Purple Jalapeno!

There has been a heavy amount of trying to keep plants alive around here.  As with so many places this summer, it has been decidedly warmer than usual.  Which means being laughed at by others when I get over-excited by produce appearing when so many blossoms have burnt to crisps under unforgiving sun.
The purple jalapenos have been particularly pretty to watch as the blooms are a gorgeous violet color, with the fruit appearing almost black at first glance.
There are the container watermelons, not staying contained:

Some very wee tomatoes of a couple different types:

As well as cucumbers (there are lemon cucumbers in there as well now):

There hasn't been much new yarn, though I did take pictures of the Rose Anguish colorway skein:

There was also a goodie parcel from Eat.Sleep.Knit.for reaching the Float Falls level in this year's yarnathon.  The base of the yarn is Blue Moon Fiber Arts, Targhee Worsted (which I adore!) in the colorway, Molasses Swamp Monster:

I may have bought (and already knit a sweater vest out of) a skein of that same yarn base in the colorway Ish Kabibble, (whilst coveting several more colorways. Metaphysical Angst and Galactic Broccoli anyone?).  At some point I will remember to take pictures.  I keep forgetting that I finished something, surrounded by the endless hills of unfinished projects as I am.
Honestly, there has been too much cleaning and chore doing and not enough sleeping in my life lately, so my artsy endeavors suffer from lack of focus.  Knitting half a row on six different projects does not make for much progress on anything.
It will get better I'm sure.  Cooler weather will come, bringing the need for socks and sweaters and Halloween decorations...maybe I will sleep then.
