Hopeful

 Dogs are forever hopeful...seems like they are always optimistic.

They never realize that the stick they have carried from the woods has to be left outside.

Surely it will fit inside?  

Maybe someone will come lay down in the snow with me? 

Nope not happening. 

It snowed most of the day...fine flakes...there is probably 2 or 3 inches of new snow. 

Minnesota weather: High 33F or 1C  Low was 29F or -2C eh!  We now have a Winter Storm Warning instead of a Winter Weather Advisory.

Far Guy went to his first April appointment (weekly infusion)...thank goodness we only have 9 appointments in April...practically on vacation. We need a rest after all the March appointments.  I went to Aldi and Hobby Lobby...everyone and their Uncle was in town today...storm shopping would be my guess.

Never give up...Spring is bound to come someday.

It is not even an April Fool's joke.

Pastel

 I am working on colors in the stash.  The stash could be an ongoing project for several years:)

There will be more colors, it is a shell stitch and I am using DK yarn and a 3.5  crochet hook. 

Tuesday morning Sadie came to tell us that she had a problem.  It was TUESDAY.  She goes to Daycare every Tuesday and plays with friends.  Andy forgot it was Tuesday and left her at home...good thing Far Guy knew what day it was and what her problem was!  How in the world did she realize it was Tuesday???  Dogs know more than we think they do. Yes Jen took her to daycare!  No April fooling either!

Minnesota weather: Snowy and windy.  High 35F or 2C  Low was 23F or -5C eh!

Last day of March

 We can March right into Spring...but the wind is still raw and you need a parka, mittens and a hat....note to self your crocs with socks just don't cut it yet. 

We completed #21 and #22 of our appointments in March.  What a relief to put that behind us!  One Doctor says come back in a year and the other said 6 months!  Alrighty then.

Far Guy can see without glasses.  His vision is pretty near 20 20. We have eight drops left to do...out of 318 that is an accomplishment itself.  The Doctor reports his eyes are healing well after the cataract surgery. 

I am getting better at scheduling appointments...we have some scheduled in June and some in September all on the same day or two. Unlike last year when we had appointments every week and had to drive up North often....or appointments every day that had us staying with Andy and Jen a fair amount of time. 

Minnesota weather: High 42F or 6C  Low was 29F or -2C. There was some sun but mostly wind.  I am thinking that March is going out like a Lion as we have snow in the forecast.

Whats cooking?  I made Chili and Grilled Cheese:)

Moon

 We saw the moon after supper on Sunday.

Snow is melting but the wind is just raw. 

Far Guy and I ventured out to Michael's I needed some beige yarn for a project and he needed the parts for a clock.

Only three Doctor appointments this week!!

Minnesota weather: High 49F or 9C  Low was 29F or -2C.

Supper was whatever you liked out of the fridge.  I love a no cooking day!
