Up very early this morning and I decided this was a good day, first of no coughing, and with actual breathing, though a bit stiff, to get back to weights. So I joined April and Aiko and worked out for 30 minutes using 5 lb weights.
And the Korean spicebush is nearly in bloom and ready to release a wonderful scent any day now.
The last chance for daffodils
I've been hearing a lot of birdsong, and yesterday I noticed the mockingbird is back. That might account for some of the singing, since they have quite a range.
Yesterday was a day of puffy clouds, blossoms and birds.
Also a mystery moss, I think, an emerald carpet of fine straight fronds. It's in a damp area, moss friendly, so that's why I think moss.
This time of year is precious because it's warm enough to walk and the mosquitoes haven't started up. I notice that despite the spring activities of the birds, the juncoes haven't left yet. Usually they're gone by now to wherever they summer, but they're maybe checking the weather at their destination and deciding to wait.
Cooking today was about that penne with cashew white sauce, which I'll bake on Monday, since we now know that's when Handsome Son is free to celebrate Easter.
Yesterday I tried another idea, to go with my roast potato dice and a ground turkey croquette. A date, lemon, onion relish. And it definitely worked.
I think this is worth doing again.
Last evening I treated myself to a new Beka rigid heddle, to continue my bandweaving backstrap style. This one is halfway in size between the tiny one I made and the medium one I wove a scarf on.
There was also a beautiful small one, lovely wood, good small size. However it's made in Lithuania and the shipping would treble the price, oh. So mine is coming from Minnesota instead.
Happy day everyone, e came through her surgery and is now convalescing at home, great news, and many vibes to her to regain her strength.
Long gone, and never forgotten, my feline textile assistants, or supervisors.
