Walking in the forest

Steve and I went for a drive his last week off in North Douglas. We went up to Eaglecrest and stopped a couple of times to walk around. I forget how wonderfully quiet and beautiful it is in the forest. We had lots of work to do at home, but getting outside and being together is important too. I'm glad we just quit working for the day.. it was glorious outside. I am continually amazed at the intricate and beautiful world that God made for us. Just look:




Isn't he cute?

I am on my last week of metal removal medicine..yay! I am so excited to get my clear head and energy back.. I am gonna go on a house cleaning and clothes washing frenzy.

On the knitting front, I have not one, not two, but 5 different scarves on my needles...and I am looking at 2 other patterns. I also have my shawl to finish and another one to start. I really need to get these finished before I cast on another..
And music... I have had 3 David Crowder cd's for along time, but hadn't gotten around to really listen to them. Today I listened to the A: collision one. WOW. It so lifted my spirits and made me just want to praise God. I haven't been listening to much music lately, it sure makes a difference in my mood.
This is going to be a clapotis.. the yarn is lorna's laces--it is so soft! I can't wait to start.
This is a feather and fan scarf with noro kureyon for Joanna. I saw the the yarn at skeins, and it just said make me for her. So I am. You must obey the yarn.

That's all for now, someday I'll post without this many pictures. hahahah.

Sun, warmth and blue skies

It's been so warm, we've had the windows open, and the house smells wonderful. I love to hear all the lawn mowers, and the birds. Spring is here and I love it.

I am feeling very blessed, as we have had sunny weather for almost 3 weeks now. I could so get used to this. I took this picture of David, Erik and Miriah as they were getting ready to head out for fun in the sun.
Miriah and Kelly at Thursday night Bible Study.. they are gonna be such sweet daughter's in law. :-)))))

My baby.

This past weekend Steve and I went to Don Abels and bought some flowers... we spent such a wonderful day in the yard planting them. I didn't plant any last year, I can't wait to see them in full bloom.
Emmy got to come outside with us, she just ran and ran around the yard. So cute! Max didn't get to come outside, he would have run off down the road. After all that planting, I was so tired! I haven't done that much in quite awhile...so I went inside and finished Angela's baby blanket. I think it turned out quite nice. Jason and Angela brought Kayleigh wrapped in it today to church. :-))) I do so love to knit items and then give them away.


I guess that's enough for today.. tomorrow I will post about a drive Steve and I took on Wednesday.
