It's about Time!

Yep - it's about time I posted again - don't ya think? Life seems to have settled into a routine and there hasn't been much inspiration for blog content.

Munchkin went with Mama and Dadad to visit Grandma Linda last weekend. It appears that they had a great time. Grandma Linda lives right on the shore of Lake Ontario and has a beach in her back yard. Munchkin got together with little cousin Reese and went exploring in the sand. I think he liked it!

Mama thought maybe he got just a tad spoiled while he was there, since he was kinda cranky and cross Sunday night and most of the day on Monday. Happily she reported that last night was a good night and today he seemed to be his normal happy little self again.


Poppa has Great-Grandma Grace's eavestroughs all fixed up now. He put new fascia on the front of the house since the ice and snow had messed up the fasciae that were there. Then he went around to the back of the house and fixed up the eavestrough there, using some of the undamaged pieces from the front. It is looking quite spiffy and much better than it did when we arrived home from Florida!

I finished a new pair of socks for Kev-Inn and then realized that I didn't take a picture of them before I gave them to him. I'll try and see if I can get him to snap a photo or at least wear them to work, so I can get a picture. I used Bernat Sox yarn in shades of brown, beige and green. It didn't look terribly attractive in the skein, but I really liked it when it was knitted up.

Then, being somewhat tired of the sock factory, I decided it was time to work on something different. I opened the door to the yarn closet and found a baby afghan I had started over a year ago, and had never finished. So, I decided it was time to finish it. I considered taking it apart and doing something different, but Poppa said he thought it was really nice, so I decided to continue. Feel free to communicate your opinion to me.

And - as a closing inspiration for you - here is an amazing daffodil that grew from an unknown source in Auntie Colleen's beautiful garden! She is guessing that the squirrels or the birds knew just where to drop this one, in a special place where it would be appreciated and well-cared for. Isn't it beautiful?
