or has it? saturday was heavenly - blue skies, sunshine and semi-warm weather (60's)! perfect, perfect, perfect! what a wonderful day to spend in the garden, which is precisely what i did. how refreshing to get down and dirty! perennials are starting to poke through the soil and buds and leaves are starting to take shape on shrubs - ahh, the renewal of life!
that glorious day was followed by a deluge of rain all day sunday - so much for easter egg hunts and steppin' out in easter finery!
after a day of rain, we were rewarded once again with pleasant but a tad nippy days on monday and tuesday. much raking, hauling and clipping was accomplished preparing the garden for its spring and summer show.
on the knitting front, i've decided to abandon wool yarn for the time being (it is spring after all) and head into some summer knitting with cotton yarn. i dug into my stash and pulled out some periwinkle cascade luna yarn for a simple top. i did the gauge thing and as usual, started knitting with a smaller size needle. after almost completing the back (just several rows shy), i've decided that i need to use an even a smaller needle! so... i'll be joining the frogs in the garden with some time spent froggin' the past two days efforts - oh, well, it was a learning experience!
