A Fritz Day Walk

 What better way to celebrate the man than being outdoors with family and fun.



We met along the Shenandoah River so I could share one of my favorite spring events in these parts: the Blue Belles.

We spotted other spring flowers, 


and interesting sights.



And boys, being boys...found some fun of their own. 

It's been three years since my beloved went to be with the Angels. I celebrate his life and his love for us everyday, but this particular anniversary was filled with extra smiles and extra comfort. Many thanks to all my family for sharing the day in their own ways with me. 

Love always finds a way.

Still Knitting

For the girls who turned four! this past Autumn. 

One sweater that twirls,


one based on a favorite book.




A few things for me,

The Knights who Knit: a mystery knit-along.
Cotton Linen blend. Was a fun project to work on. 

one can never have too many wool socks on these cold days. 

A summery linen shawl for what was to be an Italy trip. 
Maybe someday.


 A blanket for our newest grandchild Henry. {#11!},


 and the current work in progress



A soon to be cardigan. 

Handspun yarn from mighty Mac, one of my sheep. Loving how this is working up despite a lumpy, bumpy inconsistent spinning job. Maybe I will pretend I planned it that way? 

 

Take Care and Be Well,

Joan
