Socks, part 2

So I thought I would take another picture of these socks I am doing for Ezra. I mean, it is another knitting project, but TBH, it would look like a smaller version of the socks photo I took of my own, including where I am on the project. I was in the car tonight waiting for DH to make his way out so we could go home. I had gotten there about an hour too early because Ez fell asleep in the can, as I suspected he would. Anyway, I pulled out my knitting, turned on the radio and knitted to All Things Considered and Marketplace just mindlessly SS-ing away in the round when I looked down and was shocked to discover that I had finished several inches of knitting! So I stopped short and set it aside since I hadn't brought the other socks with me to check the length to see if they were even. I was sure I was going to have to rip out several rows. But luck was on my side and I stopped at exactly the right spot, so I can continue on with my decreasing and tomorrow I will have a toe on this sock and will be able to move on to the heel as I wait in the DMV to renew my driver's license.

In produce news today, our CSA basket picked back up after their brief winter break. And apparently strawberry season has arrived because I bought 2 of the most beautiful packages of strawberries there today as well.



Absolutely amazing! Red all the way through and as a friend said, "Wow! These taste as though they are stuffed with sugar." Ah Camerosa strawberries. One of the benefits to spending $1100 on a tiny 1BR apartment for a family of 3. Actually, should we ever leave this state, the fresh produce is the thing I will miss most after the friends I've made.

The rest of the day was spent at the park hanging out with our friends in this extremely unseasonably warm weather. Yesterday it was 80F and today it was 75. So we played in the sand, on the swings and the slides and Ez with his Razor Scooter until he was so tired he was ready to fall over. Did I mention he decided that 4am was a reasonable time to wake up this morning? Yawn.
