Graced with a Green Hat

By -

and so it arrived in the mail...on a snow day where the Snow maker gave us just enough to brighten the Feburary look about our town

I opened this flattish manilla envelope...tsking Grace, she just shouldnt have,
tsk, tsk, tsk,
no matter what was in the envelope....

and then I unwrapped the tissue with her green words hinting .....a little something for you...
and there it was
a green cabled hat.
So soft ....and so green

i now know I cannot hate March ever again.
i put it on my head and it
like the magic hat of a snowman before me,
made me do a happy dance.
I know it wont be coming off my head all day,
the old house is chilly even with the goodenss of radiant heat.
and I will
oh i will glance at myself in the mirror, more than once, and I will smile a silly
wonderful smile
given me this day

What a thoughtful gift ~ so glad your UPS driver is alive and well and could bring you this lovely package :) Roll on St. Patrick's Day!

BTW I love pepitas in granola and practically live off my homemade granola as I think it's a very healthy snack.

 Is that vague enough for you?  It has been a too busy complicated Spring.  I had no energy to blog.  All is well now, so I can share some things with you:   1. When I shoot photos of the moon I think of Dear Teresa.  Gone too soon. She took fabulous moon pictures.  2. I did not see one shooting star last night.  I only got up for a few moments around 3 a.m.  The local weather guy said he saw a few quick faint ones.   3. How can I can have one grown child in Oklahoma under flood watch, and One Child in Mexico under hurricane watch?  On the same day.  Tis true.  4. What have I knitted lately?  I am pretty sure I've ripped more than I've knit.  I ripped out a shawl that I was making up.  It was cotton and pretty.  I need to follow a pattern.  5. I was trying to make socks and decided to make mittens instead.  I haven't worked a thumb in a long time.  I may have to frog it too.  So I ha...

Dear buddy nurse and spay neuter pal Linda, came to visit yesterday.  We knitted. We laughed.  We shared books we are reading. She Showed me her scarf.  It looks like a shawl but it is a scarf. Here is her yarn choice. And the( OUCH) price.   It makes her happy to knit.  If Linda's happy I'm happy.  I dont' know the pattern and neither does she.  Her dog literally shredded her pattern.  She was at a point where she had memorized the easy part and she's nearly finished.  So there you go, anyone know the pattern? You are all so sweet about the move and the house. This morning I got my cuppa joe and headed to the porch to write you.  In the distance, my nearest neighbor, whom I can see through some trees.... well one of their teens came out, stretched, peed on their lawn casually, and then laid in his hammock for 5 minutes.  I'm sure he's not the first boy to do this.  I'm not even sure he's the...
