Hello Creatures...
I know I haven't been updating since I've been out of town, its cause I couldn't remember my user name and password to log into my blog account...go figure...I rarely have to log into it, since it knows me on my own machine, so while I'm borrowing a machine, I had to remember what the log in was...and nothing was working...but after some assistance, I'm able to get on here again...rock and roll...
Boston is great, I'm actually in one of the many outlaying areas of Boston, not in the city itself...I've been up here only a few times, previously for work...its Spring up here, all the flowers are blooming, the azaleas are in full display, the cherry trees and open, tulips abound...I was lucky enough to watch 3 baby robins take their first flight from their nest on Thursday...it was all just a lucky accident, I woke up to their singing, and when I was watching them, the first one stood up, stretched and flew into the nearby branch...a few minutes later, the second one flew out...about an hour or two later, the littlest one, still with feathers askew on his head and quite scared took the leap...he wasn't strong enough to make it to the nearby tree, so he flutterd his wings and rested on the ground...the mom robin came over and fed him, and he ran into the woods for shelter...a hawk lives in the front yard, and was probably watching all this take place...I hope they all survive, but there's a reason nature makes 3 baby robins and not one...
The weather is in the 50's-60's, chilly for me...I'm wearing layers and even my poncho - inside the house! the locals think i'm a loon, but I don't want the heat turned on when its 60, good grief...I'm not acclimated to constant cool weather, and I see that it'll be in the mid to upper 90's when I get home next week...so I'm gonna enjoy this cool weather while I can, and not complain that my fingers are cold while typing...I stopped by the oven while dinner was cooking, and held my hands over it like a campfire...I'm usually the warm one in the room, its weird to be the cold one...
We've been having fun hitting yarn shops (two so far, found a groovy Jordana Page bag, a fair isle bag pattern and plenty of wool, plus some cool leather bag handles), and some cranberry bogs! That was neat...while they aren't harvesting right now, of course, its still cool to see where my juice comes from...I wonder if folks get excited when they see longhorns in the Texas countryside...cause we're used to seeing that all the time, of course...The squirrels are grey up here, and there are lots of thick wooded areas...the house i'm staying in is surrounded by woods on all sides, its like living with the Elves in Rivendell...I have some very protective four-legged buddies who keep me company and make sure I get to play with all their toys...i think they've brought me every toy they own at least once...
All in all, its a good time had by all...today we're staying in, knitting, watching movies, eating homemade waffles and cupcakes...i'm pretty sure they're gonna have to call the sheriff to haul me away on Tuesday, I'm not gonna wanna get on the plane...I'll be back Wed, ready to get back to work (maybe, heh) and update my site w/ new pics...sorry for leaving you with the troll bracelet, I'm sure you're bored to tears with it...I didn't bring my camera, like a dork, so I'll find something to entertain you when I get back...
rock on as always...
