happy weekend

for those of you in the US

Happy mother's Day

for the rest

have a good weekend

bits and pieces...

firstly I am not complaining

but it's raining again

and it's a tad chilly and grey 

again

but I remember the drought and heat too well to ever complain about the rain!!!

it's so green outside it's

dayglo!!!

yesterday morning I was trying to decide whether to work on the yo-yo's and hexes again

as the doily is making me irritable 

I keep making tiny mistakes that grow into huge errors and I have to keep going back and doing it again

so it's taking waaaaayyyy too long 

and I'm over it

BUT

 I want to finish it

oh that the world's problems were this minute!!!

anyway

while sorting things out

I heard the word

BABIES

from without the roomontheleft

and that was it

camera grabbed I left both hexes and yo-yo's

and went to see the BABIES!!!

here you can see mama and papa doing the neck thing and warning off whomever

look how big the babies are

so in the drizzle I stood

feet wet

 swatting mosquitoes or knats or whatever

and trying to be invisible

and failing!!!

so I left them to their lunch and departed

only to go back later on when they returned with

the heron the swans and the ducks that are left

 ( who buggered orff the second I appeared)

some people live in farmyards

we live with 

fowl

water fowl

the swans look a tad muddy...they spend an awful lot of time under the water...

so with all the water coming in to the lake I guess it's a bit dirty!!!

three families now together

safety in numbers

I hope

then the swans arrived and one lone goose who was not welcomed one bit

poor thing

and as I turned to leave them in peace once again

the heron.....

the blurry speck there flying by...

I also saw two other Canada Geese parents with babies and

HONKER

the lone otherkindofgoose 

but he helps look after babies if he is allowed

and he is

 but they swam around the corner and out of view

so he has a family again which is great

and  so 

all is well

on the lake

fingers crossed.....

:)

friday flowers...

yes all three together....

it's spring

time

 for 

colour 

and 

madness!!!

have a good weekend

hope the sun shines on you

and fills

your colour requirements

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

only 18 rows to go.... puff puff

only 18 rows to go.... puff puff, a photo by roomontheleft... on Flickr.

another doily...this one a much bigger size so it's taking a bit longer...but that's OK...I thought I had it finished but then found out that there was a second part to the pattern...which made sense as the "flowers" didn't look finished....

it's back to grey and cold again...so I'm glad I took some snaps of the sun...there is another storm out west...a snow storm...lots of snow...poor farmers can't get the crops in...and poor us when the prices go up again... stay warm...... :) :) :)

by the way....BTW....I wrote this on Flickr and posted it here....never realized one could do that....but then again I don't know much these days!!!

the sun'll come out...

IT DID!!!!!
