It's been a long time...

"I shouldn't of left you, without a doped beat to step to.." Eric B and Rakim, Micraphone fiend.

Yes here is a quick blog post for you all.
I like many others have been making cabled yarn. I like it so much I have finally settled down to making enough yarn for J's sweater.

The push for the farm has begun in earnest. I have decided on Shetland sheep, picked out a Cub Garden tractor and settled on 5 acres but more wouldn't be a problem. Now if I could pick a state and find a plot...

Knitting has taken a turn for the spring. I'm still working on the baby blanket for our family friends. At 8 stitches to the inch I will be knitting all the way to August. Quisha's sweater is at a standstill and the kids sweaters will be vests from now on.

Work is progressing, I'm still having some feast or famine issues but such is life.

Gardening has taken the place of major knitting. I need to move my one rhoddie bush, replace it with a rose and replace the white rose that died. I also need 4 new hostas for the tree in the back and 3 -5 new annuals for the south garden. Everything else is coming up just fine, I laid down some daisy and wildflower seed last week we will see if any of those come up.

One of my "interest Farms " looks like its gone out of business. Tongue River Farm's owner is ill to the point they have dispersed her flock. It was a one woman operation and so it no longer is.
They have my sympathies.

TV: Dr Who, Torchwood, Moonlight and TD Jakes. Soon it will be Eureka, Saving Grace, and who knows what else.
