It's Wine-Thirty!

Color, color, everywhere!

It is such a beautiful day outside, I wanted to share some pictures with you.

Here are the blossoms on my peach tree.  Aren't they pretty? 

And here are a couple of photos I took last night as the sun was setting.  There were some big clouds here and there, and you can see in the photos where the sun was showing through on the mountains. 

This second photo is my favorite.

Oh yeah!

While I'm sure you can't see exactly what it is, this is the start of the Ribby Cardi.  A trip to Webs on Wednesday provided me with 5 skeins of Cascade 220 in black, and another 4 skeins in turquoise blue.  For $4.89 per skein, it was irresistible.

Of course my biggest problem is deciding how I'm going to shorten this sweater.  I'm knitting the largest size; I'm not exactly what one would call "small", but I'm short in height.   ;-)   I think I'm going to have to actually do some knitting math calculations later on.  Oh, the horror!  Of course, if anyone wants to send any helpful information my way, I'm all ears!

Claudia inspired me to get outside for some photographs.  I'm stuck inside this office WAY too much for my own good.  So a quick run down of what I saw around my yard:

Sparky and Night in their respective cages.  Night belongs to Boo, but Sparky was born here.  Calvin lays claim to him.

A beautiful Spring sky!  Have you noticed that the sky is getting bluer?  The washed out winter sky is starting to go away.

The first dandelion I found in our yard.  Of course, I turned the corner of the house and found a bunch more.   :)

My pansies aren't looking too hot.  I think they might have been nipped by the cold air last night.

The pussy willows are going to seed.

And my Easter lillies are still blooming inside.

Show Me Your Spring Thing!

I want to have a bit of fun here.

What reminds you of Spring?  Is it the weather, is it the first flowers blooming, is it when the temps hit the 60's?  You tell me what reminds you of Spring.  Post pictures on your blog, and give me the link so that I can go see it.

I'll show you what reminds me of Spring:

That first trip to the beach when the water is so cold it hurts your feet!
