Summer Standard Time

Life moves at a different pace in the summer. It is easy to lose track of the passing of time. It has been hot. We have had rain, both normal showers and the edge of Hurricane Beryl. School is out, so my grandson spends time with us, when he isn't at day camp. We call those days Camp Nana and Grandad.

Last week's camp activity included making strawberry yogourt popsicles.

He chopped and measured the berries, and pureed them in the food processor. Then he added yogourt and mixed it all together. After they were frozen, he gave them a 10/10.

Before he finished school, I made strawberry jam. It will taste wonderful in February.

The knitting continues. I finished my June socks.

I also finished the Charlotte bonnet. Here it is with my other recent finishes.

My July knitting is a shawl (It counts towards my July sock of the month because the yarn is sock yarn, and this is my challenge so my rules,) The Pattern is "Get Set and Go" and it is free for the summer on Ravelry, as a Knit Along from Under the Olive Tree. The yarn is darker than I expected, so the lace has disappeared. It will return with blocking.

Sewing is moving very slowly. My sewing room is too hot most days, so I sew in short bursts. 

Meanwhile, Emme has the right idea.
