Our late April picture is here.  Look no snow!  This was the first time we saw birds, we have heard them before but couldn't locate them.  Those robins are bold, and every where.  Amey was chasing them around the field trying to get a good picture.  There were other birds there too but I'm not sure what they were.  I thought they were starlings but someone said they could be red wing black birds that don't have their color yet.  I couldn't get close enough to see if them well.  The trees have the little nubby places where the leaves will grow.  I'm glad we went yesterday because it's raining today.

I finished the socks! I don't have a picture yet but they are finished, finally.  I also got another "tooth" on the Hitchhiker and worked on my husband's sleeves.  Today I'm going to work on the ice cream pillow today (remember that?) and then the sleeves again.

I listened to a lot of The Giving Flower yesterday. When I said Kimberly is most like me I meant in family size, age and income.  I like her sense of humor too.  She is way healthier than me and she doesn't use acrylic. I think I'm about half way through her episodes.  She just had her Kintpurlgurl episode.  I always hate when I get to those. Not that I think Knitpurlgurl was a a bad person but seeing the podcasters sad and struggling with the surprise of it all is so sad. I have to start thinking of a new podcast to watch.  I was thinking Knit One Heart Too or Yarnivore.  I need to get around to Knittin' on the Fly as well.

The thing I'm thinking about doing now, and am excited about, is setting aside Sunday for charity knitting (or crochet).  I've been looking for a charity that accepts hand made things and really serves poor people and I think I found it.  On Ravelry there is a group called Bundles of Joy that sends newborn items the an OB ward on Pine Ridge Reservation.  It seems that what the baby gets is what the OB ward can send home with them so there is always a need.  They also have links and addresses for bigger items for school children or the elderly.  I know people say that Sunday is suposed to be a day of rest but making these things is not work for me it's fun.  I'm really looking forward to this.  I think that's it for today.
