June
I can't believe it is June already. Not a lot going on here. I have been doing a lot of reading lately and a little knitting. I will try to post some knitting here soon.

Here's another close up shot. This one also has what are called Evening Primrose here. I don't know if that's the proper name for these pink flowers or not. They are everywhere this time of year, too.
When everyone else is at work, Oscar is my shadow. Wherever I am, Oscar is there, too. We have beds in strategic places about the house, but if Oscar can't find a bed, he just plops down anyway, even on the tile floor. When I'm working on the computer, this is what I usually see.
The photo is a little dark as I took it without using the flash. That's my constant companion at rest. Oscar will stay there as long as I'm there, too.
This yarn is Dream in Color Smooshy. I had never knit with this yarn before, but I really like it. It has a good tight twist and feels great after it is blocked. I knit these socks on US 1 (2.25mm) in my plain basic pattern. The colorway is called Petal Shower.
This great guy is called Wildman, racing name C YA Wildfire. He is three years old and BIG. He is very tall, even for a greyhound. He weighs about 82 pounds. He is very friendly and loves attention as you can see from the photo. He has wonderful manners other than trying to hug everyone who walks in the door. We are thinking about changing his name, but have not come up with a name that everyone likes.
I have also been knitting a swatch of the new alpaca yarn I posted about last time, but those photos did not turn out well, and they were boring. I have a couple of pairs of socks on the needles, too, but have been enjoying the mindlessness of the scarf right now. I will get back to the socks later.
