Moss and Twig

Lots of trees + summer storms = plenty of falling twigs and branches on our property. I came out to walk the boys and one of them grabbed this moss-topped stick in the grass.

I took it from the puppy, of course, but I couldn't toss it away. I don't know why; it's not exactly what you'd call beautiful. The twig part snapped the second time I handled it, too. But for whatever reason it grabbed my attention. I've never seen this kind of moss before in this area.

I suppose there's something about it that is beautiful -- to me. I stuck both pieces in a little jar and I'm going to look at them for a while.

Stuff

After finding this Caron one pound skein of lovely peach yarn in my thrifted lot I raided my stash for two cakes of Mandala in Pegasus, which matches it perfectly. For practice and hand therapy I'm going to make another Worth Street Afghan with this free pattern , but this time I'll use the yarn that was recommended for it plus the one pound skein. I'm not quite ready to do the vintage/recycled linen quilt I had planned (still a bit too nervous about the idea), so I'm going to use some color therapy and make a quilt from these thrifted green fat quarters. I considered doing another Yellow Brick road patchwork pattern, but I might go with a split rail fence like this one.

Better than Fried

I cut some chives from the kitchen garden to make garlic-chive baked fries for dinner. This is a great side dish for veggie burgers. Click here for the recipe from Taste of Home.com.

In the Kitchen Garden

Our strawberries are taking over the kitchen garden, but I don't mind. This week I want to make some strawberry banana nice cream (a vegan version of ice cream) and maybe a chocolate cake with berries and cream for the topping. There's thyme in the garden now, too, which I'll dry and jar for cooking along with the chives and the oregano. Next we'll plant cucumbers, as I use a ton of those in our salads and for snacks.
