Yesterday was lovely - the 4th day in a row with sun and warmer temperatures.

You can tell it's spring because these are now budding:

I just love pussywillows - that fuzz only lasts a little while, then it bursts into this wispy, polleny stuff and you have to wait another whole year to see what looks and feels like a bunny's tail.

The family was busy at the pond -

They were keeping a close eye on this:

The official launch of Alex's yacht.  It had a lovely tour of the pond, avoiding all the submerged cattails that can clog the rudder. 

Today the weather has turned unfriendly - much cooler (40's), rain, fog and general miserableness.  This is supposed to clear out by Tuesday or Wednesday next week.  And just when we were getting used to the sun.

This does not help my knitting quandry (I need clarity, not fog) - despite having a couple of fair-sized projects on the needles, I am looking for something quick.  Last evening I knit up a couple of squares - indigo wool and a sage green silk.  Maybe they will multiply and become a blanket.  With little league season upon us, I need knitting that allows me to watch Alex play, but still keep me feeling as though I've accomplished something other than be a bench warmer...

Peace & Love,
