A SPRING YARN ALONG....IN JANUARY

Everything is blooming most recklessly;              
if it were voices instead of colors, there
would be an unbelievable shrieking into
the heart of the night. 

~Rainer Maria Rilke

 The skies have been
sunny and blue,
with temperatures
not at all like they
should be for January,

 and while I never know
how to dress, wondering
is it hot or cold today,

 it seems  that the plants
in my yard are just as confused,

and think that it's time
to awake and bloom.

 Along with flowers opening
everywhere, baby shower
announcements are arriving in
the mail, mostly from the young
people my babies grew up along
side.  [I know, I can't believe it
either!].

 So I set aside my Pi Shawl,
and cast on a Simple new born hat
designed by our hostess, Ginny.
This is my all time favorite baby
hat, so sweet and perfect for new
souls just in the world.

 My Amazon order just
arrived so I will be digging
into my copy of Making Home
in my never ending quest to
be self sufficient.

Is there something fun on
your needles?
