Look! They are blooming. I love this time of year. (by the way HAPPY SPRING).

UPDATED: this is what they looked like tonight at 6pm- booo!! It is snowing and cold now. Oh-well, we need thprecipitationon, right? Um, Happy Spring...

The color starts to come back into the world. For a brief second the Nevada hills are FULL of green, although not quite yet- they are still covered with snow.. But soon.

I love how the bright yellow contrasts with the red deck. I can see the bush of yellow from my kitchen and I know that not long until the plum and apricot trees out back will start to become beautiful with blossoms as well. Soon we will be in our short sleeve shirts and shorts, and flippees and eating outside on the patio at dinner time. There will be sprinklers to turn on and run through, and the little Christmas twinkle lights in the trees for atmosphere. I love the spring time.

F is also for flowers... These little purple beauties are popping their heads out right now too.

F is also for Finished object~ a sock. I will cast on today sometime for the mate. I LOVE the way this yarn knit up and the colors are fabulous. I still haven't decided who will get these....


I leave on Wed. For my Mystery vacation destination. Hubby or ratherCaptianpt. Vacation, as he is also know by friends, is planning something. He hasn't told me much, just to pack warm, and bring a bathing suite...hmmmm. I will have to wait and see. Lots of pictures to come.

Hey, maybe we will even find photo boothth, or a yarn shop?!? hee hee.
