I think he should go into the swift business, don't you??
I'm sorry I don't have an action shot, I must admit I swifted/wound all my hanks into balls this weekend. You know how it is with a brand new toy.
Hubby says he is happy because it means a reduction in swearing around the apartment by 45%.
Also - tonight I plotted my herb garden. And by garden I mean container garden, since all I have is my porch which is approximately 4X5 ft.
I'm planting Rosemary, mint, basil, cilantro and dill. All of my favorites. Come on over this summer and I'll make you a pot of mint tea. And an omelet or (if I learn how) quiche! Or herb Roasted Chicken! The possibilities are endless, really. And I know I won't keep all these plants, but isn't half the fun giving away little seedlings?
So here are my little babies:
And while I know seeds are small (duh) I didn't expect mint seeds to be so itty bitty!!
Here is a dime illustrating the tiny-ness of my seeds. The biggest seed, to the upper left is Cilantro, then right below the "n" in "One" is the Rosemary seed. The seed underneath the "m" of "dime" the basil seed and to the right of the word "America" is the dill seed. The if you look all the way to the right... all by itself... that blurry little thing is the mint seed. So tiny!!
Well that is all that is new here. Tomorrow rain. Luckily the seeds are happily inside.

You are one lucky daughter. :)
That is beautiful!
My son and I planted some herbs and veggies this weekend. We did containers too, to start, so that he could watch them grow inside (rather than the tiny things getting lost in the weedy mess of a garden). Now I just hope that my black thumb can make them grow!
