Pumpkin Sunrise

  Hello! How are you? I'm doing good.  My weekend was mainly uneventful overall. Can you believe next weekend is Easter already? Lent has flown by this year for me. I attended Saturday night Mass with my sister at a different church and I cannot pass by a beautiful Mary statue without photoing it. Of course I edited out all the cars in the background so the photo is kind of crazy but She is beautiful to behold. Since the weekend was uneventful, I worked on my knitting projects equally. Also I started walking outside once more. Only up and down my street a few times, staying close to home. I love being out in nature and hearing the birds sing. Some of my daffodils got zapped by that unexpected snowfall we had a while ago and some have miraculously survived and are showing off. April, which is just around the corner, is one of my favorite spring months. Not too hot but abundant in blossoms. How was your weekend? 

  Good morning!  I am happy to report I started the first sleeve of my yoke sweater a few days ago! I am so excited that I'm on the sleeves because they go so fast. That is assuming I am knitting every single day, ha ha ha. I think the fit will be perfect but I know I will do something of the curling neckline that I do not like at all. My gauge must have been loose when starting the sweater then it must of tightened up. What are you working on this week?

  Good morning to you! Spring has definitely sprung here. We had unusually warm weather yesterday and thankfully today will be back to regular cool weather. I don't like the hot weather but I do like the sunshine and the flowers blooming. My second session of adult learning classes started up last week, so I am busy driving to and from campus attending lectures and making new friends. Of course I continue to take Tai Chi, it's my favorite class. I don't like to cook, which is no surprise to you readers who have been here awhile. But I do like to make salads. I made the best one ever a few days ago that had lettuce, spinach, kale, parsley, red pepper, cucumber, mozzarella cheese and pepitas. Of course the shrimp too. It was delicious. I like to use a tiny bit of oil and vinegar as my dressing. I could eat salad for dinner every single day. I also did some knitting and reading over the weekend. And most importantly I started to do tiny sketches in hopes to rekindling my love ...

  Good morning! How are you doing today? It will not come as a surprise to know that I did minimal knitting this past week. We had our daughter in law and grandkids sleeping over since Sunday to help out while my son was traveling to work. Today will be my first evening free!! I did manage to add some rows to my hat  in between playing with the kids. I am nearly half way with knitting the body of the hat.  What have you been working on this week?

  Good morning! How are you? I'm doing okay. I have an early morning appointment with the ENT today. The week I do not have a doctor's appointment will be a miracle! However, I am grateful I like all of my doctors who help me out. This weekend was crazy weather! This tree that fell over into our neighbor's yard and knocked out their power is NOT our tree but is close to the property line and it did NOT knock our power out, thank God. On Friday evening our lights flickered so many times during a horrific wind storm. My husband and I ran around the house, filling water bottles (I like cold water) and charging our phones and flashlights. We were lucky and our electricity stayed on! My sister's did not and she lives very close to me. Yesterday after Mass, my daughter in law and the two grands came to stay at our house for a few days while my son is traveling for work. Party! The grands love having a sleep over here and we love helping out whenever we can. I knit very minima...

  Good morning! How are you doing today? I have been making steady progress with the body of my yoke sweater . I'm a few inches away from the ribbing. I work on this while watching TV. Overall I am very pleased with the sweater and the design but I do not like the neckline. Once it's finished and I put it on, I will do something about the neckline to make it lay flat, most likely picking up stitches and doing a twisted rib for a few rows.  What are you working on this week?
