mary mary quite contrary.
well, we have a while before breakup (when the ground thaws) and i think our plants are a little ahead of schedule.
i’m not sure what all is in here, (buku planted them) but i think the arugula, basil, and squash have taken off.
and some pictures of mary from this evening. i think there will be 4 flowers in the next few days.
’til then…
full bloom.
this afternoon, in between snows:
this evening (still snowing):
’til then…
merry mary monday.
this morning:
this evening:
’til then…
easter blooms.
today it was not sunny. it was pretty gray and cloudy and there were even a few flakes earlier this morning. buster still got out to munch on the expanding grass this morning.
despite the lack of sun, mary did poke her head out a little. yesterday evening she weighed in at about 20″.
and here is ashley’s little weenie mary. she finally put her out in the hot cali sun.
i started spinning my blue faced leicester (a type of sheep – you have to click the link! they have crazy looking heads).
i think its going to be a dk weight single.
and that baby dress i was knitting for my friend here… i finished the top and it was huge (and i ran out of yarn), like for a 2+ year old. so, i found an even cuter jacket and am frogging the dress while knitting the jacket. i think i might put some shorter sleeves on it though since it is coming on summer and trying to get a baby in long sleeves is not fun. it’s a wool/cotton blend so it should be plenty warm over clothing.
it’s super cute and stylish. it even has on offset button band down the front!
Happy Easter!
Here is one of my favorite pictures of our very own easter bunny, Buster and his pal mr.gnome (who i got from my sister and some jackass stole out of my fenced in yard!):

ms. mary saturday.
i’ve been feeling blah lately so have been posting mostly pictures – which i’m enjoying since i’m getting more posts out.
yesterday mary measured in at 19″. and today, she is starting to open (see the slit at the top – and ignore the dirty window):
it’s not official measuring time (when the sun finally goes down around 9ish), so i can’t tell you how tall she is.
it is super sunny out today (even buster is out enjoying it) so she may be blooming soon!
whoa…i just turned her and i can see a pinkish petal poking out, and down on the bulb end, she’s growing another stalk!
my hand carded, self striping project:
and the nice and fuzzy nz romney that i plied:
and my finished targhee wool:
’til then…
