LasT Day of MaY

Once again, May has slipped away as fast as April. I became ill on Mother's day--thought I had food poisoning--turned out I have cellulitis--I was in the hospital for 12 days and now I am on home IV therapy and an oral antibiotic that is going to break the bank! Felt so bad that I didn't even want them to bring my knitting/crochet to the hospital. I have been home a few days so hopefully I will start to feel like being more productive.

I Missed April

No, it wasn't that I have been so busy and accomplished so much that I did not post in April--I just don't know where the time went to.

Spring did come finally, although it is only 48 degrees at the moment. Of course since the tree was blooming so beautifully, it has been raining and all the blooms are almost gone.

I don't have a redbud, but I get to enjoy the neighbor's--the redbuds have been especially beautiful this year.

I also know it is spring because Jasmine has had her spring hair cut--doesn't she look cute.

I hope you can tell from this picture that the afghan has grown--yes, very slowly, but it is coming along--probably 2/3's done.

I have started a crocheted afghan called Gingham Garden--couldn't figure out the flower square that went with the pattern (just when I think I know what I am doing!) so I am trying to decide on a flower pattern to go with the gingham strip--anyone have any opinions? (The green is much prettier than pictured--although I might have chose a different green, but I am using up stash.
