Mah computer's sick!

Or maybe it's a cable. Anyway, it's not talking to the internet right now and had to go to the shop since I wouldn't even know where to start on fixing it. That means I'm writing this on the kids' computer and can't get the picture of my latest finished project from Flickr to Blogger. It's a knitted lace scarf of handspun wool/silk fiber in a couple shades of green. I made it as a "thank-you" for the mother of a classmate of Littlest Kidlet who has been bringing the elementary kids home when it was so cold. This was particularly kind since it involves going a little out of her way each time and I wanted to give her something nice to show my appreciation.

Shadow?

Well, it was sunny here when I woke up. I don't know if Missouri has an official groundhog but I read on I-can't-remember-which-blog that the results for the country was no shadow.

For some reason my attempts to cut/paste the url for this picture are failing. I found it at Bing but the origin is blamcast.net

Poor birdy

Speaking of birds, we have a large, five pane, bay window that faces our backyard and a sort of greenbelt area. This morning there was a very loud "bang" and I knew that some poor bird had flown into the window glass, which wouldn't be the first time. What was a first was the little ring of white feathers sticking to the glass from the poor thing's impact. I looked and didn't see any birds on the ground, much to the cat's disappointment, so hopefully it will be okay.
