Happy Easter

Jim, Gus and I went for a walk at the Conservatory down the road tonight. Still the only thing poking its way through the leaves is the skunk cabbage. This is a close up of the flower. There is lots of frost damage to the leaves that have come up but from past experience there is abundant skunk cabbage and I doubt it could kill it all off. We spent the rest of the day catching up on things in the yard, getting the bikes ready for the season, fixing the doors on the shed and trying to outwit the critter in the attic by making it harder to access the attic through the vent for the attic fan. We shall see how successful we were in a couple of hours.

I bought new pedals for my bike and shoes to clip into them. The plan was to put the new pedals on and go for a spin. Both Jim and I tried and tried but could not get the old pedals to budge which we had been warned about. I will be taking my bike into the bike shop on Tuesday and they will have to make the switch. Guess we have lost some strength in our old age.

Below is a picture of Mckenna modeling the baby blanket I made for her cousin-to-be Aiden. (Herb's sister is due in June and of course everyone always knows the sex prior to the actual event now) I have really enjoyed getting back into crocheting. My attempt at felting is needing some perfecting but I will go see Christine at the yarn shop on Tuesday to see what steps I need to take next. I know I have not passed the point of no return yet.


Have a great week.
