Keeping Busy
The sun came out today (it was just about too warm for my heavy jacket!) and so did the camera. The crocuses are in bloom in the Meadows and in my front yard, and I can’t wait for the Daffodils next!
Flowers in the front yard
The Meadows
Everyone else seemed to agree that today would be perfect for hitting up the Farmer’s Market:
See that pretty blue sky?
During the winter, the Market is mostly full of butchers, fishmongers, and the odd baker, but there was some nice produce mixed in today:
I see the makings of a good omelette!
I bought an angus burger, which I planned on taking a close-up photo of - the kind that would upset a vegetarian while still appealing to their photographic eye - but I remembered my plan literally as the last bite of that beauty went into my mouth. It was tempting to order a second, but I managed to restrain myself. Instead I ducked into a Starbucks and bought an iced latte (thanks, family!) One day of sun and I act like it’s appropriate to get iced drinks! I stayed in the cafe and studied/knitted, then set off toward the Meadows again.
Indeed, the flowers are everywhere.
Of all the lovely things I saw and smelled and heard today, perhaps my favorite was the pencil case I bought to house my knitting supplies. Usually they kick around, haphazardly, in the bottom of my tote bag, which is pretty frustrating when I’ve just dropped a stitch and need a sturdy crochet hook to save the day. Anyway, it took fifteen minutes of rummaging through the bargain store, but in the back corner, buried under far more practical options, was this beauty:
Score!
Yep, I am well excited to show up to my knitting group on Wednesday with my new pencil case.
