Landscaping by Tonka

Remember this? Well, the project has progressed through piles of dirt

and heavy equipment parts strewn up and down the boulevard, like the cast-off sandbox toys of a bored toddler,

and moved on to more impressive toys.

  REALLY impressive toys. Really impressive holes, too.

In fact, this is the prettiest part of the street, right now.

None of this is to say that I'm not happy. We have been waiting for this reconstruction for nearly twenty years, and the fellas on the crew are always cheerful and polite, and accommododate those of us living here, as much as possible.

Yes, it's noisy. Rattle-y, too. The house vibrates on a regular basis. And, occasionally, I have to step around very large holes in the sidewalk. I try to get away from the house as much as possible, through the day. And when I can't get out, I knit.

I knitted this. 198 Yards of Heaven (Ravelry link) designed by Christy Verity.

Ain't it bee-you-tee-full? This was a really entertaining little bit of lace knitting. Quick, too. It took me a little over 2 days to finish.

Scarf down. Hat and mittens to go. I may have matching accessories for this winter, yet.
