We were looking for our naturalized hyacinth, and our muscari, but they aren't up yet. I really need to plant some more bulbs in the fall.


I say that every fall but I don't actually do it!!!

I'm sorry that you have lost your knitting mojo. You are not alone. I have heard the same thing from a few of my Knit Night people. Maybe it is time to just re-arrange your stash. Maybe some yarn squishing and arranging will help stir some ideas.
I have spent some time in the basement trying to find summer yarns. I'm hoping I can find something there as I will need to pay for gas/petrol for the car since I will be driving in now once a week, so not as much money for yarn

You may be right, I shall try and summon up my stash rearranging and squishing mojo!! xxxx

Good afternoon all from a sunny but chilly London, 10'C here today! Had a couple of light snow flurries earlier but DH was out in it, getting his paper and didn't notice either of them, so they must have been very light indeed!!

Still a few more little chores to try and get behind today and then the day is my own. I have not been knitting for some months now, so I may try and pick that up this afternoon, although it will be without any mojo!!

Have a good one everybody, be good to yourselves and take care!! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Good morning from Port Hope Ontario Canada. It is 6:40 am EDT and -2'C (28'F). Wet snow forecast for today, but it will be light.
Yesterday started out very nice. The temperature rose to the double-digits c and we had sun around noon. But clouds returned in the afternoon with strong winds.
We found some snowdrops under the leaf litter at the back of the yard. We covered them back up with leaves against the cold today and will uncover them on Saturday.
The Science Table (a group of voluntary epidemiologists) have been "absorbed" into Public Health and will no longer be reporting independantly of the Ontario government. So no further information about the current wave of infections from 'son of omicron'. The province continues to say "everything is fine. The hospitals can handle the current infections." Now there is no way to confirm this and see if the infections are increasing, because the Ontario government no longer updates their website.
We had one squirrel who insisted on climbing up the shepherd's hooks to get to the bird feeders. The bird feeders were empty so not sure why the squirrel was climbing. Mum got her lube in a can and sprayed the pole. The squirrel tried climbing again and hit the grease and dropped to the ground. It only took once, after that the squirrel stayed on the ground and ate the seeds that we had put there for them.
Rather than picking up stitches on my LYS KAL cardi, I started something new. Its a tank made out of Patons Silk Bamboo. I found a bag with about a dozen of the balls in the basement. The tank will be a little warm and that yarn gets a little fuzzy with wear, but it should be nice for spring. (and fall).

Aww, beautiful snowdrops!!!

We are still getting some retro-summer days, and we are in Autumn, & all the changing weather is really playing havoc with Mint; but she is still quite bright and wants to play, whenever we head outside; the main thing that is affected is her willingness to eat ..... it is often very difficult when trying to get her to eat. She never has been food oriented, but it is much worse now! We just have to keep offering food, at odd times through the day! xoxoxo

I know you are doing all you can for poor Mint, I really feel for you all xxxx

Good luck on getting our odd jobs accomplished. Seems as soon as I do my little odd jobs more little jobs spring up and take their place. Sometimes I wonder why bother?


Well, of course, some times, I actually don't!!! xxxx

Canada is now allowing skilled trade workers to enter Canada without a job offer to find a job once they are here. ???
The government is trying to devalue skilled trade worker jobs because employers aren't willing to pay the rising costs of skilled trades (who are usually unionized and have set rates), and new immigrants will take any job just to get started.


The world seems to have gone a bit mad! 🥴🥴 Xxxx

Have a good one everybody, stay safe and happy and congratulations to Trish on the house sale!!! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hello from my still freezing part of the world tomorrow it is supposed to be 78F March is definitely a jokester, I did a lot of knitting yesterday and I also dug out my Tunisian crochet hooks, at least the ones I could find my favorite 2 have gone off somewhere together, and I worked up a little piece to decide which size to use my cousin is going to become a grandma so I am going to make two blankets up and when she knows what the bundle of joy will be I will have one ready!


That's lovely, hope you found all you need!! xxxx

Most of the companies here didn't care when I paid. They just tallied what I paid versus what I owed. The Municipality of Port Hope, on the other hand, can't handle payments except on their schedule and also can't handle partial payments, so I make sure I keep a float account so I can pay the water bill and the taxes all at once, when the notice comes in. So every paycheque, I transfer some money to that account and nothing comes out of that account except payments to the Municipality of Port Hope. I have my doubts that this situation will ever change as long as I am living in Port Hope.

It sounds like a good system!

We had someone loan us their power washer to blast the moss off the siding on the north side of the house under the birch tree. Unfortunately, we had the power turned up a little too high and the power wash removed the top layer of the siding, so now the mould grows on the siding all the time. We'll probably need someone to come in and properly remove the mould and reseal the siding.
Could you pick up the moss with one of those garbage collecting sticks so you don't have to bend down all the time, or does the moss stick to the turf.

The moss is quite easy to pick up but because we don't use the front door much (I know, it's brand new and beautiful but just easier to go out the back!) I don't realise it's there!! xxxx

Good morning from Port Hope Ontario Canada. It is 6:45 am EDT and -15'C (-5'F) going up to 1'C (34'F). We had snow flurries again yesterday, but nothing stuck.
We haven't seen ANY bunnies since the fox came through the yard. But Tippy and her daughter have been chasing all the squirrels out of the yard.
Knit Night was quiet last night. The owner of the LYS is isolating at home after her husband tested positive for covid after going maskless at the lounge at the curling club. I also saw him maskless in Canadian Tire on Sunday. The LYS will not be closed, but her staff will be running it this week. So far she has tested negative, but she does have a cough and sore throat.
I found out about a workaround that apparently everyone knew about, except me and couple of the phone operators in my department. At least now I can tell the people who talk to me, how to get around the problem. (And no, no one is currently working on fixing the problem)
I knit another inch on my LYS KAL cardi. I am so ready to do another project and I still have to pick up a gazillion stitches for the button band.

Stick with your LYS KAL cardi, you will be so happy when it's finished!! Sounds like the fox family had a really good dinner! It's nature, I suppose!
