Mid Week Meanderings

It's been a beautiful week, yet chilly weather is on the way. The lilacs are budding pretty well, and I really hope the temps don't get low enough to make them suffer. It's always a dice roll with lilacs around here. Will they make it to full bloom? Or will there be a late freeze that will nix some or all of the flowers? Keeping my fingers crossed.

With a 30 degree dip in the mercury, I am making sure I get a walk in after work, no matter how creaky the knee feels!

I knitted last night at the lys' open knit night. I am making splendid progress on the Alison's scarf. Splendid, I tell you! I was having a discussion about the rate of yarn usage with a fellow knitter. I believe it proceeds much faster, and I am sure this has been proven and published somewhere, when one isn't going to have enough. (See Forest Canopy Frustration!) On the other hand, as is the case with the Alison's scarf, when one is knitting "until the yarn is gone", the skein is never-ending. Try this theorem for yourself and see if it doesn't prove true!

I mailed off a package today to Wisest Sister. (Surprise! Happy Birthday to you!)

Tomorrow, another hair trim. Let's see how much grow out I have now. I bet it is still at four inches, even though I have been taking extra folic acid in an effort to speed up the process. Agh! I would be done with this in between-ness. On the upside, Grandbebe Girl and her momma will come see me while I am under the scissors!
