1. We have had rain, to keep the pollen down some, but the days have been sunny for the most part.
2. We have room in our milk house again, and more as time progresses. Husband had barely enough room to have a narrow aisle, he now has maybe about a third of it cleaned out and sorted. And more to go! :)
3. And, bless him Husband is mowing my garden area. The raised beds are okay, but the paths around them are lawn grass. But they will soon become hay, if something isn't done. And... He's doing it. I am still debating on what/if I am doing with my garden (it will be small, or not at all), but I want to be able to find the garden area, either way!!
4. I finally am making a bit of time to write in my journal. Mostly a general catching up on the last few months, highly condensed. I hope to get where I can write more day to day things soon. But! It's a start...
5. The apple trees are smothered in blossoms. I think it's probably the most since we've lived here! Wondering how that will do for fruit.
6. The oaks are getting leaves again, it almost looks like green lace at the moment.
7. Ding has decided to "hunt" for me again. I have found 2 yarn balls she fetched, and one from a project she TRIED to fetch, but... It was still attached. I just adore when she does it, because she sings, and it's the only time she raises her voice.
8. I have much seed to look through for my garden, and access to more if I need it. This is riches to me!
9. Husband made me hangers for my circular needles, and I now have a majority of them up where they are readily available, and more easily accessible without my making a big tangle.
10. My avacado has 2 shoots coming up. I might have a tree yet! (In a few years, give or take).
Good week, stay thankful!

#5 that lacy greening up is my favourite week of the year and the good weather we have had this week has advanced it rapidly...
As a knitter you might be interested in my K post on A to Z which is on Knitting and Crochet https://how-would-you-know.com/a-to-z-challenge-2026-knitting-and-crochet-and-k-fabric/. Also, Monday and Tuesday will both be about wool...
I will have to check those out! Thank you!

Much thanks to your husband for mowing! After all, you are a bit overwhelmed right about now.
Sweet Ding, give her some scritches from me, please.
Keeping the paths between garden beds navigable is important! I nearly stepped on a rattlesnake one year. If I remember correctly, you aren't in an area where you have to worry about rattlers, but nevertheless being able to see where you're stepping is good.
The blossoms and the lacy period is definitely very beautiful, am a bit jealous as we got snow this morning...
I totally have weather/climate envy! Here in southern New England we're about 30 days behind in terms of weather. One reasonable day (say, 65 to 70 degrees daytime) six days in the 40's (below freezing nighttime).
now if the rain sticks around for the pollen season, I won't mind. (we're in a pine forest so having the pollen wash away would be good.)
wife is doing a small garden this year (the deer will have to fend for themselves) lol
have a good week
She likes scritches!! And a back scratch for Husband would not be amiss, either!

Thankfully, they are not common, but we do have them. One of the vets nearby, claim to fame is being the first to carry rattlesnake antidote in the area... But we have yellow jackets and ground animals that make dangerous holes!
Cat
Would love if we had snow on the mountain here...
Cat
We have everything yellow with pollen here, hopefully Husband gets through the season without too much eye trouble. Rain is WONDERFUL in that regard. I hope to have a garden, we'll see what happens...
