This and That

~Last week when we were digging a hole to bury some chickens, we said we might find some historical artifacts. After we explained to Brent what a historical artifact was, he said, "Ya, maybe we'll find an old fashioned Volkswagen Bug down there!"
~We have been talking about The Royal Wedding over here. However, since it starts televising at 2 am and the actual ceremony starts at 5 am (our time) I don't know if we'll be able to watch it. Think getting up at that time extreme? There were people camping out yesterday along the procession route in order to have a spot on Friday.
~This post doesn't have pictures because I have taken about four pictures in the last month. Those four were taken solely for the purpose of trying out Photoshop, so they aren't very good.
~Spring has arrived! At this point I think we won't get anymore snow. The last snow we got was the 18th. Now however, there are green things sprouting everywhere and it is warm out, so I'd say it's safe to suppose we won't get more snow.
~Leah, Meghan, and Emily have all gotten new pets in the last couple of weeks. Leah has two teddy bear hamsters, Amos and Enoch, Meghan has a rabbit named Myrrh, and Emily has two zebra finches which she calls Tobias and Tiberius. The hamsters have to go, though, because Allison is allergic to them. So....if you live near enough, do you want two cute hamsters, with cage, food dish, water bottles, wheels, ball, etc. for $30?
~Yesterday Leah made some creative clay stuff. The afternoon was rainy and everyone was loud and rambunctious, so Leah's clay gave them something constructive to do. Warren made Leah a pair of earrings - pine trees on wires.

My Latest Project

I bought this sweater at a yardsale last May. I loved its warm softness. Consequently I wore it often. However, it was getting thin and worn out.



So, I ripped it out.


I now have several balls of yarn, purple and white, waiting to be turned into something else.


The question is, what shall it be?


I'm thinking a sweater for Nadia, but I'm not sure if I have enough yarn. I could make a hat and scarf. Any suggestions?
