I have one pair of socks done for DH and another pair started to me. I bought this yarn off the Internet this winter and I can't remember from who. I know I paid around $26.00 a skein for it as it was hand painted yarn. I ordered two skeins cause I wasn't sure how much it would take to do a pair of socks with...and guess what? I have more then enough for a second pair for me and probably a little pair for DGD!
And I have knit two sweaters and one is off to Texas as I write this along with the Aran cardigan I had finished a while ago. This one is knit from Lion brand Vanna yarn. DIL loved the one I knit for Sarah. And I was told that she has already worn it last week during the rain and cold weather we had.
Dawn at camp! Red sky in the morning, sailors take warning. Red sky at night, sailors delight! And did we get rain! And cold weather to go with it. Had to build a fire everyone day for the last week as the weather has just not been spring like at all!
Lady Slippers. I have some other photos I took but on another stick so will add them the next time I am in town.
This is a trailer fire that happened on Sunday, June 8 in our little town. A 41 year old woman died in it. You can read about it at at www.bangornews.com It is a tragic death to say the least. I didn't know the lady, but I pray God has her now and she is not suffering! 
Here I am holding a male hummingbird. It was on one of the window feeders and wasn't moving. I went out and it just dropped into my hand. It was breathing so I brought it in the camp and held it for about an hour in my hands. It had been in the mid 30's overnight and I think the poor little bird was cold! It took a long time for it to start to move around in my hands..as it warmed up it opened its eyes up and kept trying to hide in my hand. So I took it outside and put it back by the feeder and it flew up and landed on it. It still just sat there so I picked it up again and went back inside. It was well over an hour by then and it was time to see if it could fly. And it did! I was able to take two pictures of it as I was alone at camp at the time. It was amazing to do this! The humming birds are back for the summer and I do enjoy watching them at the feeders.

Wow! That's a great story. The bird must have been cold and scared for you to let it hold it that long. He knew you were taking care of him! Glad camp is going well for you. Great knitting, too! Take care:)
wow your nature photos are truly amazing. I am glad you got the hummingbird to warm up. Congrats on being a granma again. ( I read it at Cactus Needles!) The ankle surgery does not sound like fun but hopefully it will make your life easier after it is done.
