the last day of judo camp. It's too bad it wasn't better attended - it didn't help that students in Calgary were already back in school this week, and there was an earlier, bigger camp in Saskatchewan just a few weeks earlier. The kids did learn a lot, though it would have been nicer to have a bigger turnout. More disconcerting, however, was Sensei's absence, still in a wheelchair after fracturing his hip. His absence was noticeable. Saturday, August 29.

decadence, 240/365
I've had this dodgy relationship with dairy for a while and so have avoided ice cream for nearly six years now. After realizing that I can eat yogurt no problem, it dawned on me that duh! frozen yogurt is fair game! Even better on top of warm white chocolate chip cookies and topped with hot fudge sauce. Triple happiness! Friday, August 28.

sunburned out, 238/365
it's at this point in the summer when I am actually tired of being outside in the sun, but I feel compelled to do it anyway. I feel ungrateful about this - it's been a relatively cool summer, and the lawns are unnaturally green for this time of year. Maybe it's more of a psychological thing - I am so used to hiding in my basement during the last few scorching weeks of August, I'm craving the downtime. Still, the evenings are beautiful, and Sami needed a walk, so we went out to the coulees anyway. Thursday, August 27
Baby brown eyes, 238/365
It's been awhile since I've taken a picture of the boy and his dog. Wednesday, August 26.

too bad I don't actually like beans, because they're coming on like gangbusters in our garden. Tuesday August 25.

I admit I got carried away with the processing here. If the day was so busy I didn't have time to *take* a decent shot, then why do I have time to spend processing it as a salvage operation?
Wrapt, 236/365
There's a candy shop in Nanton, on the highway to Calgary, that has things I've never seen anywhere else. These ginger chews are strange and addicting. Monday, August 24.
Embossed in green, 235/365
Embossed leaves socks are apparently in the top 5 of most knitted socks on Ravelry, and now that I've started a pair, I can see why. I know I keep saying that lace and socks just don't make sense (if it's cold enough to wear socks, it's cold enough that you don't want holes in them) but I love knitting lace, and when I finally wound up the skein of Malabrigo Sock I got from my SIL Julie, I really wanted to do something special with it. Sunday, August 23.
