Loving March This Year

By -


Welcome Spring is putting it mildly eh? 
How about, Oh my gosh Spring?  We are so excited to see you! 
We thought you'd never get here. 
Did you get lost on the way?
Are you hungry?
Can I fix something for you. ...
DONT LEAVE! 
Enough snow has melted that our snow drops are visible. 
They are my first garden sign of the end of winter. 

Fireman says, and he is right, that we will get more snowfall this March, but it will be short lived. 

Fireman rode his new bike today for the first ride of 2015. 
We Neutered puppies this morning at the shelter.
It is puppy season and it is kitten season. 

We get really goofy in Chicago for 50 degees and sunshine.

I feel the need to knit with a spring color....
something say...green?

Spring is showing signs here, too, but I agree with Fireman that we will receive at least two more snows before Spring decides to stay.

I guess our spring headed up to see you. Yesterday it was 90 degrees here. Today 87.

Summer is upon us.

What kind of bike did Fireman get? I'm still making do with my Raleigh C40, but I've been sorely tempted by the bikes at our local shop. I ride with a bunch of folks on Wednesdays. We start out from the local bike shop.....perfect timing for browsing the bikes.

Yay for green! We had our last snow here on March 26th last year. That's very unusual but I do recall a white Easter once upon a time,

Glad your weather is improving - you've had way more than your share of cold and now!!
I'm glad I'm not the only one who has startitis! So are your newly cast-on socks going to be green to go with the season?

Oh yes, a wonderful grass green yarn is what we all need. It was 80 here today--a big change over the 30 we had last week with the snow. I did tell DH though that I believe we will have more cold weather around Easter, so I agree with Fireman. Anyway, Spring is almost here!

You echo my thoughts perfectly. Suddenly, spring is here, and the cold winter temps have left us! Yahoo! The snow is melting and spring flowers are thinking about emerging.

I can only imagine it must be such a thrill to see the pops of green coming through the earth in Spring. No snow here.

 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...
