This week will go down in history as the Great Weed Out.

This is not a weed.

I was desperately lazy about the flower beds this winter and am paying for it now. I am about 75% finished with de-weeding, mulching and planting bulbs (I know it’s too late but they were on sale) and a couple perennials. Since it is freakishly cold this morning (such a shame haha) I have a minute to show you my other great accomplishment.

I can hardly believe it myself!

That is 20 CounterPain Squares crocheted together. I did it myself! They fit the width of the bed exactly as planned – with the lace edging it will look just right. I can’t even tell you the relief it brings me to know that this is actually going to work. Bonus points to me because it it pretty and I learned to crochet! Points to the CounterPain because there are still 111 squares to go (120 to join). The CounterPain is still in the lead, but I am gaining ground.

Happy Easter.
