Moving Forward

After many hours, I have yet to figure out how to relink all of my photos from past posts.

I am praying that someone will figure it out for me and it's an easy answer.

Fingers crossed!!!

But in the meantime, I miss being here and posting about farm life, knitting,

family and daily adventures.

So, here goes. Moving forward...starting from scratch.....

I finished up the triangle scarf/shawl this week.

I took the picture before I blocked it because I was just too anxious. 

It's in a fun color combo and I'm looking forward to wearing it this fall.

Yesterday was a hot summer day and for some reason my boys didn't feeling

like going to the beach. (I could spend every day all day there, but what ever...)

So Lizzie and Wade joined us for a quick trip up to Holmdel Park.

 

 Where the corn was VERY tall

 And the baby cow was born...Chase stealing a chance to pet the Mommy cow

 The cutest little kittens were there. One was named Lizzie! 

Notice the woman through the barn door, shoveling manure in her dress.

Glad we don't have to wear the traditional garb anymore!

 A woman that was working at the farm had just made a fresh pail of ice cream. 

We got to give the kitten some licks off of our fingers.

 We put some on Wade's toes!

 A day camp was there with their yellow shirts on. Garrett fit right in!

 No luck in the fishing pond

 Staying hydrated

Fun outing on a nice summer day.

Here's to moving forward with the blog. I HOPE to figure out how to get the rest of the photos asap.

Outside and other random pictures

It's true. It's not a joke. It's warm enough to be OUTSIDE without freezing!!!! Woohoo!!!!

Please stay like this. I would be eternally grateful to the weather gods.

MomMom....we're talking to you!

So in the spirit of nice weather, here are a bunch of random, totally unrelated photos of some time spent outside, cousins playing with bubbles, wearing out a dog and some fiber goodness.

And not to mention the farm now has a new beautiful herdsire.

My mom and dad won some MAJOR awards at North American this past weekend.

Well, technically the alpacas won the awards, but you know what I mean. Very exciting stuff.

Here's a photo of the new guy and my mom.

His name is Smoke Ring and he's a light rose grey.

He won Reserve Color Champion. Can't wait to see him in person!

And now for the random photos.....

A little boy who insisted on wearing his 11 year old's mickey mouse tshirt.

Caught him terrorizing his goldfish. And I'm proud that they're still alive. Might be a record for us.

Saying good morning to the alpacas.

 The new pen. Quarantine for the show animals

Going over to cousin Wade's house to play with bubbles. Chase is showing them to him.

 

 Pop!

Littlest cousins

 

Look at this beautiful baby. Wade is almost 7 months old and cute as a button.

 Hi neighbors!!!!

 Baby feet. The only time feet don't make me want to vomit.

 So darn cute

 Hi Mr.Wade. Almost nap time.

 Finn not missing out on the bubble popping.

Counting the steps

 A new skein by Lizzie

 Lizzie is now dyeing her own roving for spinning! So fun.

 Hand dyed roving being spun into yarn....

A custom knit sweater I'm working on. It's the second sweater I've knitted for the same baby. First one was made for her before she was born. She's too big, so making another one. It's for her christening which is this weekend. I've been knitting non-stop since getting the yarn on Thursday afternoon. My arms were completely asleep when I woke up this morning!!!!

 

So how was that for random?

I hope it's getting warm where you are too. We need it!!!!!
