Pegas Dinner

It's been fine enough for a lot of outdoor dining lately, and we were at Pegas last month with the McCabes.  I tried the carpaccio there, and it was excellent.  The arugula went well with the meat, and you can see the beautiful presentation.  we also had the lovely brie and pears, some zeama, and some salads for the first course.  All wonderful as usual.

I had a steak salad for dinner, and Andreas had the rabbit pasta dish.  I do believe rabbit alfredo has become one of his favorite things.  For dessert, there was creme brulee, cheesecake, and lava cake.  We ended up a bit larger when we went home, but it was worth it!

Creeping Up The Side

I've not been able to stitch as much as I've wanted to lately, and it shows in the small progress I've made on my Dreams Sampler.

Flaking

More white and blue added.  I'm getting closer to the middle.

Columbine And Sage

 Our columbine has been seeding itself all through the garden.  We now have several plants in unusual places.  The dianthus is spreading, and the roses are going crazy, as usual.  It's been wet enough this year that the sage has been blooming, too.  Andreas says it's the first time he's seen sage bloom.  

Blue Corners

All the corners are blue now, and I've got the buildings done on the last side.  It's all green scallops and wall for this last corner.

More Squares

All those little squares waiting to be filled in.

Looking More Complex

I've managed to get more done with the side.  The second building is looking a bit more filled in, but there's still a lot to go.  The bottom side now has a few houses completely backstitched.
