Well, I didn't get both fronts and sleeves done the other day, just one of them. Will get the other done today and start on the back/2 sleeves, as Radley at Amazing Threads had that 40" ckn I needed.

I just picked more snow peas, as it poured last night. I do love pea vines. There's something magical about them. About how the sunlight dapples through them. It takes me away. I'm always wishing I could be small enough to crawl into the middle of the vines and be surrounded by those lovely green vines with little purple flowers that then become peas, especially on a hot, summer day. So, 45 minutes later, I finally pull myself away from jiggling the vines and come inside. I lightly jiggle the vines to see the peas. It's almost an art to find them, as they blend in so perfectly with the green leaves.



While I was out shooting the vines, I got one of the huge, shagbark hickory tree that is the focus of the rear lawn. Boy, when that one dumps its leaves in autumn, it's some pile to shred! It's a lovely, though odd-looking tree. Its bark actually peels off the tree in chunks. Nice shade tree and perfect for a swing, which I get to use every now and then.
