We here at Needle & Hand just had a wonderful week in the beautiful Adirondacks. In spite of a few black flies we hiked & kayaked. It was a great get away and now it is time to start using those hands to start planting. We live in the woods and are frequented by deer on a daily basis. Over the many years we have lived here it has always been a challenge to plant a garden and not have it eaten by our four legged friends. When we finally took our redwood hot tub out of service we found a new life for it-our kitchen garden. Here is is after a long winter. Today I started the process of putting in new soil and planning out what we'd like to have growing there. Tomorrow the sage, rosemary & basil will go in. I'm thinking some green beans & lots of cut flowers & in the middle we'll place some patio tomatoes. The black flies are hanging out here in the Berkshires but it sure is wonderful to be outside.
An update on my knitting. I finished the surprise gift and love it. I'm getting ready to turn the heel on the grey socks. The sewing machine is calling to me. Maybe on a rainy day.
