Spring Holidays

By -

 We found the tiniest ham in Wisconsin.  Just Fireman and I for Easter so asparagus. Shredded potatoes, and the teeny ham for dinner.   We are very concerned about Covid despite double vaccinated and 2 boosters.  I am afraid people are just weary of masking and distancing and the numbers will soar again.   I don't know when we will relax a bit. I can hope for warmer weather soon and we wi!l feel safe being outdoors.   


I got a text from the local wildlife rescue. They needed a volunteer to pick up baitfish for the heron  and other birds that are back and getting injured.  It is a simple job and the fish hatchery and the wildlife sanctuary appreciate  it..

I miss the barn but I may have other roles at the sanctuary. I cannot go back to the barn for many reasons.  I am frightened to be around horses now.


I will have lots of time to knit this cold weekend.  I linked back Many rows but am back on track again. This time I look at each row after its finished to be sure I haven't made any mistakes.  I need to finish by early May.


How are you celebrating Easter Passover or other Spring holidays.  ?   I wish you joy and family be they near or far!

Having a quiet Easter weekend. I didn’t travel to Denver to stay with my sister. The weather is cold and dreary, so I’ll be staying inside and listening to audiobooks. Wishing you and Fireman a blessed holiday.

Happy Easter. A quiet Easter for us too. Dave's grandma is in the hospital again and COVID is running rampant around here. I've got a roast to pop in the slow cooker tomorrow, and some sticky toffee pudding for dessert!

We are having a very similar supper to yours. Steve bought a ham slice to either grill (if it is nice out) or do in the oven. We'll have au gratin potatoes and roasted asparagus. I haven't
decided what to do about bread .......maybe muffins. Maybe not.

Hope you and fireman have a wonderful Easter.

No plans for us this year either. The only thing I am looking forward to is watching Easter Parade at 8 on TCM.

Quiet, quiet Easter here. Since Dale died, and the children aged out of egg hunts, we've not done anything particularly special. I've been watching sports most of the day.

Rick and I went to the lakehouse and were joined by just Jared and Sam (and Zydrunas). I made finger foods and bought a cake and pie at the bakery. It was terribly cold and windy, so we all just stayed in and enjoyed the view and each other's company. Very low key.

I feel worn out by this slow start to Spring--all the up and down weather and persistence of wintry temperatures. It's hard to hang in there. We are getting snow again today and tomorrow. I'm so over it.

Every Once in a While I Might Post

 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 have been knitting, but not making things.  6. MY gardens are growing.  I have 3 main areas I

  These are the one square bunnies .  They are a free pattern on Rave1ry.  I'm bunny making to force spring to come.  I'm a1so taking it easy on my hands again.  The med we tried did keep my hands from shaking, but it was a med for a med. and that's crazy town.  I can contro1 a hook much better than need1es.  It wi11 have to suffice for now.  I'm enjoying your b1ogs and your Spring.  This time of year I so want to 1ive in a southern state.  But this Spring is a new one for me and I'm going to find a way to 1ove it.   IT may have just gotten to 50.   Degrees.  I have to run.  There's very ear1y yardwork to do.   The birds have 1eft a rotten mess of sunf1ower she11s under the feeders.  I hope it is not frozen!  Have you been switching things up in your neck of the woods?   I haven't forgotten you, b1og pa1s.  I 1ove seeing you on Instagram .

Do You Smile When You Knit???

I am pretty sure I smile when I knit.  I'm going to think about that today when I pick up the baby blanket in progress.  I am also pretty sure I cry when I knit; well, not really.  I have shed some tears over the years but they were way back.  I surely scowl when I drop a stitch.   A time lapse of knitters' faces would be interesting enough .... Tank, aka Helo, is starting to smile around here.  Just look into those aqua eyes......they make me smile all the time. He is half Siamese and all gorgeous.
