It’s hard to have a bad day when I start my day off with my “Happy Good Morning” cup. I have NOT finished my lace stole, but am soooo close. I am so excited and ready for Spring. I have resisted the urge to plant too much since I’m not quite sure what’s already planted. We moved in before Thanksgiving so my whole yard will be full of surprises… the previous owners were pretty good gardeners. I will, however, toss out some cosmo seeds next to the pines. DH helped me build some window boxes yesterday…can’t wait to put them up and fill them.

I have no idea what I planted. After moving into our new home in November I hastily tossed out some wildflower seeds, but can’t for the life of me rememember what I planted (or how to spell remember). My peach trees have begun to blossom and these mystery seedlings are sprouting up where I sprinkled them.
I’ve been working on my lace stole, but have been distracted by a couple washcloths and “Lopi Lace Scarf” from Weekend Knitting. I’m knitting it with Cascade Pastaza…50% Llama / 50% Wool. I’m considering getting some chickens, but I’m afraid of birds. I am seriously considering a worm composter since my dog Callie will most likely view a traditional compost heap as a buffet.
Surf’s up
Well last week was my birthday and I had to travel to Wisconsin to do a press check. I returned home underslept, haggard and a year older. Upon my return home I’d planned to paint my kitchen, as evident by the 6 paint swatches on my wall. Yes, I needed to see what all 6 colors looked like in morning, daylight, twighlight and dusk (i think they may be the same thing). As a birthday surprise my DH hired a friend to paint the whole enchilada for me. It was a fabulous thing to come home to. Who’s spirits wouldn’t be lifted by an aqua marine kitchen? Well, I’m sure there are some. Big deal is…I love it and DH is soooo lucky he chose the right one. My kitchen table is my new favorite place to knit and now it’s even better.
Well , it’s only a couple weeks into the new year and I’ve already made good on my resolution to post more, knit more and hang with my girlfriends more.
