Still Here (and happy May)!

Ella.

I think she's looking at birds (or our evil squirrel) in the backyard.



Yes, I'm still here. It's been a weird/hectic last few weeks around the cactus household. Our air conditioner unit broke about a month ago (which was fine, it wasn't too hot), and the guys have been in and out of the house for the past few days (driving Ella crazy). But today the weather people are calling for temps in the low 100's today and I really, really need my air conditioner! They're telling me today (let's hope and pray) it will be done!

Let's see...what else...oh, yeah. Baseball's going strong for the Munchkin. Games three times a week with practices thrown in hither nither, you know the drill if you've been there! And then the LittleOne with softball, again games two times a week with practice. Running, running, running...

And then out here, school is out in, oh, let me count the days on the calendar....in about 11 days (not including the weekend)! Holy Crap! Another school year has come and gone! I'm not ready for the summer yet!

But...I did finish the first sleeve of my whisper(rav link) cardi and I did work, oh, about four rows on my skirt the other(rav link) day! Progress people!

Ode to June

I can't believe June is here already! What happened to May? Summer is here in full force in the desert! The days are starting toasty, but still somewhat cool when the sun goes down. Swimming lessons started today, so at least the kids get a little cooling off! Baseball is still going on, this week the Munchkin's (the oldest) team has the championship game for his division. His team has only lost 3 out of (I think) like 14 games (that's like an 11-3 record). So this past weekend they had the play-off games and won both of them. We'll see how they do on Wednesday! It's supposed to be hot this week, with the temps in the 100's (it's a dry heat, ha!), so I'll "pre-hydrate" him! (They still play in polyester pants! You'd think someone would invent/create a material that could breathe and still repel grass/red dirt stains.) The LittleOne has her last game on Saturday morning, so it'll still be somewhat nice!
Hope all are having a great day/evening/morning!

Later (this week, I hope) I'll have my Razor Cami to show you! (This is a Ravelry link. There's some issue with the pattern instructions, but at least you can get an idea of what I'm doing!)
