oh look, there's TWO of them......

Ever notice how knitting the second one of anything goes so much faster?

Nope, I'm still not telling what this is

just the current W.I.P.!

it will become clear eventually

Worked on the "chain" of the current jewelry piece yesterday -- I've managed to do about 13 inches of RAW (that will eventually be "zipped" into a tube), and need to do about 9 inches more --- it takes a lot longer to do an inch when you're working with size 15s! I'm still hopeful about getting it finished by Friday.

Now that we finally have warm weather, we've been working outside some. Yesterday the DH used the little rototiller attachment that goes on the motor for the string trimmer to turn over a section of the back terrace -- we're going to plant some green beans in there today (I'm soaking the seed first).

While the planting is going on I'm going to be looking through a box of miscellaneous stuff we brought with us from California for doing drip irrigation -- I'd like to set up a little system that puts the water right on each little plant but does it all at once with one hook up to the hose.

I had a system like that in our backyard garden in California.

I know I won't be able to ever duplicate this lush green-ness here in the desert, but to put the water in the right place to grow some veggies is the point this summer.

I'm guessing that after I go through the box I'll have a shopping list that will have to wait until pay day to be taken care of, but its a start.

Ok, enough with the pictures making me homesick -- time to get to work here
