you know with absolute certainty that somewhere in this larger than life stash of unfinished projects and random bags there IS a #6 circular needle longer than 16"??... and 30 minutes of agonizing searching fails to uncover (literally)it??? I hate it! Tonight I decided to resurrect the Sakori vest/could be jacket and managed to finish the seed stitch border on the other side (bottom front edge up over shoulder and down back edge), re-read instructions for creating the front borders, was ready to start and all I could find was the 16" #6 circ. and that just isn't going to work!! So, i gave up the search and will go to bed. It will be the second night in recent history when it's cool enough to sleep and will probably require a blanket... yippeeee.
and a note for the garden diary: picked the first red ripe tomato today (yum) and there are 3 eggplants almost ready to harvest, and several more cucumbers and zucchini squash. Jim got all the raised beds lined with wire so the underground rodents aren't eating the beets and pulling the green bean plants down into their dining rooms. whatever these creatures are, they are bigger than gophers and have been known to chew thru the main large (probably 3" to 4" diameter) roots of 10 year old wine grape plants.

Do you have moles? We do and Kelsey and her cats catch them then leave their lifeless bodies in the barn for me-yum!
Let me know you are alive. Going to the Sheep Dog trials in Booneville today. Spinning and weaving there too will wear a red BSG t-shirt a friend gave me.

yep, Terry, we probably do have moles, but they aren't the big problem. and we have 2 fat and lazy outdoor cats who will have nothing to do with anything as mundane as catching rodent pests! at least the large rodents can't eat the green bean plants this year!
Oh, yeah, I've had that feeling. I've even gone as far as knowing that there were TWO size 8 circulars somewhere in this house!
