Why hello there, Mr. Sun.
Friday, February 18, 2011 at 11:35AM This week, we enjoyed a preview of some spring-like weather. We also received our first installment of Girl Scout cookies. I will not go on record and state how many boxes are headed our way from various orders--other than to say it's frightening.
With the afternoons so warm and lovely, we enjoyed sitting outside for a spell.
Well technically, I suppose, it was I--and I alone--who sat, devouring my new camera manual (figuratively) as well as other things (literally)...
The boys played and played. It was amusing to watch them attack the garage as if they hadn't seen its contents in ages. Max came across a bag of items set aside to donate and quickly invented a game of "keep away the lamb." Not sure what it involved, exactly, other than a lot of chasing, tagging, and a scuffed knee.
I can report that it tuckered him out...
William grabbed a bit out of every corner of the garage, greeting each item like an old friend...
And Leo organized a neighborhood game of soccer...it's a new version, where the entire team serves as goalies...
As for me, I have two newly knitted hats to show for the equal number of lazy afternoons spent outdoors this week. Keeping my hands busy as I keep an eye on the boys makes me feel productive. I will take proper pictures of the finished hats soon. But here is a preview. I think it beats pictures of what else resulted from my impromptu al fresco afternoons: an unruly kitchen, unvacuumed living and dining room, un-put-away laundry. Totally worth it, I say.
Happy Friday!

New camera! How exciting - I am thinking about buying a Canon s95. The flurry of hats continues...hard to stop, isn't it?
Sarina--the S95 is my dream compact! I don't have it but borrowed one when I needed a smaller camera on a recent trip. It's amazing...RAW ability, image stabilization, f 2.0 aperture, ISO 3200, wide angle...yet so small & convenient...I could go on and on. Loved it! And yes, more hats are on the horizon (including Gretel b/c of your lovely version!!)
I love the preview of your knitted hats- can't wait to see the full feature! :)
Thanks Nnenna! I've been on travel and have another hat to add to the group, thanks to longish flights...knitting small projects is so addictive. Who doesn't like instant gratification?
