Easter, Socks, & Grandpuppies!

Since Easter, which was a strange day by the way, I have been a total bum! I have been doing only the things I enjoy doing... which is pretty much the perfect way to spend an Easter break! Today I told myself, "Self, you better get busy and get some things done around here!" My self didn't listen too well. However, the break has not been without it's accomplishments... see the following....

Ed made a magnificent rack of Lamb for dinner on Easter Sunday!

Our Easter table looked awesome!


I have been making socks! Check these spiffy ones out!!!!




These greyish/purple ones are my first pair of socks... they are made of Merino wool... very soft and cozy. I love the color!






These are the ones I am currently making... with this very cool yarn that makes the stripes as you go! I think they are quite cool!




Bailey Jameson, our grandpuppy, is staying at our house while his parents are off playing in Hawaii. He's a good dog... and he likes watching me knit socks!

Happy Easter!!

Okay.... time to start with a confession.... I totally stole this photo from my daughter Kate's blog! That being done... aren't my grandsons the cutest little guys you've ever seen???!!!??? I couldn't be with them this Easter, so I decided to post a photo of them on my site instead! Gabriel called me at 8am this morning to wish his Papa and I a "Happy Easter" and to tell us all about his basket full of goodies that apparently was hiding under a coffee table! He had the task of finding Asher's basket too this year which made the job twice as much fun, I'm sure.

We went to breakfast at church and then to the 9:30 service. The orchestra and choir were absolutely fantastic and brought tears to my eyes several times during the service. We came home, opened all the windows and set the table for Easter dinner which will be a rack of Lamb, asparagus tips, roasted potatoes, green beans almondine, waldorf salad, and a lemon chiffon cake. (don't worry, I'll take a picture!) It's presently 82 cozy degrees outside and headed for the near 90's... so we've jumped from spring right to summer without much gap between!

Happy Easter to all of you who read this... He is Risen Indeed!

Everywhere you look... Beautiful!

I am hopelessly wrapped up in spring fever! Everything is bursting into bloom and it's a wonderful time of the year. Just wanted to share some of the pretty things around my home and yard. This is such a beautiful season. I am counting the days till Spring/Easter Break when I can actually just sit back and ENJOY it! The smell under this apple tree is heavenly!
