon. Now, we have a nice break from those crazy weekends until the big three day Labor Day trial.

I couldn't leave my sock needles naked for too long, so I cast on for the mad Color Weave socks. Neat pattern.

It looks way more complicated in the chart than it actually is to knit. Even just being a few inches into the first sock, my mind is already wandering to colorwork socks. AGAIN. Sigh.

After two wonderful outcomes, I really want to knit more. A pair for my sister are next in line, and the week we have together at the beach coming up soon seems like a perfect opportunity to get both a bunch of knitting done and a bunch of custom fitting sessions in. Sun, Sand and Socks - what could be better!
