The Weekend Buzz

It was a hit-and-miss weekend.  Saturday: rainy & cold.  Sunday: windy and cool, but sunny by late afternoon.  I'm beginning to think it'll never be spring.  But we remain optimistic - the hummingbird feeders are out and Brady & Cody braved the cold on Sunday to set up the bee hives.  We should get our packages of bees on Thursday.  Hope they bring their jackets.

Other things are happening at the farm when the weather won't allow any progress on the fence project.  Brady has a new router (woodworking, not computer) and already has two nucs built and painted.  I'm knitting a pair of socks for his grandmother - just a basic sock pattern, something I can veg and knit while watching TV at night.  I love the yarn - Premier Deborah Norville Serenity Sock Yarn in Tanzanite.  It has a lot of purple in it - reminds me of the "When I am an old woman I shall wear purple..." poem.  I hope she smiles when she wears them.

Soon I'll publish my basic sock pattern and eventually have a few original designs to share.  Once the fence is done, that is.
