This Summer's Garden

Earlier, I posted pictures of my new keyhole gardens.  See how they grow:





This was a month ago. I'll have to take more soon.

This is what I get out of my garden:




Deep in the winter, it's going to be worth the effort.

Parting Gift

One of our summer interns at the library is leaving us on Monday to return to college. He's worked for us in Information Services for two summers now and I hate the day he leaves. I honestly don't know how we get along without him the rest of the year.

Anyway, we were trying to think of something we could give him for a parting gift to show our appreciation.

If you know me at all, you know that I suggested that I crochet an afghan. I honestly didn't know if I could turn out a whole afghan in three days since my arm works pretty well now, but I haven't pushed it that hard and that repetitively since March.

I had yesterday off. I took some ibuprofen and picked up the crochet hook. The long and the short of it is that I crocheted for 12 hours yesterday (with a few breaks for eating and walking the dogs). The blanket was finished except for a couple of rows to finish either end by 11 pm.

And here it is. Ready to be gifted.
