My yarn is organized! For my birthday my mom got me exactly what I asked for – stuff to put my yarn in! I took a couple pictures and thought I might post them for everyone to see as well as for her.

The rectangular basket on the left contains yarn that has already been used. The round container on the right contains unused yarn. Yes I know I have too much. I will get knitting very soon! The lighter colored rectangular basket contains my current projects…well the ones I could find, at least!

Thanks Mom!

So, though we’ve lived here for several years we’ve never visited Havenwoods State Forest before. That’s why we went today to take some pictures. When we arrived, the sky was bright but overcast. We knew rain was coming and hoped to get a nice nature walk in before it began. But we got soaked towards the end of the walk. It was enough to make us feel like little kids again! Here are some of the best shots from our visit.

What a strange year we’ve had weather-wise. So I decided to take some photos of the spring growth with the new camera I got for my birthday! Here are some of the best photos.

But since the brown grass is giving way to green grass and plants are starting to bud, I thought I’d take the opportunity to document some of the transformation. I had the perfect chance the other day when I was walking a dog. We passed a budding tree shortly after a light rain had stopped, so the green was vibrant and there were water droplets hanging. It was just such a perfectly spring sight.
