Sunday. A Typical Day of Rest. Snowy 15 May 2016.

Snow on the Woodpile

Today we woke to light snowfall and cold wind. Quite a change from the 75 degrees reached on Wednesday.

Luckily, the earth has warmed up enough that the flakes quickly turn to water once they stop moving.

Still -- quite a change in temperature in only a few days. I wonder if rapidly fluctuating temperatures is because of Global Warming (it's real, folks) and if we still have enough time to change those repercussions. (That's as deep as my thinking is gonna get today. lol)

After getting the grocery shopping done by 9:30 a.m., I have decided to follow the rabbit and take a break from social media for the remainder of the day.

Y'all enjoy the day wherever you are.

Finally Friday. If At First You Don't Succeed...

As discussed in last Friday's post, backwards knitting took care of the error I had made. If you look close you'll see that there's another error with the pattern, so this week I'll be knitting backwards again to make it right or tearing it all the way back and trying again.

The pattern size chosen was 3 months, but this sweater is making up much, much larger. Based on current measurements this sweater is going turn out to be a size 2 or 3. HUGE in my little world of 3, 6, 9 and 12 month sizes.

For now this project has been put on hold while I decide whether to knit backwards or rip back all the way and start again. Perhaps I'll modify the pattern so it is the proper size.

Am doing my best to count my blessings - like my tape measure advises.

This weekend is the 50th Maple Festival celebration in my home town. Maple syrup and candy here I come!

Y'all have a great weekend. Remember to count your blessings!

Sunday. A typical day of rest.

We've had gray, rainy days since last Wednesday. Which is good because we need to raise the water table a bit. Most folks don't care too much for the rain and I can understand their viewpoint (I feel the same way about snow).

I usually enjoy the rain. Listening to the pitter-patter of raindrops on the roof has a rather calming effect. As children, sister and I would run outside in our cute little rubber raincoats and hats and our brightly patterned knee-high boots to splash in the driveway puddles.

Today Bandit and I were caught in a mild sprinkle on the way home from the morning constitutional. Pretty day anyway. As you can see, the apple trees have "budded out".

Today I'll be working on finding the knitting error I made about two rows back on the knitted baby sweater. Backward knitting, if you can imagine that.

Hope y'all can get out and enjoy your day.

Bless someone else today with a smile or kind word. You'll be glad you did!
