Cold, blustery day.

It's a cold winter day in Texas. Some areas are getting freezing drizzle and we are forecast to get some tonight. I am in by the fire, so thought I would try to get in a blog entry. This is the sort of day that makes you dream of spring and start planning the garden.

This is a photo of a large frog or toad who lived in a pot on the patio last summer. I'll bet he or she is hibernating somewhere and will be back in the spring. Often they dig down in the dirt of a pot and live there all winter.

Bluebonnets and Knitting in January.

I haven't done too well with my resolution to blog more and take more photos but I plan to do better. Today I got outside and did some things in the yard and that made me think about Spring. I have included a photo I took of Bluebonnets sprouting in our pasture. If we get some decent rains they will really start growing. On the opposite end of things, I know winter is just getting started so I have been knitting. The photo is of a scarf I am knitting on really big needles so it goes very fast. I used 2 different kinds of yarn I had on hand and it is looking very pretty. Easy, easy!

Happy 2009!

Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and let's all hope for a happy, healthy and promising New Year. I have several resolutions for 2009. My blog resolution is to post more often and take more photos. Stay tuned.
