summertime is crochet time

another cozy blanket for a wee one, this time for my dear friend's little boy

yet another crochet blankie in the works

I'm loving the Capresso FrothPro Erik (i.e., Paul) gave me for Mother's Day. It works beautifully, and I've been enjoying cappuccinos out on the front porch lately.
Other things making me happy these days...

puttering around in the garden Anathem by Neal Stephenon on audiobook (absolutely engrossing) Family Tree, an HBO series by Christopher Guest starring Chris O'Dowd (so funny!) Doubleknit podcast (Erin and Jessica talk knitting, books, movies... you know, all the important things) jam tarts, best eaten outdoors this little guy (now crawling up a storm!):

the bounty of local veggies from our neighborhood farmers' market:

baked summer squash chocolate chip zucchini bread brie, pesto, and sweet pepper grilled cheese sandwiches one pan baked salmon and veggies

Yes, that is the cat sitting on the dining room table, because that is how we roll, folks.
