Life hacks for food storage. Caution: I have not tried any of these. I do know that washing fresh blueberries or strawberries in a mild vinegar solution keeps them from molding for at least a week.
I went through all my photos and selected 30 to use here.
The challenge is for you to identify where the photo was taken, the occasion, and/or the people pictured. Some of these pictures have appeared on the blog, some have not. More points will be awarded the more correct information you provide. Points will be awarded purely on my judgement, and the decision of the judge is final. (I may arbitrarily award extra points if you make me laugh.)
You may post your answers in the comments if you want, or you may email them to me at kmkienholz@gmail.com. (And be sure to label your answer with the number of the picture you are referring to.) Whoever gets the highest score will win their choice of the yarny items pictured at the end. Deadline is midnight CDT on Saturday, June 10, and the winner (and answers) will be announced on Monday, June 12. Have fun!

And now, the prizes!
First is a kit to knit Stephen West’s Spectra and includes the two yarns pictured (Noro Silk Garden Sock on the left, Universal Uni Merino on the right) plus the pattern.
This is an example of Spectra I found on Ravelry. Yours will of course be different colors.
Instead of good news of the world, I shall show you good news of how I spent part of Memorial Day afternoon.
It was a beautiful day. One that a Twin Cities TV station would label a Top Ten Weather Day.
So I took myself, my knitting, and my audiobook out onto the deck for the first “knitting on the deck” day. As you can see, my hat binge has not let go yet.
But I was not alone on the deck. Oh, no, I had friends to keep me company.
Not sure why Milady chose to lie in the sun. She is the dog that lies happily for hours on the snow and ice in winter.
Misha is always happy, even when squinting into the sun,
And of course, Percy the pit bull. While the other two lay at the far end of the deck, he stayed close to me. It’s what pit bulls do. If you have a pittie, personal space is a thing of the past. Plus he is always cold, so lying in the sun was a natural for him.
I was not the only one enjoying the beautiful day.
