June

The common orange day lilies started blooming this week. They're so easy to grow, but they do multiply. I like them, so I don't mind having more. The flowers are edible. I haven't tried them, but supposedly you can eat them in fritters, like squash-blossoms.

Thursday evening, Punky and I picked about 3 cups of black raspberries. I have no idea how many she ate while we were picking them.

It's been hot so far this month, and rained either in the morning or evening most days which is good for all the plants that I've transplanted and our vegetable garden.

This month is busy with family birthdays: aunt, grandma, nephew, niece, dad and uncle. I'm only knitting one gift, a shawl for Grandma. Her Christmas-gift scarf is still not finished, but it's 85 degrees, so she wouldn't wear it now anyway.

Went to Hoosier Hills Fiber Arts Festival after work today with Punky. It was interesting. I told myself I couldn't buy any yarn, as I have a huge stash already. I bought a felted purse and some stitch markers instead. Maybe next year I'll sign up for a class or two.
