Weekends

 


Hello! How are you all doing? Life around here has been the same. My dad is still in ICU and we wake up each day hoping that he will be in a regular room. Living with uncertainty is the new normal. However isn't life just uncertainty to different degrees? My dad is better than he was last week and I celebrate that nugget!

I have been LOVING watching an early spring emerge. Gosh it's beautiful and therapeutic. I walk around and soak up the sun while taking some photos. 

Down in our woods, I spotted this clump of crocuses doing their blooming thing so unassuming and beautiful.  Frodo continues to improve after he tweaked his back, but I do believe his walking for 30-40 minutes at a time are on hold for the time being, maybe forever. We enjoy our 15 minute walks and he comes home so happy to be out and about. Then I go back out for a longer walk.

Yesterday I started a sweater for myself (notes forthcoming). I was in the mood for something new on the needles, just for me and especially with my new normal of going down to visit my dad in the hospital. 

How was your weekend?

  5. Your new project reminds me of a sweater my Mom knit for me when I was in high school. Just a crew neck with cables, but the tan yarn was so very, very soft. I loved that sweater (and my Mom). And look at your photo with blue, blue sky - that is balm for the soul as are the crocus blooms. Hoping and praying your Dad heals and comes out of ICU soon. And dear, sweet Frodo. Hoping he is ok - glad he is enjoying shorter walks.

  6. So good to hear that your dad is slowly improving. I too love to spot those signs of spring, my crocuses are so close to flowering. The snowdrops are still dazzling us with their lovely displays here.

  10. I hope your dad continues to improve and can get out of ICU soon. It's also good that Frodo is on the mend and enjoying shorter walks with you. I love the picture of those beautiful spring flowers. They give my winter-weary heart hope for the coming spring. I hope you have a good week, and make good progress on your new sweater! See you again soon!
