Rockin' Robin

There sure has been a spring theme to the blogs I follow, and I suppose this one is no different. I snapped a picture of this chubby robin through my window. I can't imagine that there are any worms left in the grass -- she's been plucking away out there for days. She's standing in a bed of sad-looking tulips that also seems to be a favorite place for one of our dogs to nap (thus the crushed tulips!).

This week is spring break for my kiddos, so they took a trip to the town we used to live in to visit old friends. They are heading back today, tired out, I'm sure. They have soccer and track practice for school, despite the break, and I am hoping that they will fulfill some service hour commitments, too. 

As for me, I have done some spring cleaning -- necessary stuff for this time of year. I took time out to make a really yummy cake to share with our neighbors (read: share the calories). Mostly, I have been working away on patterns galore, and there's plenty more waiting in the wings. When my brain gets tired from that, I've worked/ripped/reworked a little on my cardigan.

Here, the cardigan is resting. One sleeve to go... what will be next?!

Last week I worked the Kansas section of the Traveling Shawl, then sent it on to Oklahoma. I should have taken a picture... it will be lovely when it's done. You should check it out!

Hope you are having a good week!
