Pumpkin Sunrise

I am still reading Water for Elephants.   I am find it interesting especially since my son really enjoyed the book.  We frequently have similar tastes in novels.  I was doubting the similarity when I first started reading and then last night the plot thickened! So I must say it is too soon to give an opinion, I need to finish the book!  On my needles is my cardigan  which I just blogged about here . The progress is slow and I am getting a little impatient to have it finished. I am also working on a scarf but will post about it tomorrow if I do not rip it out first.  I am feeling quite wishy washy about whether I want to continue knitting. Today I have a lot of errands to run.  They should not take me long to do.  All of the regular tennis matches are finished.  Now it is just practices the next two weeks for district play offs.  May is such a busy month with tennis, prom, and end of the year banquets at the school.  It always flies by!

I just could not resist a picture of Frodo with his new hair cut (can't tell because of the big old mustache and beard he sports).  In this picture he was being nosy.

On Saturday, daughter and I went to a local craft fair in town.  They block off the main street and vendors display their items for sale.  There are also lots of non profit groups with kiddie games and information.  Of course there are food vendors selling everything that is not healthy in a diet......but it sure does smell so good!  I forgot to take pictures while browsing the vendors.  I did managed to buy a jar of homemade jam and a bar of homemade soap.  The first three pictures were from the town.  Can you believe they had donkeys?   The last picture of the dogwood is from my front yard.   This week our daughter moves back home from university and we will have both kids home until mid to late August.  My house will be so much more messy and disorganized.  However, August will be the very first time both kids are off to college and we will only have Frodo.  I feel like I have almost completed my job as a parent. Are we really ever completely done?  I am looking fo
