this past week we have gotten rain almost every day. we need it, though. yesterday and today we had gorgeous sunny weather, though, which we all enjoyed. 

earlier this week i figured out how to make a granny square. it is great for using up little bits of yarn! and it's really simple once you get the hang of it. that's saying a lot since my crochet skills are pretty much nonexistant. i have to reteach myself how to crochet every time i pull it out.

last night the lighting was stunning. i so enjoyed wandering around my yard snapping photographs left and right.
