Curiously Intertwined

Sunday, May 24, 2026

This is one of the two fruit boards my DIL and I collaborated on

for our Memorial Day and Indy 500 family gathering.

They were a big hit.

We went to our first farmer's market of the season

and were still there when the vendors

started breaking their booths down.

We went out late in search of specific things.

The above items were not found,

but we did find the stores quite free of crowds.

I feel like these socks are coming along like

The Little Engine That Could.

I'm done with the heel flaps

and these adorable little pink heel turns on both socks.

Now I am going to be chugging away

at the gusset decreases for a while,

but I know if I keep chugging, I'll get there.

I'll let you know when I get to the straight foot section.

If you weren't sure,

the picture yesterday shows magnetic water balloons.

We're having a family gathering on Sunday.

I'm hoping the weather is nice so we can use these.

Do you know what they are?

I've been seeing a lot of peonies in bloom lately.

I finally got a chance to get a photo of one.

It has been raining a lot here lately

and the extra weight of the water on these large blooms

always drags them down.

I don't have any in my yard,

but always love to see them out and about.

We had thunderstorms today so I took the opportunity

to listen to a book

and work on my mending project.
