Spring 2010

Spring is in full motion here in Missouri. This time of the year I love to take walks, plant seeds, and knit outside. I also really like to travel this time of year. I love to drive with the windows down and the radio up. Spring feels new. Everything feels possible in the spring. Later in the summer I will grouse about weeds in the garden and watering plants, but now it is brown dirt ready to yield nothing but veggies and flower galore. It is so much fun to watch little boys putting seeds in the ground and then showing them the baby plants peep up from the earth. God is good and faithful like the seasons.






Who doesn't remember jumping from a moving swing. I was lucky to capture this pic of Zach in flight. We tried a couple of times before getting tired.

My Ride

After a year of being car less, I am the owner of a 1996 Roadmaster Wagon!!
I am so thankful for this car. I am thankful for my husband who knew how much I needed transportation. It is a perk of the job of wife and mother. I could live without it but my job is so much easier with a vehicle. I needed something to haul kids, dogs and groceries comfortably . This car is just the ticket...oh maybe that wasn't the best choice of words.
My first trip in the Wagon was to Iowa to see the Potter family. Driving is so much fun in this car ...like driving from a recliner.. God is good and absolutely dependable in meeting our needs...sometimes even our wants...

Yarn , Needles, and Hooks ...Oh, My

These pictures are of some of the knitting and crochet that I have gotten done lately. The first is a knitted afghan. The second is the same afghan that was still a work in progress. This soft blanket is done in Lion Brand Homespun.
This last blanket is what I call a scrape blanket. I use my leftover yarn to make this for my kids. I have made four of them so far..no five the first one I kept. The one in this photo belongs to Ethan. This blanket is crocheted and takes many months as I accumulate the scrap yarn. I enjoy watching the colors come together.

I need to find a better way to photograph these. Any suggestions?
