The orioles are still here – sorry about the soft-focus photo (no, it’s not your eyes!), but my camera really doesn’t like shooting through a window. At least 4 males seem to have settled in, even staying on the feeders right outside the window when we’re moving around in the kitchen. Amber thinks they’re [...]

A Phield of Phlox
I’m so sorry, but I was just totally unable to resist the alliteration While I was on the phone to Mom this morning, I was also wandering around the yard, and came upon this mass of blue. There was no sign of it a couple of days ago! A long [...]

Spring is definitely springing
… in fact a few times, it’s felt more like summer! We’d had 1 male rose-breasted grosbeak hanging around the seed feeder and yesterday there were 2, and also a hummer on the feeder. There are more neat things popping up in the garden all the time, especially over in the hosta bed. In addition [...]

More flowers and plants coming up every day.
The variety of birds we have around [...]

1 sock down …

I was afraid the weather would zap the hyacinth last night, but apart from a couple of [...]

The most popular seat in the house …
seems to be my computer chair. Look who I found when I came in to use the computer the other day
This time, it was Amber, but Maggie likes it too. Amber has also been supervising my work by inspecting the current box of projects waiting to be edited. You can see why I [...]

It’s all her fault!
Nora has been having a KAL, and the photos of the lace goodies were more than I could resist. The Malabrigo Lace has been whispering, and they ganged up on me, resulting in this:
After several worsted weight projects in a row on size 6 (4mm) needles, my fingers are finding it a bit of [...]
