Smokin.....

Not only have I been smokin' on the grill...My needle has been smokin' on this patriotic stitch.

I had planned to do my BBQ yesterday but got carried away in my yard.

Apple wood smoked butt for pulled pork. 

YUM! 

The apple wood smoke has made my mouth water all day. 

I sampled a piece this evening.....it is apple-solutely delicious!!

I am enjoying this chunky stitch. 

I will be making a color change as the drab green called for makes this piece too dark for me. I have some DMC wool in an off white that I think will give me the patriotic finish I am looking for. 

Can't wait to see how it turns out.

We planted the garden today; look at that Rhubarb! 

Ready to cut.

While I was on a walk with the hound I saw our neighbors new totem pole; he carved it himself.

I say neighbors... they live on the lake about a mile down the road from us. 

This is the fork in the road that leads to the family camps on either side. 

Check out their view!

Thanks for stopping by; keep on stitching.

Off to wash this apple smoke out of my hair. ;)
