The Dogwoods are Blooming in the Ozarks!
What a beautiful time of year. Today the temperatures hit 80 degrees, and the dogwoods and redbuds are in full bloom.
I am at home enjoying the weather, after two days of nearly non-stop work. Just sitting on the patio, drinking a beer and eating some tortilla chips. (yum) No, it's not the healthiest thing, but I figure I deserve it!
Several of the Project Spectrum yarn swappers have asked me if they need to sign up for next month's swap. The general sentiment of the people who have emailed me is that they want to be in every month's swap. So, if you are currently signed up and do not want to participate in May's swap - leave a comment or email me and let me know.
Otherwise, if you aren't signed up for May and want to be, email me by APRIL 25. For all the info on the swap, click here.
I had a "layover" in Bolivar MO for a couple of hours today (waiting between my court appearances) and I had a chance to knit on Orangina - I made up my progress that I had to rip out last weekend. Yippee!

I am not going to participate in the May sock yarn swap because I'm going to be away and don't think I'll have time to do it. I'll check back in for June.

Hey Zarah! Beautiful flower in your post. Your growing season is further along, as the dogwoods have not started here yet. Can't wait to see them, though. So lovely!
It is so great seeing the yarn dyeing on the blogs! I will let you know by the 25th if I can do it... I am so tempted!

Gorgeous flower! We have tons of dogwoods in VA, but I never get tired of admiring them. Maybe I need to take a day off to smell the flowers and stare at the trees...

Gorgeous. And good for you getting in some relaxing time.

I love the dogwoods! We didn't have them in San Diego so I'm enjoying them for the first time. I'm seriously considering planting one in my backyard.
So are you up for a stuffing & seaming party? Perhaps you can drag bring Matt along and the guys can hang out, too. Would Friday night work for you or would Saturday be better?

I love dogwoods.
I'm debating yarn dyeing. It is appealing but I'm still scared of double pointed needles and socks. Maybe this would be a good way to conquer my fear.

What a gorgeous flower! Hey, beautiful spring weather, beer and tortilla chips - what more could a girl ask for?
