More May Day!

 Saturday I had an errand to run in town so I took the town kids their May Baskets...they were not home but luckily I had a bag to put the baskets in and I tied them to the railing by the front door.   I am sure they got me on their security camera!

Then I was off further South.

These two were home, their Mom was running an errand. 

I asked if they knew what yesterday was?   Of course they said "May Day!"  I asked  if they thought I had forgotten them?  They said "No we thought you were maybe too busy but we thought you would show up sooner or later!"  I asked how many May Baskets did you get?  They said "None...we only get them from you. "  Vivian shared that she liked the Fox May Day Basket the best from a few years ago:)

Fun stuff these May Baskets!

May Day!

 We were traveling on May Day...we managed to get a few May Baskets to the neighbors and to a little guy for his first May Day.   More baskets will be delivered on May 2nd....not quite as special but better than a kick in the butt.

We did May Day one day early with our "Greats" 



Baby K finally has some teeth and instead of Candy she got soft baby treats. 

Hope you all had a wonderful May Day!

May Baskets

 The May Baskets are pretty much set for delivery...they may be one day late for most folks..it all depends how I feel.  


They are supposed to be Hedgehogs...but might look more like Porcupines.

This pattern is the last of the Sack It creatures...I will have to start over again next year or find a new design.  I have seven different animals over the years...dog, pig, sheep, owl, fox, raccoon and hedgehog. 

May Day 1954 that was my dog Frosty in the background...he was a gift from my Maternal Grandparents.  They always saw that I had a dog when I was little.

Raiding the stash

 I raided my "stash" upstairs for the beginnings of a new crochet project.  


Not sure if this will be the final pick or not.   The dark burgundy in front may not make the cut.  Far Guy rolls all my yarn into balls for me...because I do not like yarn surprises like factory knots or thin spots. 

I am going back to a pattern that I used years ago...individual fancy granny squares....maybe... we shall see how it all works out. 

Quiet day on Wednesday.  Not much accomplished except a really long nap. 

Supper was eggs:)

Minnesota weather: High 45F  or 7C  Low was 29F or -2C.

Old

 Feeling a bit  a lot old this Spring.  Some good news is that all my biopsies at the dermatologist came back benign.  Nothing to worry about there! 

We had a quiet day...I had lots of RA pain so the couch and a hot rice bag were my best friends. The pain exhausts me so when I get comfortable I go to sleep.

Far Guy began a project.  He is taking all the old grout off from around the bathtub and redoing it...it is quite the project. 

Supper was Chicken Enchiladas and peaches...both from the freezer.

Minnesota weather:  High 46F or 8C  Low was 28F or -2C.
