I sat at the bluff overlooking the mouth of the Kenai River and Cook Inlet during lunch today – it’s a great place for photos – I’ll share if any came out – later after downloading.

But today? Today was special! I now know that it is officially spring in Alaska: I saw my first pair of ducks winging madly overhead – AND – I heard my first woodpecker. Yay!

Not much sun today – it breaks through enticingly on occasion, though. Mt. Redoubt had a cloud layer right across her middle. An all-around lovely bit of time away from shop.

Don’t forget to go and vote for Knitting Passions or Watching Survivor – okay? And, if you are nominated for something, let me know so I can go vote for you, too.

And, congrats to Lessa for her new “watching” blog – Watching Rachel Ray.

I tell you, Lessa’s snark is on fulltime these days. I love living life vicariously through her. It is SO much fun!

There ya go – you’re flickr bar is fixed. *grin*

All of you who had a part (and you ALL had a part – whether monetarily or through prayers and thoughts for him while he was gone) in the Boy’s trip to Europe . . . head on over to Lessa’s to hear a snippet of the choir’s performance from last night. I know, it is not the same as being there, but you will get a taste.

I, being the old softy that I am, was near to tears during several of their pieces. Most of the music was done without music. Some was done with instruments – viola and violin, flute, French horn. Lovely.

I, being the thrifty, crafty person that I am, took along one of my knitting projects – the felted bag – and worked on it while sitting through a 2 1/2 hour concert(!! – long, but worth it!!)

Harumpf! Well, I was going to post the photo here and brag about how much I had gotten done (see, moosie, it does not pay to brag!), but apparently flickr is having some sort of hissy fit and will not allow me to share. So – look over there to the right – if that is still working – and click on the pictures there. The bag is the two toned piece – I am showing you with my fingers where I was before the concert and you can see how much was accomplished during the concert.

here, I will post a thumb and you can go on to flickr to see the fullsized pic – how’s that?

The pink is the progress I made yesterday morning on the antique patterned baby bonnet. It is a sweet pattern.

So – I am off to work – everyone have a stupendous day!

:moose:

Rented and watched Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock in Lake House. Snnniiiiiiffffff! I’d encourage you to rent it – if you like chick flicks and mystery and such. I will definitely want to watch it again sometime.

But just to make it more fun - I just opened one of my email accounts and found an email dated  April 7, 1970. Now, I deleted it, of course, because those predated emails (how do they do that anyway?) are generally spam of some sort.

But, what if . . . .

nahhhhhhhhhhhhh 

okay friends . . . you REALLY must go and see this:

Easter Bunnies - we are Easter bunnies . . . ohhhhhohhhhhohhhh . . .  and, whatever you do, do NOT skip the bloopers at the end. LOL!
