Today’s harvest, a bowl of fresh eggs and a basket of chard for our dinner.IMG_20140528_102504

The beautiful Merino roving became this lovely 125 yards of Navajo plied yarn.  I can’t decide whether to make a scarf out of it or put it up for sale.  It has been soaked is currently drying.  It seemed appropriate to Navajo ply it as the book that I am currently reading is

Navajo Autumn, R. Allen Chappell

Navajo Autumn

The morning was humid, but not too hot, so some more of the breezeway flower bed was weeded and more mulch applied.  A few more mornings and that task will be complete.  The afternoon turned stormy, thunder, lightening and heavy rain showers, so the garden is getting a good soaking, but no work in it.

      Sure. They are delicious eggs. How about a chard quiche? Thanks for stopping by.

    Your chards are gorgeous! We are yet to grow successful ones… (haven’t figured that one out yet) and oh that yarn! Learning to spin yarn is on my bucket list. Your pictures make my heart sing. Complete joy in simple things. Now that is the secret of life!

      Thank you for your visit today and your kind comments. I can grow chard, kale and cabbage. I can’t grow spinach or lettuce and root veggies like radishes and turnips always get little white worms, so I quit trying. Grow what works and love what grows.

        I haven’t been able to grow very successful leafies either. This year, we tried again and very little grew. Something about our soil I’m sure. We actually have unused hanging baskets and boxes and I’m gonna try to plant a second batch of random leafies in them this week-end. Maybe out of the highly acidic soil, they’ll have a better chance.

        Good night! 🙂

    Beautiful photos and reflection, Fran. I especially liked the one of the chard and eggs – so appealing! Blessings!
