Hot and Sticky

We are in the middle of a scorcher here in the Northeast and I am loving every minute of it--I will be so sad to see the hot days of summer go. It was in the high 90s today and it is going to be like this. Heaven. A true taste of Texas Heaven here in New Jersey. After some significant drama today, we broke out the aeropool and had ourselves some backyard fun. A little beer, some hamburgers, a lot of "running around naked" on Norah's part, some deucing on Harvey's part--fun was had by all.

In other news, I have begun a new knitting project--one that involves a sweater and size three needles. The Baby Boo sweater for a close friend made from an Alchemy Yarns of Transformation pattern. I was initially concerned about the length of time that it would take me to produce the thing (supposed to be a Christmas present), but it is coming along quite well. I am knitting it in the round and making significant progress so I will keep you updated.
Finally, I made myself a simply and tasty dessert last night--one that reminded me so much of my mom that I could cry--strawberries with sour cream and brown sugar. What a treat.
