Happy Memorial Day Weekend!

Happy Friday Everyone!  First I want to stop and ask that we all take a moment and remember all those that have died defending our country and way of life.  Both are precious and are made more so by the sacrifice they and their families have made.  I offer my heartfelt gratitude!

Now onto yarn business.  As you can see, I am slowly but surely making progress on my sock.  I really want to get the leg of sock done so that the next time I meet up with Mel, I'll be able to learn how to do the heel.  I'm still very pleased with my progress, but I am such a SLOW knitter. I know that I'll get better with time, but for those of you who haven't figured this out already, I'm not the most patient of people.  This is been a wonderful lesson in knitting and patience.

Before I leave you for the weekend, I wanted to share some pictures with you that I'm quite pleased with.  If you've been peaking in on my blog for any length of time, you know that I am not the greatest photographer so when I take a good one, I'm particularly tickled.  These are some pictures from my weekend with the girls that I think are pretty good. Please keep in mind that Mother Nature is a beautiful subject :)

 

This is the lichen that was growing on the fence.

I don't know if you can see the calf, but there is one there nursing.

Beautiful horses and beautiful mountains.

Stone Mountain, NC.  I've climbed this mountain numerous times.  The views are amazing!

Some pretty flowers.  The next one if my favorite.....

I just love the vibrancy of the yellow.  

I hope you've enjoyed the pictures as much as I enjoyed the trip.  I hope you all have a wonderful weekend.  Mine will be a lovely three day weekend and I'm wondering if I can convince Car Guy that spending a day home on the back porch knitting is actually a wonderful way to spend the day.  Wish me luck!  Thanks for stopping by!
