Daffodils

 

I cannot get enough of the daffodils this spring season. They are beautiful and cheerful especially during a rainy day. Yesterday was dreary and drippy but the pops of yellow in the backyard were delightful to behold. In the mornings I'm confused on what to wear! Is it winter like or spring like. I change outfits because I'm too cold or too hot. 

How are you?

My dad is close to being transferred to a rehab facility, he is more than ready to get out of the hospital and so are we. Maybe it will happen today? I'm not sure how fast the process is but it's going to happen sooner than later. Thank you for the prayers and well wishes, we appreciate them immensely!

My week has been visiting him on most days and doing some intermittent knitting when I have some down time. I'm ready for the weekend.

    Echoing the well wishes for your Dad. May be be transferred speedily and easily! I love looking out and seeing the daffodils and now (as of yesterday) our forsythia in the front yard is showing color. Like you, I seem to change my clothes multiple times in a day!

    I love daffodils too. I was worried about ours because as soon as they started to bloom, out temps dropped back down into the teens at night. Thankfully that cold snap only lasted a few days and the daffodils look even stronger for it. They are blooming like crazy now. I'm so glad to hear your dad is doing better. I know you will all breathe a sigh of relief when he's out of the hospital. You all remain in my thoughts.

    Daffodils are the most delightful Spring flower. I continue to send prayers for your Dad's recovery.

    I love Daffodils and all spring flowers, but with all of our snow and cold temperatures, we don't have any flowers out in bloom here yet. I hope your dad will soon be in rehab and will continue his healing and recovery. Have a good weekend. :-)

My weekend happily contained: -wearing the above woolens all at the same time without being hot -so many walks and taking in the changing leaves. -a leaf shower on Saturday-the wind swirled the leaves off the trees up in the air to float down -changing screen savers to autumn themes! -a craft fair where my husband and I say "we could make that", but we don't. -french fries at the craft fair -scrambled eggs and toast for dinner because we were lazy. -football season has descended in my house. he was in the front room watching whatever is on today -I sat in the family room and watched A Tree Grows in Brooklyn .   Now I want to read it again. -Oh! I finished the socks!! So I wound up about six skeins of yarn and have three projects ready -started a cowl for me in fall colors (I hope to finish before fall ends) -enjoying Spirits of Joy .  Hannah graciously had a one day free sign up for her birthday at the end of September which I luckily saw on Twitter.  Than

  Good morning to you! How are you? I'm excited about my hat that I've been knitting enjoying the sea of stockinette stitches. When I first started the hat I thought it would be too small, now I wonder if it will be too big. Gah. I will find out soon I guess. I wish the photo about showed how beautiful the colors are in real life, you'll have to trust me on this! Below is my next knitting project, the habitation throw . I will definitely use the pink and gray, I'm still not sure about that purple, I might have a look-see in my stash and do another ponder about that color. I chose this pattern because I can use up some of my stash and I adore Helen Stewart's patterns. What are you working on this week? Also: I will probably not be posting this Friday and the following Monday because of my family visiting. I hope to be back next Wednesday (unless I change my mind).
