Well, we had two days of Spring with temps way above normal. It was in the 70's and sunny and wonderful. I actually was able to start cleaning up the winter mess in some beds and I cut back all the dead seed heads and stems. Today is cold and windy and rainy. Gray and dreary! I know March is still technically wintertime. It just is wonderful to have the warm days to get out and do yard work.
I finished the two bobbins of yellow wool. Now to plying. I guess it is good to work on some not-really-soft wool for a change. I am spoiled by the merino and other luxury yarns I make. The yellow is a Romney-cross that is a tiny bit rough. At least compared to the others. On its own it is lovely. I dyed it with marigolds.
My friend GK just had her gallbladder removed. I hope this is all she needs to get better now. She had been vomiting for two weeks when the doctor finally addressed the gallbladder. The surgeon who consulted slapped her in the hospital because her potassium levels were life-threatening low, and she was dehydrated. So hopefully she will get better and start feeling normal again.
CJE just went to Santa Fe to visit with friends. She is feeling less stressed and rejuvenated.
Patty just woke up. I had to take her out into the yard to start her day. It is very windy, cold, and I didn't notice the mist until I took my hat off. It was damp and I hung it up to dry. Ugh! Bring the sun back.
There is a major uproar right now on a pig factory farm being on the Buffalo River. It is always a concern for the quality of recreational water. I think the people were able to buy land cheaply in Newton County. It is not just the pollution to the watershed, it is pollution to the air quality. I am sure the owners used the "jobs and money to the local people" card.
Well-on to plying yellow. Have a good day. Please don't drink green beer. YUCK!
