Springtime!
There’s a bird nest in the fern on the front porch. We’ll be using the side door for a while.
Other signs of spring:
I planted them and they grew!! EEEEE!
Games on the back porch.
Orchid cactus – it belongs to the woman who cuts my hair.
Blue monkey. Totally a sign of the season.
It’s Getting to be That Time
From the back porch.
School has seven weeks left. Very very soon and I’ll be able to think about all kinds of things again. Yarn and knitting and the yard and other people’s blogs and what to do about school next year and really anything that doesn’t fill me with anxiety.
PS That’s not the porch today. Today there is 2.5″ of rain and counting. But I don’t have to water anything so I am OK with it.
Spring Swap
Remember back when we talked about a Four Seasons Swap? Y’all. It’s Spring! Technically, down here it’s still winter if you stand in the shade, but I’m going to overlook it because it’s swap time.

Clean Spring Swap
*Boxes should include: Yarn for a dishcloth, knitting pattern for a dishcloth, a little something that’s good for cleaning (sample detergent, soap, hand lotion for after, you get the idea) and a small wind chime or similar springy item that makes you happy. Because I like wind chimes even though they don’t match my clean theme.
*Stash yarn and patterns are great (be careful of copyright on downloaded patterns). Unless you keep a treasure trove of goodies, you may have to spend a little on this swap. But not much if you don’t want since the Dollar Stores are jam-packed with silly little spring feel-goods!
*To sign up, leave me a comment with an email address where you can be reached by Friday night. I’ll send a brief questionnaire to collect mailing addresses and the like and make matches over the weekend.
*Ideally, swap packages should be in the mail by April 1. A week turn-around should keep anybody from overthinking it. This is an impulse swap!
I think that’s it! No more waiting! The leave-a-comment link is right
