He bought me flowers, and we commenced taking pictures of them. Maybe the long Winter has us starved for color. I’m just happy to have a picture* of something other than Wes.
Carnation. Taken with my phone, using an Olloclip 15X macroGerbera Daisy. Taken with my phone. No special lens, and the 10X and 15X Olloclip. Pretty red!!I needed a vase, and he went into the garage (Memories Central) and came back in with this beautiful pitcher. It was my Grandmother’s.Sneaked some pix of him taking pix
Happy Spring!
*Sometimes I’ll use InstaGram pictures. I’ll notate it in my Categories but 9 times out of 10, I’ll have posted it there before here. Exciting intel. That’s my forté.
This is the magical Starbucks mug. The one that allows me to get a free drink, every day in January.
So far, I’ve been knitting a sweater that has only gotten smaller. I started it and finished the body in November. I spent weeks trying to get the first sleeve to cooperate and then I finally frogged the whole thing.
How innocent, right? Crazy Zauberball (blue/green) and Madeline Tosh Merino Light
Progress, of sorts.How hard could a German Short-Row, Top-down sleeve be?Ripping is tougher than it looks
Now I have restarted the Funky Grandpa sweater, confident that it will be done by June.
Don’t mock me.
We’ve had some C O L D days. Yes, it’s Winter but we’ve never had it so cold that our heating unit couldn’t keep up. It never got above 63 degrees, inside (57 in the bedroom). We learned to adapt.
Hats. Inside! And Wes slept on the heated waterbed.
The snow wasn’t without it’s beautiful parts.
Snow – shoveled to the side of the driveway, and then blown back with the high winds.
This was beautiful until the town plowed our driveway in and I promptly got stuck on the “hump”, while trying to drive out. My car was halfway in the street for 40 minutes, as I tried to dig myself out…get into car and rock it back and forth…lather, rinse, repeat. A town worker drove by (lucky me) right before a friend of Tom’s came to help free me.
Winter Wonderland
And when the temperature went from -5 degrees to the low 40’s along with rain, it was transformed again.
