One hour left before bed. Knit or blog, knit or blog….I pick knit! Goodnight everyone!
Month: April 2011 (page 3 of 4)
Everyday Emmet and I do a check on all the flowers to see how ready they are to bloom. Here’s what is going on in the front yard…..Daffodils!
And does anyone know what these are?
The leaves have slightly pink edges and tips. Are these leaves going to give me some flowers at some point? And what are those blue flowers? They’re EVERYWHERE.
Emmet has as much fun watching everything grow as I do. He swears to me the daffodils smell beautiful, although I didn’t smell much of anything when I got that close.
See those red shoots? Those are my peonies coming. They’ve been one of my favorite flowers ever since I can remember. My gram used to grow them along the side of her house and she’d take me outside and we’d cut them together and shake the ants off and bring them in to put on her kitchen table. We never got all the ants off.
We can actually see green grass in the backyard and Emmet is patiently waiting for the robins to lay eggs in their nest in his playset like they do every year.
And springtime brings something else with it….bugs! What little boy doesn’t love bugs? They’re like tiny monsters. Emmet has a newly rekindled love for his Insect book, and insisted on bringing it to bed with him last night. This is how I found him later on, sound asleep. (And on the scariest page, in my opinion. That would give me nightmares.)
A random picture of my bookshelf. Looking at it makes me happy. Goodnight everyone.
Fun! Do you see the sparkles?
My sister spoils me. She has a yarn addiction, and when she’s not buying yarn for herself, she’s buying yarn for me. These fun socks are made from one of the Berroco skeins she bought for me last year. I now have more yarn than I can knit into things and she’s still going, starting me a collection of yarn for next year for my Christmas present. She makes me pick out a pattern for each month, and then buys all the yarn I’ll need for that pattern. I’ll tell you what, it’s very motivating. I have to knit like the wind now to clear out as much of my stash as I can, making room for the incoming.
I am so spoiled. And excited.
