Equinox

Today is the first day of spring. The time of the year when the night and the day are the same length. To celebrate the day, the trees are blossoming. Blossoms are fleeting, so enjoy them while they are out.

Camp Fire Aftermath

This afternoon we drove thru the ruins of Paradise, CA. The Camp Fire devastated much of the town and folks are desperately trying to clean up the mess and move on. I took a few pictures. I don’t plan to make many comments...please look at them.

Blossoms

The skies are gray, the rain continues to fall

...but the trees think it’s spring. The blossoms are glorious.

Daffodils

The daffodils are blooming! That’s a big deal because we’ve not had many daffodils the last few years. Daffodils need a lot of winter water and this year we’ve had the winter water. 

I apologize to my friends in the snowy parts of the US.

Not only are daffodils out, the hillsides are covered with emerald green grasses. It sure is pretty this time of year.

The Eighth Blanket

Tonight I finished the 8th blanket of the season. My fingers have been busy.

The colors are not true as this blanket is shades of green...a mint green, medium teal green and deep teal green, separated by a variegated yarn of all those colors. I have no idea why the colors are not true in the picture. Because it’s green, I’ve been calling it Patrick. I started this blanket twice, once with another pattern that did not look right after  12 rows. I tore it out and started all over again. The end product is great and I think a youngster will like it.
