It's Here - Finally





Spring has finally come to the garden.  The lilacs are just about open.  Whoo Hoo!  And today it rains.  Now this is water the plants love, so bring it on today I say.  Perhaps Mother Earth has decided she is over her hissy fit?

And you'll note, we have found a way around the glitch that was preventing me uploading images onto the blog but we had to be sneaky about it.  And...it took much fiddling by my son the computer geek to identify the problem and figure out how to make things happen once more.  Apparently it has something to do with Mozilla's latest updates.  These things are definitely sent to try me.

So...Would you like to meet Picasso?
Isn't he cute?  He is Midnight's gentleman friend and they are doing extremely well together, after some initial getting to know each other.  He's still pretty shy, but very clever and certainly knows when the frig door opens the carrots are coming out.

This morning Libby and I put on rain gear and ventured over to the dog park for some serious play time


There is a lovely patch of bright yellow buffalo beans in bloom right in the middle of the field.  Right after I took these shots one of the dogs came over and laid down right in the middle of It.  Buffalo beans are tough though and don't seem to mind a bit of trampling.  A good time was had by all.
A bit of knitting to end off.  This leaf blanket is actually a baby blanket, - knit in Spud and Cloe Outer (thick cotton/wool blend yarn) in the shape of a big leaf in which to enfold baby.  We are having a new baby in our family. 
And that was my week.  I am living a small life these days - creative - but small.
