Hmmm,,,, Wild Berries,,,, My Latest Passion

We just returned from our “morning” walk (Joe worked almost until the real morning and thus slept until almost noon).

Along our way we found some lovely wild berries, we don’t know if they are wild black berries or wild black raspberries. But they are very yummy whatever they are!

I followed Joe’s instructions: filled my palm with the darkest ones we could find and pop all of them into my mouth, OH what a lovely taste, pure delight!

Unfortunately, we didn’t have the camera, I promise to take a photo soon.

And the knitting continue. Last night I finished the first Noro sock pair and started a second one right away.  The sweater is about 2/3 of a sleeve and a little body length away from completion too. Photos of those, soon too after the 26th (I forgot they are kind of a secret present, will explain).

Delight

I love the weather in Toronto.
I think I was brought here just so there will be at least one person in the whole big city, happy with the gray, rainy weather at the end of June!

We  still use our down comforter – what a delight!
Yes, I know I am weird, what can I say, I always like different things than most people.

At least my Mexican Chickens share my delight:

What is all this green stuff all over this place?

So much rain, in June? and what is all this green stuff every where?

We bought these chickens in Nogales, Mexico – the closest Mexican town to Phoenix, Arizona. Unfortunately,  I can’t find any description of this type of pottery on the internet, probably because I don’t know its proper name, I am sorry about that. They are made of some kind of stone and are quite heavy with bright colorful painted decorations. You can find different animals in all different shapes and sizes.

And the knitting continues, it is just that all my current projects are not in a very photogenic stage right now.

Happy Canada Day

Oh what a lovely gray, rainy afternoon!

Oh what a lovely gray, rainy afternoon!


  • People who go sit out on the veranda to enjoy the rain not the sun.
  • People who love the cold (everything is relative you know,,,)  rainy days in mid June.
  • People that are amazed by the green things all around them and the beautiful blooms everywhere.
  • People that are pleased to wear long sleeves and woolly creations in mid June.
