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!

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 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...
