It's been a long time

I have tons of completed knitting pictures, yet not on this computer. My new phone is supposed to be able to blog from it. But it has a crapa** camera. So I am going to try to get those up and ready for viewing. Currently swatching yarn for the textured circle shrug by Stephanie Japel. My guage is slightly off. So I need to change needle sizes.
This year I have been bit by the gardening bug. Out on my balcony I have lettuce, tomato, cucumber, and other assorted plants growing. This past Sunday we were able to eat some lettuce from the garden. I would have had spinach also, but the cat ate a whole crop. Does anyone else's cat eat their vegetables? So I turned my back and went did some thing else. My husband decided he wanted more lettuce which was fine, but instead of picking a little here and there. He gave one plant a buzz cut. Poor plant.
