Ahh

Bright sunny sky.

And grass turning green.
Spring!

Some progress

This will short and sweet. I've got nothing here folks. It's a dull life for me!

I'm about 2" from starting the ribbing on my Basic Chic Hoodie. I don't like doing K2P2...too much switching yarn back and forth (I'm a thrower...it's how my mom taught me!) but it's a necessary evil.

It would be nice to wear this yet this spring but I surely hope the weather is better than that by the time I get this done! With both sleeves, the hood, picking up stitches for button band and then finding the right buttons it's going to be quite some time before it's done. sigh. Next fall I'll have a new sweater to wear though!

Alrighty everyone...short and sweet it is. Have a good day! :D

Wishing everyone a...

Do you remember

THIS?

Well, now it looks like this. Ah, so much better. It's almost melted! Yay!

Always wear your seatbelt.

Late Saturday we got a phone call from 2nd DS. A late night call always makes me a little nervous but our kids know we stay up late so I wasn't overly concerned. And I had just texted his wife, 2nd DDIL, about a 1/2 hour earlier.

But...they had been in an accident. Hit a patch of ice, rolled the pickup once and landed on a guard rail. And after that they walked away. Banged up yes, but no need for an ambulance. They were wearing their seatbelts.

Their dog, Aida, was in the backseat and was thrown out of the vehicle. She left claw marks on the roofliner of the cab as she was going out the window. She survived. She's walking on 3 legs right now but doesn't seem to be in any pain. She's a trooper.

I hate to think what could have happened with no seatbelts or if things had gone just slightly differently.

Everyone, please wear your seatbelts. They might not be the total answer but they are what we have so please make use of them...

And today we have....

No. Not sunshine. Not rain. Not fog. But you guessed it......Snow! Hey! Mother Nature! It's April 15th for pete's sake! Give us a break!

Look what I found!

While I was out taking down the Christmas decorations that had been just freed from being frozen to the ground and buried under a big snowbank all winter I found these..... Daylilies! Dear, brave daylilies! They are quite yellow from the cold and wet but Lookie! Something trying to grow and trying to be green! Yay! Even the grass isn't doing that yet.
