Let There Be Light

lately, i've been leaving for work a little early so i haven't had time to take pictures.  by the time i get home, well it's nighttime.  so this morning, i got the camera out to show you all what's going on around here.

first off, i bought merino roving.  from michelle at fun with yarn.  it was a visceral purchase based on gut emotion, not at all a cerebral decision.  although i like to think that this is not typical of me, i think it should be.  so like george costanza, perhaps i should begin doing just the opposite of what i normally would do.   see how that works.

isn't it pretty? 

even rocky liked it (he sniffed it and then plopped himself right next to it.  he is half shepherd.  maybe he smelled his flock).

but wait ... that's not all!

guess what this is?

another sock....

(i'm halfway done with the second of the pair)

finally, it feels like spring so much around here, that even my chili pepper plant is confused.

it's flowering!  i'm going to have chili peppers soon!  i've never grown a real fruit before!  ay caramba!!!
