when the sun shines... for a second day!

Mr F.B. is finally allowed a (grudging) wash.
The sky is blue.
There's rhubarb crumble for tea.
The seedlings win places in bigger pots.

Stripes in the baby's knitting take a distinctly subtler turn, while reading matter becomes decidedly featherweight.

  1. We have a Lovey here that could use a little wash and sunshine too, but there is a certain someone who still won't consider it!

    Ecru has become one of my favor colors lately and your puerperium is coming a long nicely.

    Have a great yarn along day.

  4. I just harvested a bunch of rhubarb and gave it away with eggs, the leaves make such lovely compost!

  6. Rhubard is my favorite favorite food---I think it should have its own food group!!!

  7. I remember those days when I had to sneak my daughters bear into the washer after she was sound asleep. :-) She still has him (she's 12 now) but now I can wash him without having to be sneaky about it. Seeing your rhubarb makes me a little sad. All three of our plants died last year because it was an extremely wet spring and the three we planted this year, didn't make it for some reason either. Can't wait to see more of your knitting...

  9. Your rhubarb is wonderful...how did the crumble turn out? I have rhubarb and harvested some of it, but think I can harvest a bit more this week! I like to just chop it up and cook it a little in a pan with a bit of water and sugar to taste and then serve it with yogurt and crepes. ♥

  10. Oh, but featherweight reading is a favorite here! :) Your baby knit is so soft and delicate looking.

  12. Oh, I see a familiar sight...the puerperium. Love that pattern! I love the color you've chosen as well. Babies look so lovely in cream.

    Rhubarb crumble sounds delicious!

  14. Love seeing Mr FB sunbathing! Whose babygrow? Is that his or is it for the new baby?
    So, if you are reading some lightweight stuff, I'm guessing you're not reading the new bookclub one?
    I sat down with Steve and a beer an made a start on it. About a quarter of the way through the beer and I had counted about 5 deaths and a rape! A bit scared to keep reading.

    1. Yay! Although, must be annoying for all those folk taking advantage of the collapsing Greek economy and the £130 package holidays - perhaps there's some sort of karma involved re not taking advantage of poeple when they're down...
