I’m counting down the hours and minutes until the chickens arrive. I don’t know when that will be, but I’m hoping today, in which case… anytime within the next two or three hours! Otherwise, it’s tomorrow morning. I really hope it’s not… because I want to see their little peeping heads! On the other hand, if it is tomorrow, I can not worry about how they’re holding up in their somewhat chilly brooder pool while I rush to the next town early this morning to fetch more lamps.

I’m feeling better about everything today! Hurrah.

For one, I got grandma’s gift done! But… I took it to show mom, and Grandma was there, and she asked if it was done… Well, Mom said “Yes, do you want it now?” and… that was that. So no pictures.

Yet. I will get them. *stealthily sneaks into Grandma’s house to get pictures of bag*

It is gorgeous, though a bit dirty. I didn’t even get a chance to wash it up. Oh well. It’s still pretty!

But I’m not gonna make one for mom. I’ve decided to do a couple (or just one) sachet out of her hank of yarn and stuff it with lavender. Something different. With a tight stitch pattern, it should be nice!

I’m now knitting a very bland knit-every-row square out of green merino wool on big size 11 needles. I’ll felt it up and make it into a potholder. Why? I don’t know. I needed something to knit while all the relatives were around that I didn’t have to worry about. Nice and easy. And dull.

But that’s the way she blows.
