Oh how she's grown!

My Pixie is tiny for her age, but she sure has grown since she was a baby!
I knit this little dress for her when she was 9 months old.
 
It now makes a lovely top.

 
It's nice when a knit has longevity. :)

Garden!

The garden is doing really well! I think the raised beds were exactly what we needed to do for our poorly draining soil. I made two of them, and John bought a scoop of this compost mix to put in them. It's done the job well, even with this extreme heat that we've had. And this spot gets full sun for most of the day, too.
 
Bed 1 has the Sun Sweet tomatoes and the cucumbers. I've even ripped some of the cucumbers out. They're insane!

 
Bed 2 has the Cherokee Purple tomatoes and the green beans.
I'm still waiting for ripe tomatoes. I've been eating cucumbers since last week. The beans are still teeny.

Yes, the yard needs mowing. That's a job for John or Rowan!
