It’s 65°, cloudy and damp. We’ve had a couple of light showers, a little thunder earlier this morning, but nothing much at the moment. We’ve got storms and high winds forecast for this evening and into the night. Not fit weather for man nor beast. Good day to stay in and get some things doneContinue reading “Dreary March Day”

Spring Is Almost Here
March 20 is the first day of Spring and things are greening up around here. Now that the last pine tree is down the iris get more sunlight. I still need to divide those plants and I’d like to move some of them to the other side of the house in a new flower bed.Continue reading “Spring Is Almost Here”
Productive Day
I started the next colorway on the cowl and our electricians came out today and located the problem with the breaker box in the garage. It’s nothing that can’t be fixed fairly easily, basically connecting it to the main breaker box on the side of the house the way it should have been done whenContinue reading “Productive Day”
Hello March!
It’s an overcast day with a light drizzle now and then. I had the front door open for a bit but the humidity convinced me to close the house and turn on the A/C. It’s been in the 60’s today and storms are headed our way either late tonight or early in the morning soContinue reading “Hello March!”
UFO’s vs. WIP’s
These are UFO’s aka UnFinished Objects/Projects. I haven’t worked on these on a regular basis in a year or longer. I have a summer throw blanket for the youngest grandson…who is now two years old and probably won’t need it now; a ten stitch blanket in DK weight yarn; a ten stitch blanket in purpleContinue reading “UFO’s vs. WIP’s”
It’s Spring In February, Sort Of
It’s in the mid 70’s today and was near 80° earlier this afternoon. It’s just after 5 pm and we’ve had the house open enjoying the fresh air. It’s cloudy, but still a nice day. I’ve spent the afternoon working on Brad’s socks and puttering around on the laptop, enjoying what’s going on with TwitterContinue reading “It’s Spring In February, Sort Of”
A Day Of Rest
The weekend is rapidly coming to a close and I’ve enjoyed the rest and relaxation. I didn’t even do any knitting today after finishing the Hitchhiker Shawl yesterday. I don’t usually do selfies…but I wanted a photo of the shawl so… I used my cell phone and the auto click button that came with theContinue reading “A Day Of Rest”
Lazy, Cold Day
It’s in the low 40’s today but feels more like the mid 30’s, damp and overcast. Brad is in his Man Cave, I heard him on the pistol range a little while ago. I’ve got my knitting to work on and Midsomer Murders streaming on Roku. He made us each an afternoon cup of coffeeContinue reading “Lazy, Cold Day”
Good Day To Spin
I’ve been spinning on and off this afternoon and went from 2.5 ounces to 3.0 ounces before taking a break… …and stopped at 5 pm with 3.5 ounces on the bobbin. This leaves me with half an ounce to finish this bobbin, put it beside the first bobbin on my lazy kate and start plyingContinue reading “Good Day To Spin”
Keeping Busy
I’ve got my winding station set up to wind off two skeins of yarn. Brad needs new socks and it takes more than one skein of fingering yarn for his size 13 feet so I am doing contrasting toes, heels and cuffs. I’ll use the lighter yarn on the swift for the main color andContinue reading “Keeping Busy”
