To start things off, here are some new leaves actively growing. These are my paperwhites. I love paperwhites (okay any kind of indoor forcing bulb really). They'll grow in this vase with just the water I add to the rocks until the leaves are about 18" tall, then they sprout a stem that have what look like lttle tiny daffodil flowers. They smell wonderful & last for ages.
Next pic is of one of my current projects, a sweater vest. It's cool & done with diagonal lines of stitiching. Yarn is hand dyed baby loop mohair from Cherry Tree Hill. I think this is one of their "potluck" colors so I'll be totally unique. Here's the detail shot - gosh this yarn is soft!
Now, back to leafy goodness & leafy humor. This morning, DH spent about 2 hours blowing fallen leaves into piles & then moving them into the street where the giant vacumn truck (the suckolux monster, as named by my cats) will suck them up & take them to be composted.
Shortly after he did all this, the wind came up & the rain came down. All the leaves stayed in their street pile, but look what the front tree did:
You cannot even tell he did all that work this morning! It will have to be done again before the suckolux monster comes on Tuesday! Heck, you can't even tell that the roof of the house is dark green.
