(Anyone solely interested in knitting news ignore this post or skip down to the previous one.)The big news is that Durwood picked his first tomato of the season yesterday. You can see by the look on his face how much he loves his tomatoes. Tomato Boy is limited to six plants and complains endlessly but we need room in our small garden for the asparagus (thanks, Dad), herbs, and a few other things.
Some bunnies decided that our lilies are the yummiest and nibbled off a bunch of stalks. Durwood
suggested that I put them in a vase to see if they'd
open. I thought not, but was willing to try, so I snapped off some of the long stalks, stripped off the bottom leaves, and plunked them into water. Lo and behold, in a couple of days this is what we've got--and more open ever day. Amazing! (I thought the casual on-the-table pose was okay, but Durwood wanted a more formal pose. Whichever you like better, you can't deny how pretty they are--and how messy our table is.)
