Snow in May and other anomalies

It’s snowing again here for the third day. Most of the accumulated snow (less than an inch) has melted off, but I’m SICK of it…it’s the END of April for heavens sake! My lovely lilacs are blooming and they are alternately covered in snow and freezing. UGH! Well, this had better be gone by next weekend or….well, someone will pay (doesn’t it feel good to threaten, even if you have no hope of winning?).

I found this link for juice pouch purses ages ago, but really liked the idea of recycling an they are pretty cute.

Things are calming down today. Matey Moo seems to be feeling better – the worst part is just how hyper he is because he’s still on the steroids. It’s an amazing thing when you take an almost 3 year old and give them something that makes them MORE hyper!

Anyway, here he is running around none the worse for wear:


Hard to believe he just got out of the hospital yesterday, isn’t it? I guess it’s true that kids bounce back – I’ll just be glad to get him off of the hyper drugs! 🙂

As for me, I’ve cleared off my desk, finished a book I started in the hospital and even took a picture of my round robin which I hope to finish today:


Mine is the feather stitching with the yellow and pink flower beads and the pink row of stitching (pedal or pendant chain stitch – it’s a new one I just pulled out of a book) below. I’m also doing that green corner, but so far hate it…I may just pull out what I’ve done so far and start over. Isn’t Leslie’s brazillian embroidery lovely? And I adore the seam with the flower/bead pattern. I think this block is going to be really lovely when it’s done. Round robins are a lot of fun, I’m just not sure I love the deadline pressure.

Ok, off to read a book and enjoy (NOT!) this weather….brrrrrrr!!!!!
