I was working on another Wensleydale block yesterday and glanced, as I usually do, out the window behind my machine. A flock of robins was hopping around the front yard! What a great sight. It gave me hope that spring is on the way. It was a sunny day but chilly and windy. Later in the day we had a brief snow shower, but my optimism about spring remains undaunted. "The snow that takes away the snow" will inevitably give way. My Dutch sister has been posting pictures of Keukenhof where everything is abloom.
It's one week before Easter, and my pink Christmas cactus is blooming. Friday I drove over to the Lake Champlain Chocolate outlet and got some chocolate bunnies. Their chocolate is delicious - almost as good as Dutch - and I like to give them away to family and friends. This Saturday we'll be going to Burlington to see a play about Marie Curie with longtime friends Pauline and Bob. Afterwards, we'll have dinner at our favorite Middle Eastern restaurant and spend the night. We all have Easter things to do, so Paul and I will head home fairly early in the morning, and I'll leave them each a bunny.
My daily goal is to make five Wensleydale blocks a day, and I cut out a bunch more fabric yesterday to make it all easier. Today we have some grocery shopping to do, and then I'll get right to it. This afternoon we're hoping to get to the movies to see Project Hail Mary. The theater always shows films with subtitles on Sunday afternoons. I plan to make some chili for dinner before we leave. So I'd better get on with my day. Hope you have a good one!
