It is warming up!! The temps were in the low 40's this morning instead of hovering around 32...and the sun is out and it should be up to 60 or more today. Tomorrow and Saturday? Even warmer - forecasting 80! Of course, pollen is beginning to settle on everything and "they" are saying this is supposed to be an unusually bad/awful pollen season this Spring. I don't even care at this point. I'm just hungering for Spring.
I got a later start than usual this morning due to a doctor's appointment at 8:30. After having several basil cell carcinomas removed (including one where I ended up losing half my nose!!), I see a dermatologist twice a year for a full body look-over. Today was a great visit - no suspect spots were discovered. And she is thorough!! Looking between my toes, going through my hair (like a monkey almost - lol). So, happy to not have to go back for another six months (but I also check myself very regularly and if I see anything, I'm on the phone and back in the office pronto).
And this guy was back at the vet's yesterday:
Poor Talbot had to have two more teeth pulled (soon he might need dentures!!). he came through the surgery just fine and did not have to spend the night this time.
I'm still reading "Flat Broke With Two Goats" (about 80% through it). I'm enjoying the story mostly (except for the snake parts), but find myself saying constantly "Really?" "How can you make such a stupid decision?" Some folks just never learn.
On the knitting front, not much is going on. I did another 10 rows on the Cascade Heritage sock last night while Fletch read (BTW, we are thoroughly enjoying reading together Twenty Thousand Leagues Under The Sea). The Lonely Tree Shawl has come to a stand-still. Once again at the 20 or 22nd row I found a mistake. I'm at the point where I feel the yarn is telling me it definitely does NOT want to be a Lonely Tree Shawl! I do have a lifeline in, but hesitate to try again. The yarn is becoming a bit splitty from the unraveling that has taken place. It might be time for it to go into time out and wait for another pattern.
It's just about 10:30 a.m. which means only 48 hours till I meet Dee at the Allentown Fiber Festival - I'm only a little excited - lol.
