I’m home on vacation this week. John’s sister Ena is supposed to be here this week, but the pandemic had other plans. I’ve had the vacation time blocked out for quite a while, and can’t turn it back in, so drat, I have to stay home. John and I find ourselves saying about every other day that this isn’t a bad place to be quarantined.
So that’s my plan up there. Reading, knitting, maybe a little spinning, and definitely some deck time. We’ve had a really cool and windy summer so far, but this week is supposed to be in the 80’s, so that works for me. If Ena was here she’d likely freeze to death. She lives in Georgia, and it has been getting down into the low 50’s here in the evening.
John’s son (who is a graphic designer) made a “flat Ena” so she could enjoy the vacation virtually. Here are a couple of photos.
She’s already had loads of fun!
That’s the sock in progress. I’m hoping to get more done on that today.
Last but not least, a friend gifted us with a big bowl of Gravenstein apples, so I am making this.
It is still in the oven, but it is starting to smell awfully good. We might just have that for supper tonight! And there will be plenty, since Ena doesn’t eat much!
Ooh I must make some apple crisp soon too.
I am actually almost finished making a pair of socks too.
How is Ena enjoying the book? I just started it – good so far.
Love the socks you are knitting!
I have been enjoying Ena’s adventures on Facebook. She seems to be having a blast. 🙂
Splendid. It’s all so splendid.
