Autumn Bounty

The other week we went out to pick some tomatoes, well I didn't intend to but after trying some of the most delicious tomatoes I have ever eaten, decided to pick even though it was so hot and I didn't have any sun protection! it took me all of 5 min to pick a big bucket.These are I think the Roma variety. Now what to do with them. I have made two lots of semi dried they are so flavorsome.  Gave some away and have still a big bowl to probably make some type of sauce.

It was Joel's 9th birthday on Sat so I stayed overnight to see him open his presents. The next day we went out for lunch at the Club Waimea with the family forgot my camera so took this of us later on. A lovely weekend.
Haven't really got much to report on the knitting front,started Dans socks and I brought a pattern from Tikki on Ravelry using my discount that I received for the KAL last year. She is having another KAL at present called "A walk in the Woods" featuring 2 patterns Granny's Favourite and What Big Eyes You Have these are both lovely patterns and I am waiting on some wool from Utiku Yarns and The Wool Company so I can get cracking "Knitting" and enter!!
I have also applied to Georgie Hallam aka Tikki on Ravelry to purchase a license to knit the Milo pattern, but am thinking I would love to knit more of her designs for sale,  who could stop at one really!!!! I am thinking of doing the Nelson Market this year, see how it goes.
Well it is lovely to see the rain after so long without, the garden is looking green already especially the weeds! I even have some Feijoas on my new bushes, I really didn't expect any this first year, also the lemon tree that we replanted that everyone gave up for dead has lots of blossoms and a few tiny lemons are appearing, lovely I cant wait!    
Have a good week everyone
