I Like #213

 Welcome to another week of things to like.  I was excited to get to go to Anna's dance recital and piano recital this weekend.  She did great at both and it was super fun to get to see her and spend some time playing with both kids.  And of course the dogs had a blast.  Lots of running and playing and rumpusing.  All five do so well together, and Bentley mostly stays out of the way as the other four careen around the yard.

We also had lots of fun playing with the rats- they're so sweet.  But it's nearly impossible to take a picture of them while they're out playing, so here's one of them sniffing.  Super cute!!

I like knitting!  I finished kniting another pair of ankle socks this week.  I like these short socks for the warmer part of the year.  This pink yarn was leftover from another project (my Deco Drape shawl) and I had almost enough to finish the socks!  I love using up scraps.  I used the Jelly Roll sock pattern but just did a single cuff since I wasn't sure how much yarn I had. They knit up pretty quick! 

I like my quilts! I also finally got all the quilts hung up in my new office.  I have more wall space than my old office (since I lost all my windows) so I brought a bunch more quilts from home.  At least I have super fun bright colors!

I like my flowers!  It's been a very cool wet spring here so my garden is not growing nearly as well as I'd like.  Lot's of stuff hasn't come up and I'm afraid many of my bulbs may have rotted.  But some stuff is growing! I have a handful of blackberries peeking out.

And my annual pots are doing well.  I planted some salvia this year since I had such a hard time finding petunias at first, and it's lovely too.

And here's a Spooky for you.  He thinks he's going to get a bit of cookie. :)

I hope you're having a nice week where you are, click over to Lee Anna's for more things to like this week!
