Look at what bloomed! Isn't this the prettiest day lily? Even though I'm not a fan of pink, I really like these dark pink, kind of brick pink ones. This is the only clump of this color lily across the whole retaining wall. Every year I'm surprised to see them. One of these years I'll remember they're coming and not be quite as thrilled.
We had a rainy morning and there were still droplets on these Stella d'Oro lilies when I took their picture. They looked so pretty in the afternoon sunshine, glittering there.
Today's drawing prompt was Seasons. I thought about choosing one and then decided to draw a little picture of all four of them. How can I choose? There's something I love about each one. Maybe not the dead of winter but sometimes I like it.
I worked on rewriting the blurb for Christmas at Seaview this afternoon. I posted it on the Ad School FB page earlier and just before I came to blog I checked my post and had a great comment so I rearranged some sentences and I think it's better.
I cast on 100 stitches with the brown llama yarn and started knitting the Llama Boyfriend Hat. It's just knit 3, purl 2 ribbing which is easy to see what I'm supposed to do and needs to be knitted to 6" or so before the crown decreases when I'll need the pattern. I'm looking forward to the crown because you decrease out every other rib so the top looks really interesting. It'll be a while, though. I'm a slow knitter.
I heard a thump on the patio door while I was knitting and turned thinking another bird had crashed into the glass. Instead there was this young bunny standing on its front paws on the patio door looking in. I guess it wanted to see what I was up to.
My tenant texted me this morning that they had water in their basement. They can't see where it's coming from but when it rains hard the water comes in. I should probably call the basement fixit guys. Just dandy. I love being a landlord.
