Procrastinate, of course! I was out working in the garden (while bread was being made in the breadmaker) until I was too hot to stand it any longer. I figured this was a good time to work on the blog, and wait for the bread to finish rising, thereby putting off going back outside. It's not nice to go from mid-60s, cool and (too) rainy to mid- to upper-80s without a chance to acclimate. Not fun, either.
So here's my slow knitting progress of late.
I finished the back of the Boston cardigan, and started one of the fronts. It now waits while I play with other things.
I finished one of dad's socks!
The other one has now been cast on (twice) and stands ready for knitting-while-waiting.
I've also been playing around with making goat cheeses! I've made two batches of chevre so far, and it has come out wonderfully! Right now I'm incubating a batch of fromage blanc - a cream cheese type product. That won't be ready until late tonight or tomorrow morning.
We've managed a couple of trips and a few long bike rides in between weeks-long bouts of constant rain. I still have only half my garden in, though... I'm trying to get that done, but now we have severe thunderstorm alerts for this afternoon. I'd better go out and get hay while I can!
I'm lovin' that purple and the sock, too!

There is a goat cheese ice cream in The Perfect Scoop by David Lebovitz. I have been wanting to make it but I have to get over the 6 egg yolks used to make the custard style base. It sounds so very rich.
