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.Wednesday, April 1, 2026

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!

Blooms
In warmer climates..they have blooms. Photo from my sister.
We will have blooms in a couple of months. After all it is Minnesota...my Dad used to say that over his years he witnessed snow in Minnesota every month of the year. I wish I could recall what years he said...but I cannot.
Minnesota weather: Sunny! high 48F or 9C low was 25F or -4C eh!
We had a quiet day on Saturday. Far Guy did some woodcarving. I did some laundry and crocheting.
I made potato salad and Andy grilled steaks so it was almost a Summertime meal. And it was delicious!
Saturday evening they are all watching hockey, I will join them for a bit...hockey is ok ...I can watch a bit and no one gets upset if I ask dumb questions! Then I will escape to read:)

Friday
We finished #19 and #20 of 22 appointments. Come back in three months and come back if you have problems...alrighty then.
We have had some cold windy days and it snowed huge snowflakes a couple of times yesterday. The wind is just raw.
A sunset photo that my sister sent from Phoenix where she reports it is very warm:)
Minnesota weather: High 30F or -1C low was 21F or -6C. We should see warmer temperatures over the weekend and into next week when it could rain instead of snow...but you never know.
Far Guy, Jen and Andy watch Hockey...playoffs I guess. I read, work on a puzzle or watch whatever I want to on another TV....lately old reruns of Project Runway Allstars.
Far Guy and I made pizza for supper..it was really good...Pillsbury Crust with Italian Sausage and Pepperoni.
