Still Partying Like Its 1820

One of our lovely neighbors had a plethora of okra, so we are trying our hand at freezing, frying, and pickling some okra. :)    I'll go ahead and say the fried okra is delicious. Here's to hoping it freezes well....

And I finally finished my shawl!!!

It is the thick and thin yarn that I bought during my trip to Connecticut in March, and I think it turned out amazing! The larger needles really let the yarn's texture show up with a beautiful lace-like pattern, even though it is just a simple stitch. I also made a headband with the remaining creamed coffee colored yarn and will make some fingerless gloves and boot cuffs if I don't run out..

Farming isn't easy, even for the little ones....
