So far, today has been a day of good reports.
A little background … the weather here has been changeable to say the least. Last week it was warm enough I turned on the air conditioning. It didn’t seem to be real effective though but did cool the house some. Over the weekend a cold front [...]

A fellowship of women

The baby shower this afternoon for which I knitted the Mary Jane baby booties was well attended. My gift was greeted with “How cute!” when it was opened. Someone asked if I had made them and I said yes. I did notice that my gift was very modest compared to the other gifts today. Instead [...]

It’s definitely spring here even though my daffodils aren’t blooming and the forsythia has reluctantly agreed to flower. How do I know it’s spring? I found the first dandelions in the yard today!
Progress thanks to election

I worked as an election judge today. We had what I considered to be a low turnout of voters so I had lots of time to knit. Thanks to the election, I now have four booties knit for the baby shower on Saturday. All of them still need to have their ankle straps crocheted and [...]
