Spring photos

Here's a wool and mohair shawl I knitted during GED testing this week. Size 10 1/2 needles and a brainless mitered pattern makes it just fly! I'll give it to Medical Team International, and they'll give it to someone who is cold. Maybe an earthquake victim in Italy? Maybe a refugee in Romania? Maybe not. It's definitely not cold around here today. If you listen very, very closely (and stay vewy, vewy quiet) you can hear a tiny fusillade of buds popping open and unfurling. Cottonwood trees have leafed out between dawn and afternoon. Apple blossoms are exploding and the ornamental cherry trees are frothing like pink alkaseltzers.

The magnolias are happy!

And don't my daffodills look nice with the sun behind them?

Amy Lane came up with a meme that I have been very dilatory about.

Watermelon - sweet and cold and dribbling juice down my chin and all over my swimsuit so I have to go run through the sprinklers to wash it off.
