\"The<\/a>I really don’t know how it happened. I’ve been doing so well. I even managed with the zine work to actually clean the upstairs bathroom, do the floors, and pick up and organize another big chunk of my fiber stash. I’ve also started the sleeves on my sweater and spun up a spool of singles (next is plying and picture will follow).<\/p>\n

Today, we headed out to my favorite yarn store, The Yarn Garden<\/a>, in Annapolis, MD. They have a sale every year with fantastic prices and door prizes. Unfortunately, today was the last day of the sale and while there was still a lot of wonderful yarn — I took a pass. Having just partially organized my stash of yarn and fiber, I just couldn’t find anything that I need just now since I have so many partial projects going. So, I touched and dreamed and walked away — it was so hard to leave without buying anything at all, not even the yarn that I fondled and priced and dithered over. Sigh. Such is the decisions of life.<\/p>\n

Next, we stopped in to Homestead Gardens<\/a>. Homestead is just a beautiful oasis of spring. They had some small areas of landscaping that were so peaceful and calm. We wandered through the displays, picked up some vegetable seeds, some seedling pots, and a few herb plants. We have a perennial herb garden to the side of the house and have been adding to it each year. But the annuals we either have to start from seed ourselves or buy as plants. I tried to winter over my scented geraniums this past winter and lost 4 of the 5. At least the lemon grass made it through the winter.<\/p>\n

Tomorrow we plan to get outside and make a big start on clearing out the garden area to get ready to turn the soil and ready it all for the spring planting in a few more weeks. That’s where the problem starts with the missing spoons (see earlier spoon post<\/a>), I have been so lucky all week and today started strong but somewhere between Homestead and home I seem to have used up all but one and I need that one to finish this and get to bed.<\/p>\n

I’m reading Charlaine Harris’s Three Bedrooms, One Corpse<\/a> so I think I’ll just go curl up and hope that tomorrow brings me enough spoons to get a start on some of my grand plans for spring cleaning.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
