Frog Spring

In "Home Archeology Today" we report what will be a surprise to no one.

It's a frog.

It's pink,

and it was found under the thicket of lily of the valley that was being thinned to make space for the rain barrel.  No worries, the lily has been moved to create yet another carpet in another part of the garden.  Well, it will be.  Once this guy was out of the ground the Helen's heavens opened up and it began to monsoon. With lightening and thunder.

 

Happy Spring to you too, Helen.

 

Google "frog symbolism" and see what it says about 1) Rain and water and frogs, 2) transitions in this world and the next, 3) communication, Helen style.

 

If it rains without cease for the next 39 days I'll put it back.

Ahem, … Houston? We may have a problem

Remember the cucumbers?

Yeah, well …

I think I can get it under control,

So let that be a lesson to you.  One bush of paste tomatoes and one bush of white tomatoes can still be an ambush.

Have I mentioned the moose to you?

We normally don't have Mooses on the loose here.  He's returned himself to the wild after perusing what was available at the local marsh, Key Food and taking note of the dates for the high school's home games.  He's out there somewhere.

There is sock knitting.  I've ripped out the current Koigu Mori about as many times as it will stand.  Bound to be results sooner or later.

Groupings

 

Lions travel in Prides.

Wales have their Pods.

As we all know zuccini arrive in Zip Codes.

What we have over here at Casa Rosada is a full out Concern of cucumbers.

 

I've been avoiding them.  I go out - pick a dozen, rinse them, bring them in and leave for the city.

That's not working out so well.

So act surprised when you all get pickles for Christmas.

Here's the one that got away.

 

Then I turned around and there were 3 in the sink.  suddenly.  see, more?

Oh, crap. - as we say at work.

Reading the recipes one is fairly horrified at the quantities called for.

"Take 21 pounds of cucumbers"

Oh.  I get it.

 cucumbers yet to be.
 

Not. A. Problem.

Oh, oh - hey.  There will be knitting.  Maybe tomorrow. There are three things lined up for the dye vat today that must be done. I finished a scarf from the spring/summer Knitty - Annis by Susanna IC.  Quick to knit up to great effect.  If it makes it through the dye vat today and I have enough pins to block it out it should be public soon.  Really cute, drapes nicely.  May need about 17 of them.  Will open the Barbara Walker and see what else lends itself to this construction.
