Oh, my, how lovely!

Sorry to hear that Richard was under the weather. I hope he’s feeling back to normal.

The doctor called me once, years ago. “If you want to see your mother again, you’d better come this weekend.”

I couldn’t go. My brother Chris did. Mom had a tube down her throat. She couldn’t talk. She wanted to say something. They brought her a piece of paper and a pen. “Candy.” Candy?! What on earth?

Had her grandchildren received the candy she sent them for Christmas?

Recently I took a notion to knit a 2-year-old great-niece a dress. Why on earth? Don’t like this yarn!

But on Mother’s Day I found myself knitting for my mother’s great-grand-daughter. Mom, a knitter, would have been pleased.

Oh. I did go visit Mom the weekend after her supposed last one. I was greeted with, “Take me home!”

I can’t think of any knitting better than the color of that yarn with that pattern. Beautiful!

beeYOOOtiful.
I discovered in my garden a ROSE BUSH growing.
I had dug up my roses to send with a friend moving away, as I can no longer garden as I wish to.
BUT there is a set of leaves coming up from where my Sutter’s Gold once bloomed. Likely the stock plant for the graft, but it will be interesting to see what develops :-}

Definitely. I can see how that ended up being in your knitting bag!

I’m so glad Richard is now doing well. The ER is scary whether you’re the sick person or the accompanying one. Happy Mother’s Day!

I love the color. And the new project looks wonderful. I wish I was more proficient in lace.

It’s interesting how often, when we do something “for no reason”, there’s a reason there somewhere. What a lovely color!
