new YARN!!!!!

well that new yarn i ordered arrived, and it looks as good as the pictures.
wow.......
meanwhile i am knitting a hat from the yarn leftover from damask.
it's the weekend too!
i lost a day this week, and thought that we had one more day
i did take a peak at the royal wedding dress and i am totally impressed at how elegant it was.
i didn't like diana's dress or fergie's i thought both dresses were way too fru fru and busy.
i think simple and elegant lets a bride's beauty shine over the dress.....
that would be the whole....'wear your clothes, don't let them wear you' thing

i know i didn't post this morning, i am so sorry, instead i ran to the post office.
i am getting a bit more sleep, thanks to the two fans that bernie got.
i think we'll be keeping one upstairs all the time, and take the second one into the studio during wood burning season, to push a bit more of the warm air into the main house.

today was spent doing a lot of dishes...
shepherding ducks
making phone calls (someone has to do it)
and generally puttering around
took down the easter stuffs.......and tulips (or they won't come down until fall)
now what do i put up?
i got used to putting some small things up in the front hall window (with a very deep sill due to stone walls)
the mantle gets done, and now i have that little white tree, i want to put paper flags on it for summer or at least through 4th of july
and then maybe something bright for august........?
i like that little white tree.

bernie's got his annual physical next week, he isn't a happy camper about it either.
he hates taking time off work but it has to be done.
i am going with him naturally, to insure the the doctor knows everything........ not that bernie would ever LIE or anything to the doctor....but he sure would avoid telling him stuff.

the salad garden on the deck is doing well, i can't wait to start harvesting
soon........... with the rain and heat those little plants are leaping into growth
meanwhile the main garden is sort of coming along
this year my seedlings look like crap so i am going to have to buy some plants for out there
i did see some beets and turnips out there that looked ok though
anyway everyone

i hope the folks affected by the weather are safe
and everyone take good care ok?
