"I started photographing my domestic world and writing not just about what I had made,
but why I made it, examining the thoughts that accompany creativity and the act of making."

In Between April Showers

My granddaughters[ages 7 and 5] and I went for a walk around the ponds and they helped me take some photos.

We saw some blossoms .... their names unknown to us

...we haven't looked for their names yet... [do you know them?],

and blossoms we recognized as wild cherries

some from the enormous wild cherry tree near our house

and some lambs ear [I planted a start from my friend Paula's house in San Jose, CA]

Then on Saturday all four grand girls went hunting for eggs :)

I got some tulips from the grocery store.

And this morning I sewed in the ends on another baby hat I knit.

I consulted my blog friend, Willow, about the pattern she gave me.  This time I did the ribbing in twos and then switched to larger dpn to finish the rest of the hat, and it looks more like it is supposed to look, I think...progress!

What have you been doing between April showers?
