Regenerate...

.... it's amazing what nature can do for your soul when the birds are singing, the weather warm, and the sun shining..... after what can only be called an evil winter... i feel like i can breathe again.

Actually i find myself sighing a lot... just a peaceful gentle sigh... from the lanai...

i am not at the home base but in the land of sea turtles (according to the sunday paper), baseball players and palm trees (not exactly in that order)... i ate breakfast outside this morning.. i am making this post outside this morning... i went for a long walk without a coat this morning... yes... it does the soul good...

i am almost done with another pair of soldier socks... i have to admit i left them to be finished on my flight here and flight back, since they are soooo easy to knit - no pattern necessary.. no problem just a ball or two of yarn and some "sticks". I've started a sweater for little miss in colors that her mom adored last year... it took me the better part of a year to find handpainted yarn in the same color way... of course they discontinued the yarn i made her first St. Patrick's Day sweater out of....

i don't think i can remember how to do the open in a new window link, but i will try. The sweater is a freebie from Classic Elite, Princess Smocked Cardigan and the yarn i am using is a handpaint from Araucania called Aysen in the color 823... foresty and blue-y... and just her colors...

i am better for this respite... or i will be...
