On Monday I overcame a personal knitting challenge. I installed a zipper on the Boar’s Saranac sweater! Many thanks to my zipper mentor Peggy for her expert guidance. I even took pictures to document the event and to possibly do a little tutorial.

Well, it turns out I need a camera tutorial. I got a bit overzealous with the delete key and poof, they’re gone!

As a consolation you get more pug videos. Let me first say however, that I did not realize I would not be able to rotate the picture and so much of the video is sideways and also I DO NOT sound like that. gah! If I could figure out how to mute that damn voice, I would.

okay, so now I don’t know if this video is going to work. yes, it is one of those days.

whaddya think this means?

The other day, Vicki and I were talking about gardening and I mentioned that years ago I planted a rhubarb. It is something of an heirloom plant – my grandmother always had rhubarb in her yard and would make pies, ice cream topping sauce and some kind of tart/sweet side dish (on the order of applesauce). It is also perennial so even though I really don’t harvest it, it comes back every spring and I get not only all the happy memories, but also the notion that I am a gardener. Although I threw in that trowel years ago.

So it turns out that Vicki shares a similar rhubarb sentiment and I offered to split some off and send it to her. Well, this is what I saw. I really don’t remember this happening in years past, but with the way my mind is these days, who the hell knows?


My rhubarb flowered!
