My Labor Day weekend got off to an excellent start - Friday afternoon I headed outside for our not-so-regular BBQ out by the pond with the "cool" kids of NSI. I had intended to bake brownies for the occasion, but that never really happened. But I did enjoy some excellent hamburgers and cookies. After such a lazy, laid-back afternoon, it was realllly hard to get back into the work mode, but I managed to make it through the rest of the day. :)

I was so excited by the excellent weather that evening that I set up a little nest with towels and a pillow on the swing outside my apartment and knitted until it got too dark. I finished my first scarf! And I taught myself how to purl and bind-off from my little how-to book. Woohoo!

On Sunday Adam and I headed over to our new house to do a final walk through. The place wasn't as clean as we would have liked, and still smells strongly of cooking oil and mothballs, but we documented everything pretty well with my digital camera. Our landlords left us with about 8 large tubs overflowing with mature tomato plants, and it looks like we'll still get quite a good harvest out of them! That was an unexpected bonus. I also took detailed measurements of the rooms and have started making scaled floor plans in Illustrator. I'm quite proud of them!
