MY BUDDY AND ME

Life is what we make it,
always has been, always
will be. 

~Grandma Moses

The peach trees are
starting to bloom and

the fig tree is awaking,
but the temperature took
a nose dive and didn't even
reach 60 degrees today.

With Emerson's daddy overseas,
and her mom having to go out
of town for a work conference,
I have been keeping company
with my favorite person.
Why is it that I always forget
how much energy little people
have? It is endless I tell you,
endless!
Today we bundled up
against the cold and the 35 mile
an hour winds and went for
a stroll.

We saw horses
running across the
sky,

and lots of deer tracks
in the wet marsh sand,

and while we were a little
bummed that we weren't getting
any snow that others were,

we laughed when
we spotted snowflakes
on a cedar tree.

Stranding is so much
easier than I thought,
and way more fun than
I ever imagined,

although it does use
more yarn that I had
planned. I was a little
concerned I wasn't
got to have enough
to finish, but I just
made it.

And because it seems it's

something I always do, I

have already cast on another

one, this time in green.

 

 

And not to be left out,

Emerson has her own needles

and yarn. She was sitting beside

me this morning, working away,

looked up at me, smiled and

said, " Olie, we can just knit

and knit all day". 

 

She melts my heart!
