We're gearing up for a vacation to Switzerland and Norway. Bea wants to bring the new drone along and decided she needed to sew a custom little bag for it.

I helped her figure it out and it was not easy! But she has worked really hard and look, it turned out great. Here's link to a video Bea and Brian made the first time they used the drone.

Little bouquets from my garden are all I need.

The strawberries that grow around the house are so cute. They're not good for eating just a sweet ground cover that the bees and bunnies also enjoy.

Brian's company offered free tickets to Six Flags again so we made a quick trip.

I've started a new knitting project – a cotton short sleeve sweater. Seems like the beginning of a project is often the hardest part. The most complicated shaping happens at the top of the sweater. But I am super proud that I now know how to turn this:

Often when I go in the morning there is carillonneur (just learned that word) playing. It's so pleasant – sometimes I get up close on the hill behind the carillon. The person sits in a little glass box under the bells to play and today I noticed he used his bare feet and his hands to control all the bells.
