Full to Overflowing #1: Remember this field that sits next to our building? (The one that famously fills up with floodwater about once every five years and makes us all panic?) Right now it’s full of Queen Anne’s Lace flowers. So pretty. WH took a wander through there and used some of his famous photo skills to capture their beauty up close.  I don’t remember seeing this many flowers in there in past summers. It is definitely full to overflowing with pretty white lace. (And probably full to overflowing with bees as well. I didn’t feel a need to investigate that part at all.) Since I have not taken even one hour to add flowers to any part of my yard or front porch (that is sad, isn’t it?), it’s nice to be able to enjoy this scenery at work.

Full to Overflowing #2: Things here at The Loopy Ewe. We had so many things come in this past week, that tonight’s Update was extra fun! Hop on over to see:

So did you get a long weekend this past weekend? And did you do anything fun? Did you make progress on your knitting and crocheting? I washed and blocked my Mini Challenge Sweater, and then turned Surf, Mocha and Coffee into something I love. I’ll share photos soon. Next, it’s time to wind up Malachite and Whisper Blue for Norwegian Rose socks.
