I keep thinking I’m getting close to finishing this baby afghan and I keep thinking, no, at least 10″ more: Colourmart’s swatch showed a 3.9″ tall swatch shrinking to 3″ in the wash. I have to knit that extra length that’s not going to be there.

It will fluff and puff out into exquisite softness.

Here, let me go finish my 2″ quota for the day. Meantime, I love my front walkway this time of year and the first peach tree out back is about to burst into pink all over.

(Are the tops of my photos getting cut off for you these days? Or just over here? It’s not been letting me fix them.)

We have one very confused rose bush in our backyard. It already has a couple of buds, but we had a few freezing nights last week, so I don’t expect those to flower.

Your daffodils are early, too. Should be a couple more weeks – closer to St David’s Day, March 1 (says your friend with Welsh roots).

The picture is cut off on the blog, but when you click it it’s all there, just sideways.
