I love my children,but I am so happy to be back home. I worry about them. I’ll be glad when Win finds a job that he really likes instead of “just a job”. Jenn has been having trouble with her periods. Dr. T retired a couple years ago, but she has finally found someone else who gives her the care that we were so used to having with Dr. T. He’s also a Hopkins doctor. I’ll probably go back in a few weeks.

Here’s the yarn that I bought from Enchanted Knoll Farm in Maine. It came when I left. My not certain what I will make with it, but I really am very pleased with it. It has a great feel and the colors are so much better than this picture.

The heel is finished and I’m coming down to the toes. I’m expecting my other sock club any day and I brought back sewing, knitting and crocheting to do. My daughter can sew, but my machines do so much more than hers. John keeps taking her fleece throw so she bought a piece for him and wants me to finish it the way I did hers. She also wants me to change the sleeves on her tunic. I have a knit shirt from Win with some strange holes. I guess it beats catching turtles for my grandson.
The snow is just about gone. Each day has been getting a little warmer and I’m hoping to be able to sit outside this weekend. I don’t think this is yet the beginning of Spring. 
Here’s the creek on Tuesday morning before I left. It was still very cold, but the sun was bright and there was much wind. One of the roads that I usually take had not been plowed so I had to take state routes. I probably could have taken the other road, but I didn’t want to get stuck. I’m too old and creaky.

We had about four inches and it never got above freezing. Zip went out, but the snow was too deep for him to get anywhere. At least I didn’t have to out in it. 
It fits perfectly. The pattern was easy to follow and went fast. I’ve all ready got about two inches on the second. It’s going to be a little different. I’ll show you later. I’m not certain that I like it yet.
I had a couple of very ripe bananas that I wasn’t going to eat so I got out two more from the freezer. There were some cashews whose age I did not know and I had about four bags of bittersweet chocolate. I was trying for a dozen, but I think the chocolate chips took up too much room. This is definitely the best recipe I have come with so I will write it up and put it on a page.
am about to decrease for the toe which I hope to finish tonight. Then, I can start the second. Here’s yesterday’s progress. This isn’t yesterday’s. This is two days ago. I thought I had taken a picture, but I couldn’t find it. Even though I don’t have big feet, I had to add about an inch. I made a design similar to the ankle trim.
Usually it’s too windy to walk along the river in the winter. It was only 30 degrees, but the sun was shining. This is one of the reasons I like living here.

I loaded a few pictures so let’s see how long that takes. So far, this one is faster, but it may just be because there is not much on it.
