Somehow I made it through a quick trip to Kohl's for a new coffee maker and to the food store this morning. This afternoon I was looking out of the patio doors at all the grey, non-color and said for the first time in a long time I'm ready for Spring. I so wanted to see green.

This is quite unlike me even though the coming of Spring signals the near start of another gardening season and gardening is one of my greatest joys. I'm never ready for Winter to be overwith (or for daylight savings time to begin again).

Of course, this could be my weary soul subtly crying "Uncle!" from this hellacious cold & bronchitis. It could be the lack of sleep. It could also be the cold/cough/pain meds & antibiotics!

Regardless, to satisfy my need for earthy tones, I picked up some yarn I bought in Dec. or Jan. on deep clearance at a somewhat nearby yarn shop and began knitting (yes another!) scarf.

The pics aren't the best. (I'll try taking new ones today). The yarn has all manner of natural greens throughout with a bit of cream and various shades of dirt brown. As soon as I saw the yarn, it reminded me of early Spring when green starts popping up all over and things are wet from the thaw and rains.

2nd Annual Practical Magic Blog Party 2011 is Here! *Updated*

It's time for the 2nd Annual Practical Magic Blog Party created & hosted by the wonderful Anna of Frosted Petunias ! My sincerest apologies for getting this up rather late! The adventure that is post Hurricane Irene cleanup & repairs has been taking up too much time recently. (sigh) Things are a mess; I only started decorating for Autumn yesterday and I'm missing Halloween decorations! Luckily my broom is always safe and sound by the front door so at least I don't have to wonder where it is. (Not that it hasn't been known to scamper off now and again - naughty broom). I was afraid, quite honestly, that I wouldn't even get a post up sometime today! I kept hitting dead ends with every other one I tried. But, this morning I sat here at the computer and it flowed. Thankfully! I would have been so disappointed if I'd missed this, it was such fun last year! As some may remember from last years party, while I like the movie, (and love that house!), I love the...

The Time Is Upon Us Once Again!

Welcome Friends! It's time once again for A Fanciful Twist Halloween Party ! Warmest thanks to the lovely Vanessa for hosting again this year. My apologies for not having this up sooner, I've been dreadfully under the weather and my helpers have been more of a hindrance! My lovely kitchen witch Helvetica has given up time off and has been cooking & baking away since last night but the skeletons have been eating everything in sight (damn their bottomless stomachs!) though they won't fess up and the invisible man has been raving on and on every time the door bell rings! I do hope you'll enjoy your visit to Pumpkin Manor and have a Happy Halloween ! I look forward to your return.

11:14pm (3/16/09) Watching a documentary Tennessee is so beautiful Head & nose all stuffy Out of ZyrtekD - sigh Want to read but distracted by my clogged head Hubby's snoring a little, restless a lot I worry about him He's so tired, works so much Doesn't get to do what he enjoys often enough (If at all) He willingly took my burdens & made them his own I'm still not used to being taken care of Makes me uncomfortable, guilty I took care of things for so many years Are 2 persons "stuff" too much for 1 person? Even a good, strong man? I know what it is to do more than my "fair share" Though the situation was completely different Is the end result the same?
