I thought spring was coming

But it is still too darn cold. There was a brief respite this weekend. I had a lovely time at the Cape with lovely oysters freshly harvested that day by my in-laws. O ! We ate and laughed and ate some more. But it was too short a visit. Hastened because neither Mark or I care to drive at night. But we did take turns and I got a bit of knitting in. There is nothing nicer than to be driven around while knitting. I bet that could be a new industry. "Attractive and pleasantly scented person needed to drive knitters through scenic and smooth roadways. Must have a calm aura, be literate and have the gift of silence while knitter is counting"

You know one of my favorite things is to knit and watch sports. And my girl K has brought the March Madness thing to a new level. Create your basketball bracket and contact K before noon tomorrow and you can be in her pool and possibly win some yarn !

How cool is that ! Every body in the pool !

I enjoy March Madness. I even have my own pool on ESPN- Boston Legal. Any body is able to join in, but there is a five dollar entry fee. I will front the money for any one who wants to play. And of course entries must be in by noon EST.


I got this meme from

Blogger has not accepted my pasted list, but I would not read Angels and Demonsns, there is precious little time to read all the good literature in the world and learn to knit two socks at once.
I am only thinking of reading the DaVinci Code out of curiosity. I own The Time Travelers Wife and The Hitchhiker's Guide but I haven't read either book yet.

I brought my Glorious finished Maxwell Jacket to the Cape for some High Fashion type model shots, you know running through the waves at Caloon Hollow, etc. But the weather was not entirely cooperative and I forgot the camera !
