beautiful things

It is very windy!

Trellis by the fishing inlet

Hubby is off kayak fishing and I am relaxing by the water. One good thing about my already expanding belly - it provides a handy shelf for my cable needle!

Vacation!!!

What you can't tell from the photo is how windy it is! It is very windy!

More questions of the "week"...

Well, I guess the questions are weekly even if the answers are not!

Question of the week #5: 1) Where is your favorite place to go for vacation/holiday? 2) Where is one place you’d like to go?

I love going any place that is on the water, with a view of the water.  I particularly like beach vacations although lakes are good too.  Of course a tropical climate is also nice!  Some great beach vacations my husband and I have been on - St. Thomas, Montauk (where we got married), Dominican Republic (our honeymoon),  Florida Keys.

Where is one place I'd like to go?  Well, it's pretty hard to name just one place... but how about Bora Bora?

Question of the week #6: What is your favorite type of project to take along on holiday/vacation? If you’d like to share a story…Tell us about a time that you packed too much knitting or were stranded without knitting.  

Having only been knitting for under 2 years, I can't say I have a lot of experience knitting on vacation or that I have a favorite type of project to take along.  I pretty much take whatever I'm working on as long as it isn't too big.  Taking photos of your knitting when you're somewhere other than home is a lot of fun though...

 

Question of the week #7: What is(are) your favorite place(s) to knit? and What supplies (besides yarn & needles) make the setting perfect for knitting?

Well, I think you can see from above some of my favorite places to knit - by the water while on vacation!  Closer to home, I also enjoy going to Prospect Park, laying out a blanket, listening to podcasts or audiobooks and knitting.

Oh the lake...

Look at the beautiful fluffy clouds!

Off goes hubby...

It's going to be a scorcher...

See those chairs? That's my knitting spot!

Last lunch...

Well, we are heading for the airport, and an eventual 50 degree drop in temp... sob!!! I am so sad. We did stop off at a stunning lunch spot though - Morada Bay Beach Cafe in Islamorada. Behold the view from our table. The food was good too.

Bye Keys, we miss you already.
