We both have several cucumber plants and one thing I enjoy about cucumber plants is the way they reach out and grab onto things as they grow. <br /><br /><a href="http://s6.photobucket.com/albums/y245/mstory/?action=view&current=d3b55b06.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y245/mstory/d3b55b06.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br />I don't know how well you can see it in this first picture, but it has reached over and wrapped itself around a hot pepper. I guess cucumbers like to spice things up once in a while.

My neighbor has though. My hot peppers are quite prolific and I noticed one this morning was blushing at having her picture taken so early in the morning. <br /><a href="http://s6.photobucket.com/albums/y245/mstory/?action=view&current=ed6cd456.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y245/mstory/ed6cd456.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br />In knitting news, I am nearly finished with my scarf project. It is turning out nicely and I can't wait to block it. It is from my Weekend Knitting book by Melanie Falick, it is the lopi lace scarf. And the yarn I am using is Caron, the colorway is Bone. It is so smooshy soft. <br /><a href="http://s6.photobucket.com/albums/y245/mstory/?action=view&current=559484c2.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y245/mstory/559484c2.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br />I haven't done any spinning yet this weekend, and I need to do some of that as well. I am in the middle of spinning up some coopworth and I have visions of loveliness in my head for that. I need to get it done because I have some silk and cotton I want to ply as well. <br /><br />So much yarn so little time....Millyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04887088681552553617noreply@blogger.com
