Unpacking

Look at the gift that awaited us when we arrived home.  There are tons of these gorgeous apple blossoms on our little tree.  The weather wasn't rainy while we were away - and still isn't - so the bees will have a chance to spread the pollen around.  I can hardly wait to see if we get any apples this year.

This funky birdhouse needed a new home...thanks, Deb!  We're always happy to take in strays.  The ladder is out and the drill is charged up.  I wonder if the birds will be impressed with the decorating style?

And, of course, there was some yarn tucked into a corner of the suitcase.  I seemed to have concentrated on sock yarn...is anyone suprised at that?  There are a couple of different cottons because I don't have enough cotton socks, apparently. And some bamboo which is a lovely silvery blue. 

And this gorgeous wool from Fleece Artist.  Aren't they great colors?  If you know the Nova Scotia tartan, you can see why this colorway is named 'Nova Scotia" .  Of course, any sock yarn can be re-purposed - scarves, shawl, mitts?

I'd better get clicking though, that stash mountain is not getting any smaller.
