We have had a nice summer so far, so this post is a catching up on what we have been doing. First of all, Louise wants to catch everyone up on the sweater knitting. She just finished # 8 of the 12 for the year, so we will share pictures of the last few. We left off back in the winter with sweater #3. The next one is a sweater for Jon and Erin's expected baby.
Number 5 is also a baby sweater, knit for a friend from Florida who is having a granddaughter:
Next is another one Louise made for herself, an orange kimono:
Number 7 is a new sweater for the new granddaughter who is due soon:
Finally Louise finished a sweater that has been in her closet for years waiting for a little sewing:
That's a lot of knitting done. There are two more sweaters on the needles at the moment, and more planned to meet the challenge of knitting 12 in a year.
We have spent much of the past two weeks at Portage enjoying the quiet life at the camp and some great summer weather, without bugs! One interesting thing of note is that Gary found the sailboat again that he painted a couple of years ago. It is directly across the lake from the camp.
We also enjoyed the loons. There seem to be more of them this summer and we have one good picture of one.
Gary has been doing much work on a rock wall, but we have no pictures of it yet. We did gather a few pictures of the canola and potato fields in Mapleton on one of our trips back. Also a picture of Beaver Brook when we traveled that way.
This is a canola field with Haystack in the background.
Potatoes in blossom. It is a very pretty time of year in Aroostook County.
Here is Beaver Brook from the bridge.
We are getting ready for another art display at the August Festival and are busy working with the museum. We still have not found a new rental place in Florida for the winter. We never expected that "our" house would be put up for sale.
