Time Change Week

By -
 So fun to see a bloom in the yard.  These super tiny Irises make me smile.  
 I'm feeling the time change in the best of ways.
I actually went to the library after dinner. 
I walked up.
It was still light out.
Most of the winter I'm tucked in and cannot bear to go out at night.
 I Found this chart book .  Someday I'll check it  out!
I also found a toy book with that adorable Koala bear.
Someday I may check that out too.
For now you know I'm all about the socks. 
Happy St. Patricks Day!

I had every intention of knitting some of these squares, last week.
I didn't.
But I love the way they look.

I do love those squares! I felt the same as you - I didn't want to do anything once it got dark out! I'm feeling so much more energetic these days.

The squares are a great idea! I can think of lots of ways to use them.

I struggle with the time changes and just feel out of sorts for a couple weeks--even this time-forward change. I do, however, enjoy having enough light to do things after work like gardening.

Those little squares are so cute. I've been struggling with the time change all week. I love the extra light in the evenings, but we have had a grey, dreary week here -- lots of fog in the mornings and misty evenings. All of that just makes me feel sleepy. And now, snow in our forecast is showing for Sunday and Monday.

Those little squares are adorable. They would make a perfect baby blanket.

I have that book! I think it could actually help me work with charts - I haven't spent much time reading it.

I love Iris, especially Bearded Iris.

I love those little squares. No iris blooms here yet, but plenty of yellow daffodils.

Cute squares. I love it when the time changes in the spring. That extra hour in the evening is delicious.

It is nice to have the extra daylight hours. It means I can drive later in the day. I can't see worth beans in the dark anymore.

The extra daylight hours are so nice, aren't they. Love sitting on the porch in the evenings. That's just where I was the last couple evenings. I'm actually knitting some of those little squares as we speak. LOL

We're loving the evening light, too, but boy am I feeling the change for some reason. Cute projects, but I can see why the socks win out. Happy Knitting!

 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...
