Happy Days!
My little girl turned two this week! Happy birthday Audrey! We celebrated with the family, and she loved her horse cake. (Yes, those are pretzel sticks)
Happy Mother's Day to all you mothers out there! I had a wonderful day with my family. I bought veggie plants and a couple of flowers at Jo's Four Green Fields after church, and Pete worked on my garden all day! No more mint, and the anticipation of the tomato harvest is already upon us!

chocolate and peanut butter
We had a wonderful day here at our cabin in the woods. Our little family bunkered down after church and had a nice cozy day with the fire blazing in the woodstove. All of Audrey's grandparents and her Uncle Alec came to visit. I got some knitting done on the ruffle wrap:
I am almost finished with the main rectangle and ready to start the ruffle edge. It's quick to knit for such a large project. I haven't drowned yet in the sea of stockinette!
I also baked some tasty peanut butter cookies. You can tell they were VERY tasty, since this little guy is the only one left! I doubt he will last 'til morning.
Okay, I ate it already.

warm the hearth
We got a new woodstove last weekend! I documented the process, just like the good little blogger I am.
Pete is setting up stove and chimney placement here. Plumb line courtesy of Cascade 220, thank you very much.
What would he have done without the yarn stash? Unsurprisingly, my help pretty much ended here. I spent the next few hours biting my nails as they cut a hole in the roof.
My husband is very clever in finding many uses for his tractor. When tackling a project like this, it can serve multiple purposes. It can replace a pickup truck and the arms of four strong men:
It can also be used as a very stable ladder. (or a jungle gym)
By the end of the day, we had a cozy corner of the living room where the TV used to be. Now where did I put my knitting?
