Potatoes and Sweaters


Hey, that's my bone!
    Jeff...with help from Fanny...dug potatoes on Wednesday while I worked in Cooperstown.  He's been trying all season to get the pH in those boxes down...and he did...just not low enough for the red potatoes to really like.  The white and blue potatoes are good size, and some of the red ones, too, but they all could be bigger.  Oh, well, there's always next season. 
    This is the geranium that Joanie gave me in 2009!  Isn't it beautiful!  Couldn't resist taking a photo of it. It has lived longer than any other geranium I've ever heard of!
   I took a couple of apple hats and the 2 sweaters I finished to the shop with me Wednesday.  This (r) is a Flower Set.  They sold well last year and this spring but seem to have slowed down.  
   And, I finally got the pin-striping finished on this size 2 baseball sweater.  I thought I'd never finish!  Each pin-stripe is embroidered
by hand...I worked on them for 4 days!  I wish I had blue baseball buttons instead of the regular red ones.  Oh, well.  I make one Pin-Stripe Special a year...no matter what price I put on it, it takes too much time to finish it.  
   Jeff picked the first zucchini of the season and that will be for supper tonight,  Can't wait!
