It's Spring, Right?

Well, maybe the calendar says it is! But my backyard sure doesn't think so:


Here's the view from the front window (next to the cat condo). Notice how far up the window the snow is? It's fallen off the roof.


Our schools were on a 2 hour delay; others in the area were closed (reference Math Lady's blog where "Greenland is closed"!).

We have some "outside neighbors" who visit regularly - the turkeys! They like to eat the food that gets dropped on the ground below our birdfeeders. There are 7 of them - here's the gang this morning.


My sock of the month club kit arrived today - yay! It's always like Christmas in April (or May or October) for me. Judy always puts together such wonderful kits. Very imaginative and fun - they definitely get me out of my socks comfort zone. When you open the big envelope (it's always an envelope rolled up so you know it's a sock goodie!), it's wrapped up like this - oh so tantalizing!


And you never know just what it's going to be! This month's offering is just perfect for me - "my" colors and the sock is designed by my favorite sock designer, Adrienne Fong! Does it get better than this? I think not!


I can't WAIT to get started! But first, I need to finish my Monkey sock by my other favorite sock designer, Cookie A. for a critter buddy. Not much so far but such a pretty yarn. It's one of the Dancing colorways by Knitpicks, knitted on a size 1 needle.

It's always interesting to me how the colors pool (make a pattern) even when the yarn itself isn't self-striping or self-patterning.

Off to knit!
