First Day of Spring

Well, here I sit watching the rain, ice, sleet, hail and snow falling. It seems that Spring is just a word that everyone is wishing would hurry up and come to Maine! We have so much snow on the ground that we will have to watch out for floods in the next month or so. DH is back to work and tonight he has to go back in at 11 and work until 7 on snow removal and plowing. He is sleeping now hoping to get enough of a nap to get him through the night! He just hates working this shift so much he won't get any sleep and will be miserable all night. I loved working this shift when I worked in the mill. I would trade my day shift for this one! DH and DS didn't like it, but I was home during the day with him and his father was home at night. So we didn't have to pay for a baby sitter only a few times.

I have one and one half alpaca sock done. These are taking a long time to knit up. The size of the yarn and the needles takes so much longer to get done. But I have finished the little precious sweater and have given it to Lily. Her mom doesn't want to put it on her cause she might get it dirty. LOL Told her that's what washing machines are for!! tee hee.

A friend of ours was killed on Monday. He was in the parking lot of the Olive Garden in Bangor. A very young woman was racing through the parking lot on her cell phone when she hit and ran over him....he died at the hospital a little bit later. Only 53 and such a quiet and gentle man. He will be missed.

We are going to our sons for Easter on Saturday. We won't be staying over, but will be leaving here early and coming home late. Supposed to be quite cold and windy but hopefully no snow! Can't wait to see Sarah. Got her a big soft purple bunny and some new clothes...summer ones and a pair of sneakers that light up. She will have to grow into them, but that is what I wanted when I got them a size bigger...feet grow so fast at the age anyway.

Well going to go read my book..can't stand to start a book and not read it all quickly..so will read it until it is done. Then going to start on some wool felted slippers for us and for Christmas gifts. Hope to have a few pictures up tomorrow of the snow and the socks. Take care all and....

KNIT ON!!!
