Rob bravely removed our collection of wasps' nests last night so I spent part of my morning happily puttering around in the garden. Beets and spinach and Swiss chard were thinned. Weeds were pulled, berries picked and I finally got around to building some trellises for my peas to climb up.

I should be gardening right now. I should be out in the yard with Rob moving around large quantities of soil. I should be helping to prep a spot to put rhubarb this fall.

... but we need the wheelbarrow to move soil around and it's in the shed.

... and when I opened the shed and got my gloves out we discovered two beautiful papery wasps nests on the inside of the doors.

They ignored me when I got my gloves and I was not stung when I carefully closed the doors again after we realized that neither of us possessed the necessary mental powers to will the wheelbarrow out of the shed but I don't think I'll be opening the doors again until we're ready to remove the nests.

Even a few wasps buzzing around your head is a lot.

Two weeks in one post. Lots of animals in these pictures. I hope everyone had a nice weekend. We've been rather lazy and fully enjoying it.

I knit a stingray!

If I fold it up properly it looks a bit more like a baby jacket.
