Labor Day Holiday

Today is a public holiday , and what else would you do but make a big pot of Minestrone Soup!

I actually can think of other nice things to do, but the weather is starting to cool down, and it seemed like a good idea to me to chop lots of veges, and create a hearty soup, that will last a few days, and what's more, I can take some to work for my lunch. The best Minestrone Soup I've ever eaten was from a little Italian restaurant in Launceston  Tasmania. It had teeny tiny pasta through it, giving it a nice texture. I have since found a similar pasta  at my local deli, and so of course it has been added to my version.

Just look at that clear blue sky!



Meanwhile, I am crocheting like there is no tomorrow. I'm trying to finish a baby shawl for my grandson who is due in a weeks time. I've got 4 more rows of plain crochet to do, and then 7 rows of a lacy kind of border  to finish it off.  I had better get back to it. What if he decides to arrive early? Yikes!
