Mid-March Happenings

I finally got around to downloading some pictures that we've taken over the past couple of weeks. The days are getting longer and warmer. The trampoline is back in service--Yeah! That item has been worth its weight in gold for using up excess energy in 2 little boys. Don't they look angelic dressed up for church?


Basketball, bike riding, and dog walking and NO snow!
A former co-worker gave me his mother's yarn swift. It's a neat antique one that folds up nicely. When one of my other co-workers saw it she said it had to be something to use with yarn production or it was a torture device! It sure makes winding skeins of yarn into balls a lot easier!
This is one of our 'winter roosters' which was supposed to be a winter meal. The roosters did not fill out as quickly as we had hoped so now they are going to be spring/summer meals...

Maybe they heard that they were going to end up on the table, and decided to get a jump on us!

Fashionable Feet

One of the benefits of going to so many doctor appointments is the time to sit and knit without feeling guilty for not doing stuff around the house. Last week's 2nd appointment in Albany resulted in a finished pair of socks...
I had to share this picture of our Yankee soldier with his fashionable lion slippers...(Yes, the hall walls are a project we hope to have done this year!)
