Repairs and Maintenance

 Good morning,

It seems we are busier since retirement than we were when working.  It is taking the better part of two days - so far - for maintenance on our heating and air.

Happy homeowners....

Work in Process - Basketweave Hat - Peacock Feather Colors

 Good morning,

I'm working on a basket weave stitch hat in peacock feather colors this week.  It's fun watching the colors change and arrange themselves as I knit.  

I took the image as I had just finished the ribbing and had started the basket weave stitch.

Fun!  I love smaller projects between larger ones.

What are you making, baking, growing this week?

All the best,

Lois 

 

 

 

 

It's Always Something

 Good morning,

It's always something, isn't it....

Yes, a rhetorical question....

We stay home a lot since retirement.  In fact, we stayed home for a full week and when Kjell went out to start the car to go to an appointment, the battery was dead.  Fortunately, I was able to move his appointment a little later in the day so he could make it after charging the battery.

I guess we need to go drive around every few days....

Iris in Bloom

 Good morning,

This lovely Iris greeted me yesterday morning as I looked out my front door. Of course, I had to go outside and get a close-up image to keep and enjoy.

This clump of Iris is at least 30 years old.  In a couple of weeks, we will have lived here for 48 years.  I love seeing the flowers I've planted through the years return to bring us joy year after year.

Happy Spring!

Lily's Qualifying Run

 Good morning,

Look who brought home a blue ribbon yesterday! 

Our baby Lily with her trainer/our daughter Catherine performed a qualifying run at the AKC Trials yesterday!  We are so proud of them both!

Photo credit goes to Catherine. 

Love you,

Mom & Dad

Beautiful Sky

 Good morning,

Some people will see contrails (plane vapor trails) and others will see a cross.

Lovely,

Lois

Honeysuckle in Bloom

 Good morning,

The Honeysuckle is beginning to bloom in our back yard.  

Some people think Honeysuckle is an invasive species, a weed.  I love it!  I remember the sweet smell from my childhood.  

One person's weed is another person's bouquet.

Happy Spring!
