RAIN...RAIN..GO AWAY!

 The rain is really coming down, but just a few days ago, this pair of geese came up on my shore to munch on some creeping jenny. They spotted me and off they went.

                         
The Spice  - fluffy batts, gone before, I could list them for sale. But....

Spicy Apple is now available at http://www.giffordables.etsy.com/

Fluffy batts of Masham, corrie, llama, kid mohair, alpaca, and angelina.

Off to batten down the hatches!  It's really coming down, and it's hailing!

See you - all soon!

SUNNY

Finally stopped raining! The Blue Heron is on the look out for more fish.

Hope everyone has a great weekend!

HAPPY EASTER!

This little chick is bringing Easter Greeting's, your way!

Hope everyone has a great holiday!

SPRING TIME AT THE LAKE

 Signs of spring are finally here. This Blue heron loves to fish right off our dock. Really unusual to see him strutting across the shoreline. Maybe he thought the early morning fog was a good cover.

A pair of Canadian geese take a leisurely swim, now that the ice is off the lake.

Plenty to do this time of year. Uncovering the perennial beds, raking, and picking up tree branches from the ice storm that hit us a few months back.

Feels good to get out, work in the yard, and sniff the cool breeze coming off the lake.

Have a good weekend!

 Hope everyone finds alittle time to spend outdoors in the spring air. 

WHAT HAPPENED TO SPRING?

           Winter has returned, and the boys have the right idea. Snuggle in for a long winter's nap.

It was a good day to soak up the ray's through the window, and spin.

The week just flew by !

Have a good weekend everyone!

IS IT SPRING YET?

First flowers of Spring!

 I found these lovely crocus blooming when I was working out in the yard today. I think it was the unseasonably warm weather that brought them out. This Sunday is officially the First day of Spring!

Happy Friday everyone, hope you all have a great weekend! 

LUCKY SHAMROCK

Only a few more days til St Patrick's Day. I knitted up this sparkly little shamrock pin for the

 March Mystery Challenge.

Took just a wee bit of sparkly handspun to create the Shamrock  pin.

I decided to use some of my kettle dyed merino, wool top, tussah silk, and of course some sparkly gold and kelly green angelina.

Ready for clue 3 today! So far a really fun, easy knit.

 Is it a hat? Mmmmmm...  could it be a cowl?

Hope everyone takes a little time to enjoy the day!
