Dress Up Your Lights

While my guy and I were out on a long drive we spotted this rusty hulk half-submerged in a little lake.

It was the dream boat of every industrial grunge lover there ever was.

Two crows were using it as a gigantic bird bath, which tickled me.

As we came around for me to take one last photo, I saw an old sign atop it.

I thought the "No Naked Lights" was an interesting warning, so when I got home I looked it up. It's not a joke; it prohibits open flame; fire, open ignition source and smoking, and conforms to some regulation in force since 2019. So there, you learned something, too. :)

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.
