Christmas In July....

It's warm outside but I'm sitting here in my cool little cave making gifts for Christmas, like this One Skein Crochet Scarf...
 

 
It's an easy peasy design – and easy doesn't mean boring. The scarf works up quickly because of the lovely stitch pattern...



This particular scarf is being donated to a women's shelter. I'm hoping it will cheer someone with its bright colour and warmth....


Meanwhile, daisies are growing everywhere in the parks...


Most of the poppies have wilted now but they were so beautiful in their prime...


This old house is set for demolition, so K took lots of photos of the garden, including these stairs with Christmas lights still attached...



Even in the summer's heat, the squirrels do not stop eating...
 


It's time now for a long summer's nap, so I'll wish you a peaceful week and hope to see you soon, dear reader.


Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass under trees on a summer’s day, listening to the murmur of the water, or watching the clouds float across the sky, is by no means a waste of time.”
