Happy Sunday to ya!

Just chillin' out here on the deck.  Can you believe this weather?  It was around 80 here yesterday and supposed to be the same today.  I would love to live where it stayed warm all winter.  I don't care for the cold.

I finished some knitting this week.  Nita asked me to knit a scarf for one of her co-workers for Christmas.  She likes pink.  My instructions were "not hot pink... something soft."  Hope this isn't too soft.  The yarn is Yarn Bee, Andes Alpaca I'll never use it again because it sheds worse than the cat.  I hope she likes it.  This picture was taken as I began I really should take a FO picture. 

I finished this scarf for my Secret Pal last night.  It's the least I can do for her after all the fantastic things she's been giving me this semester.

I'd forgotten to show you the scarf I worked on and finished while in Sedona.  This is the one I toted all over town and knitted on every time we stopped somewhere.  I'm giving it to MY Secret Pal.  It's not her favorite color, but I didn't have any yellow yarn and hoped this Angora blend would be nice. It's a mobius scarf and will probably go around her neck 3-4 times.

Now that I'm done with those I can get back to work on the Aran Hoodie. I also have a couple of things I want to rip out and re-fashion.  Christmas Break is going to be pretty busy.  I think my niece wants me to knit something for her too.

I was able to visit with Michael and Di this past week.  They were in town for Di's re-con surgery!  She's doing great and isn't listing to port anymore. 

They brought some lemons from Nita's.  Her tree was overloaded this year so she was giving them away right and left.  I think Michael carried 200 or so back to the ranch and then brought a box and a reusable grocery bag (1/2 full) to me.  I gave the box to a co-worker, the 1/2 bag was plenty.

Yesterday I began processing them for the freezer.  I zest them...

Then I bagged and froze the zest....

Ready to juice....

Juice frozen in ice cube trays.

The house smelled lemony fresh! Just a little less than a cup to keep in the fridge.  Look at all that pulp!  3 ice cube trays holds 4 cups.  I think I juiced 2 dozen lemons of various sizes and froze about a dozen whole (I didn't zest them.) I kept a few to give to Dawn and a few that still had a little green on the skins to ripen.  I probably ended up with 5 dozen lemons!   I bet there were close to that many more in the box that I gave away.

I feel like a Prepper.  That reminds me, I need to make more laundry detergent.

Y'all have a great week!
