Try again

Okay after pressure from Mom and Tina I am here again.

The weather has been absolutely beautiful, in the 70s but very windy. I hung laundry out today (only 1 load) and had to put extra clips on to keep it on the line.  The stuff was dry in about 10 minutes.  It was actually so windy that we lost power for about an hour. Through this whole terrible (snowy and cold) winter that we had, we never lost power. Quite a comparison to CT when we were losing power all the time and those lines were even buried.

The quilt show in Duluth is coming up in early June which should be a good time. Haven't signed up yet and need to by the 10th or you have to wait in line to register. Still not sure if I want to take any classes or just go, look at the marketplace, buy a few trinkets, and just relax. I feel like there is enough on my plate without trying to add quilting.  There is also a fantastic yarn shop in Duluth where I can get some hemp to make string bags for the farmer's market.

Will try to get some pictures up tomorrow of some knitting, see if I can remember how to do it since its been a while.  Dan bought a pot of bulbs that we have transplanted and they are starting to bloom. The flowers in the front are purple (don't know what they are but mom will) and the tulips in the back I don't know about yet but I'm sure it will be pretty.

There is a gentleman in town who is going to come and till up the garden space tomorrow. I can't wait. Sam said he is going to help so we'll see how long the enthusiasm lasts. We will be about doubling the size of the garden and doing some companion planting to take advantage of space. 

Sam has 11 days of school left and is so ready to be done. He counts down every morning.

Love to all,
Leslie
