Spring.... At Last?!.... Maybe?!

So I sat out on the deck yesterday....   oh it was lovely... The snow was almost gone, and it was warm... like really warm. Warm enough that I was able to pull up my top a little and get some sun on my Lily white belly.... but I kept my chair back on to the road, that's for sure, and you will never see pictures of that! I'd scare everyone away.  Yes those pictures of snow that I posted the other morning were very short lived. I knew that and that's why I took the picture. By lunch time it was all gone. But it was very pretty.

There's a light in the spring in the north that you don't get anywhere else. It's really bright and unfiltered by the green leaves, it can even be harsh. Right now there are pussy willows starting to burst forth and the sun shining on those soft frothy buds make the trees look like something from one of Shakespeare's plays... (As You Like It maybe). It all has a dream like quality about it. There are millions of wee birds around and the coyotes have been really active in the last few weeks. I hear them all the time just before it's time to get up or just after dark. The days are getting longer too. Right now the sun is rising at 5:43 a.m. and it is daylight long before that. The sun is setting some time after eight and it really isn't full dark until 9:00 p.m. or later. The ground is starting to dry out so it is not all about muck in the yard.

What did I do while out on the deck? Well, I didn't just sit. I spun. I finally finished off this...

 It now looks like this....

 Oh and this picture doesn't even come close to doing it justice.

Later:
....Ok I've been trying all day to get this post finished and it just hasn't happened. I went to Chetwynd today to finish Easter shopping... I got kicked off the computer this morning to shower before I went. Then I got home and tried finishing again but almost fell asleep at the computer because I was awake half the night... (check the calendar... I betcha that we're close to a full moon) I was spinning half the night... I finished this...

dang it!....yup I haven't figured out my new camera yet and I can't get a good picture... so I'll just tell you instead.  In the middle of the night I spun a full spool of Denim Blue Cotswold (that's wool for you non woolies) that I had been given some years ago for Christmas... it turned out really pretty... I'll see if I can post a picture tomorrow.

Anyway... I tried finishing this post this evening but then remembered that it is Knit Night and I had to run off for that.... so now I am finished b---ching about not having enough time to .... well you get my drift. But at least I'm just about finished.

I'm sure that Good Friday will be better. I'm sleeping in late and nursing this darn pain in my kidneys... no it's not an infection... I don't think... and I'm going out to spin on the deck again if the weather stays nice.

See ya tomorrow.
