Already the weekend rolls to a close, and it was a long one for us too - we both took off thursday and friday, and OH was it nice to be home for so many days in a row!!
We watched The Burbs Wednesday night to prepare, I had never seen it!! We also watched Superman II, The Descent - OMG it was terrifying, I spent about half of the movie hiding behind my knitting, it was mostly a suspense flick with some gore to set the mood, but it had great build up to the terror, and Reno 911, which was funny if you like the show.
I finally finished the first installment of the mystery stole, there is no way I will be done with the second installment by this friday, so I'm obviously going to be behind for the whole thing. Oh well. I just can't knit it endlessly, it takes too much concentration for me to work on it for more than an hour at a time.
So far it's gorgeous, so it's worth all the trouble...and Duke likes it too...
We had a frog visitor last night, for some reason it decided to scale the window on the side of the front door.
I am still re-finishing tomato, I am much happier this time, I just need to sit down and finish the ribbing on the bottom hopefully I'll have an FO pic of it in a few days.
The herb garden & the marigolds are happy, but everything else is suffering from the drought. You can see one of the less-than-lush beds behind the herb garden. 
I wasn't diligent in watering during the spring b/c we were out of town so much and now there's no point, it's too late for them to catch up and with the drought it seems like a waste. They're mostly perennials, so we'll see how they do next year.
Next up the Sockapalooza socks MUST be knit. They've been started & sitting in a bag for2 weeks now...
