I was going to call this post "Naked Gardening." My almost-three-year-old "helped" me do some planting this morning and, since I froze my ass off last night at my other son's baseball game, in 50-degree wind and drizzle, I got us both up in fleece and boots and headed out...to find that it was probably 80 degrees in the sun. Chucked the fleece right away, and after an hour or so, the kid stripped off everything else. I shot a few pics of him with (garden) hose in hand, but later, while trying to erase one, I accidentally hit "erase all." Oh well. I probably don't want to post anything that could get me accused of purveying internet porn, anyway--no matter how innocent the flash of bare buttocks might be.
So. I'm not sure why this photo is so gray--I'm mystified as to why the camera sometimes sees things so differently than the human eye--but I didn't think it worth Photoshopping for the hue, when the detail is really what I'm interested in. After the nice comments on my last post, I got inspired to sew one of the raglan seams just for the heluvit, and gosh, I think it looks pretty cool. And when I held it up to myself (calling the main piece the front, for the moment)--well, it will take a bit of maneuvering to get a photo, seeing as there's no back and no other sleeve, but...this one could be a showstopper.
Wow. Showstopper is right! I keep clicking on the enlargement just to look at it one more time. All those straight rows meeting with the waves - dang.
