BE
If you want to be happy,
be.
~Leo Tolstoy
In between rain drops I
noticed signs of spring
everywhere I turned,
the flowers are so pretty.
Not so pretty? My kitchen
garden and the muddy
pit it's turned in to.
I gave up popcorn and
am now addicted to
this., it's great right
out of the jar. I leave
the coconut out and
add pecans.
I made my first ever
gauge swatch, I usually
just wing it, to knit
my favorite person
an Easter Cardigan.
Collected eggs from
my girls that are huge...
double yoke's?
And finally saw my
first sunset in a week,
it was beautiful.
It's been a pleasant
week here and I hope
the same for you where ever
you are in this world.
Have a great weekend,
and remember to laugh!
Love,
Tracey

that granola looks amazing! i will have to give that a go. :) and can i just say, you are a wonderful grandma.<3
ReplyDeletelove the look of that granola.....and what about those eggs - massive! Bet those double yolks make beautiful cakes.
ReplyDeleteHi there Tracey,
ReplyDeleteOoh I'm loving that spring is in the air. February isn't my favourite month but as soon as I see those little signs of spring I get so excited.
Thanks for sharing the grain free granola recipe I'm always on the look out for alternative breakfast recipes.
Oh and what a lovely idea to knit for Easter. I don't think I'll be joining you as I'm still catching up on Christmas sock knitting and have had a few hiccups. But I can't stop thinking about lovely spring like colours for spring and summer like corn and new shoot green.
Have an happy weekend...with lots of laughs for you and yours too. We're off to visit family so I'm there be lots of reminiscing which usually results in uncontrollable laughter.
Bye for now,
Deb
We love that granola recipe! Gauge swatches are so interesting. I have made a few, but tend to follow more of the Yarn Harlot's advice. She uses a sleeve as her swatch. Of course, this means I have to be comfortable ripping things out!
ReplyDeleteOh double yolks, always a lovely surprise when you crack them open..hope they are :) Glad to hear I am not the only one who skips the gauge swatch. The granola looks amazing, thanks for sharing. Happy weekend Tracey.
ReplyDeleteGranola, YUM! Not sure I could give up popcorn though, I would just have to eat both :). Spring? Just when I was beginning to think the same, we had snowfall all day yesterday!!
ReplyDeletewishing you a beautiful weekend full of wonderful knitting!!
xoxo
you've been a lucky knitter if you've been winging it! Thanks for the granola link, I'm sharing this with my sister :) Have a great weekend Tracey!!
ReplyDeleteTracy, your images are beautiful! And somehow, looking at all of that mud makes me excited for spring to arrive here too, mud and all.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful spring! I'm jealous... All white here yet!
ReplyDeleteSo that granola looks yummy! All this rain?!?! I've thought about building a boat. Your favorite person will love that sweater. Enjoy your weekend!
ReplyDeleteoh dear giving up popcorn? well your granola does look delicious! i hope the earth soaks up all the water soon and you revive your garden. well done on swatching!
ReplyDeleteTracey,
ReplyDeleteI love feeling signs of spring. Double yolk eggs are always so fun to find.
And thanks for the reminder: remember to laugh! :)
Love,
Taryn
Beautiful photos Tracey! You keep getting rain, we keep getting snow! ;)
ReplyDeleteSounds like a wonderful week! Hope your garden dries out soon. When do start planting?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos... even the mud! But then mud is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteMuch love to you.x
your poor garden....you would think it was april-showering.
ReplyDeleteEGGS!! yikes! at first glance i thought they were shin guards!! (can you tell I spend too much time around little people and their sports??) they are huge!
hope your weekend was grand!
Popcorn...no! The cardi is lovely Tracy- bet she will love it. Beautiful quote and images today...I think I will "be".

It must have been nice to get some rain! We haven't had much here lately, but a couple of little storms are supposed to move in later this week. In the meantime, it is very springlike here, too.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful sunset and I love the color of that blue yarn. I think I have only done one or two gauge swatches in my life.
I haven't started on your card yet, but I've been mulling around some ideas and look forward to creating it.
Hope you are having a great weekend!
That granola looks really good, I'll have to make a shopping list to get the ingredients next time I go to the farmer's market.
ReplyDeleteI guess I always wing it when I knit. I've never knit a swatch to check my gauge. That granola sounds dee-lish. I'll have to try it the next time I make granola for my yogurt.
ReplyDeleteNoooooooo! Not popcorn?! Oh well, that granola looks pretty tasty too.
ReplyDeleteCan you share the granola recipe? It looks fantastic. I always find it amazing how hens have eggs coming out from their bodies. Beautiful pic of the sunset.
