Ready,

 set,
FROG!
The first blossoms are bursting to open, but I think we'll still have to wait a day or two. And with the warmer and balmier weather, the frogs are out and about again. I have missed them..

To those of you new to my blog, I have to give you fair warning. Now starts the time I will probably overwhelm you with photos from our garden and our walks in the neighborhood. Spring inspires and delights me! Thank you in advance for indulging me...

And thank you so much for all the good advice on my scarf. Even though almost everyone had a different opinion (I knew that would happen), it still gave me an idea of what I'll do. Because I knit this on the diagonal, the short edges never look that nice to me. So, I'll knit a little border with the soft mohair yarn and then - if I have more yarn leftover - I'll list it without a fringe, but with the option of me adding one if so desired. Thank you, Doris (Crocheting in Georgia) for that great idea!! I'll be sure to show it to you again when it's finished.

You all are the best!!

    I am jealous that you are enjoying spring and we still have snow on the ground. Well, not really...I'll just get my spring fix from you! :o)

    You're welcome, Silke! I like to give my potential customers a little choice now and again - I can't believe how quickly Spring is arriving here - I took so many photos today that I could not even post them all in one post...I have to split them up: bees, birds, flowers - unbelievable...what a great time to be alive!

    Enjoy this weather!

    Le printemps commence à montrer le bout de son nez chez nous aussi, mais les fleurs sortent timidement.
    J'adore votre petite grenouille...
    Bisous.

    When I was a child, I loved the frogs :-) I took them often, I liked feel their smooth skin into my hands... Ha ha, and when they moved, I jumped! :-D But always it was funny. Thanks for all this memories. Kiss!
