Wow! Thanks to Diana at KnitThisToo for tagging me as a Rockin’ Girl Blogger. It’s a great tag, because you get this fabulous button, and all you have to do is nominate your own Rockin’ Girl Bloggers.

proof that plump, middle-aged, blogging ladies rock!

I tag

  • Knitting Painter Woman because her blog is so literate, often pleasantly opinionated, and sometimes bravely opinionated, in addition to having knitting content.
  • Woolwindings, because she has made so much progress after knitting for such a short time, she knits a lot for preemies, she posts great nature and wildflower pictures, and she always comments on my blog.
  • Gooseflesh. I haven’t visited her blog for long, but my breath was taken away by her sea creatures, which are crocheted from recycled plastic bags. Her blog shows how her designs evolve, with sketches and photos. Click on the flickr box for more photos.
  • I would tag Knitnana, but she was the one who tagged Diana.

Diana knew my daughter would think it was so cool that I got tagged for this. In fact, the other day, she said, “Mom, your blog gets cooler every time I read it.” Thank you, Eva! You’re pretty cool, yourself.

But the rain has its benefits, too! We’ve had the best tomato crop in years. Aren’t they gorgeous?

these cherry tomatoes are sweet as can be
