Spring is HERE!!!

I'm so ecstatic that the spring season is here. The temperatures are raising and the flowers are showing their brilliance of color. Everything is fresh and new. It's been a great opportunity to add to our Knotty Tree. (This is a tree in front of our home that has become a creation of bright, artistic whimsy. Jacob and I can't take all the credit. Much thanks to many of our "Knotty Neighbors") We're super excited to extend this through South Milford.

Here I am adding this fun spring garter stitch piece. This tree is next to the Bradford Pear tree and this is it's first bombing. Yarn Bombing is a non damaging for of graffiti. As for our neighborhood. It adds a little bit of color and lots of looks and smiles. If my trees brighten someone's day than it has served its purpose. 

Jacob is adding his first loomed piece here. A Thick & Quick wool/acrylic blend-super soft and fun to work with. Our tree is full of a variety of fibers. All the fiber is recycled; bits or scraps left over from many projects and thanks to many family and friends for scrap donations! 

Matches: Jacob's good old Parson's Jack Russell Terrier. This is before a major de-shedding. His winter cotton mohawk has since fallen out. He's a little grumpy due to arthritis and old age, however he's the sweetest old man. But here is enjoying the sun.

Una my giant baby. She's a blue doberman with a terrible coat. therefore she spends her days in cotton shirts. She's a clumsy horse of a dog with the gentlest spirit. She is certainly happy for the warmer temperatures because sunning herself is what she loves about spring and summer days.

Mogwai: Holden's Peke-Pom is our latest and youngest addition. She's just like having a live teddy-bear or a small cat. Holden and her are the best of friends and she has been the perfect pup for our odd-ball crew.

Spring has also stirred up Mother Nature's garden critters. Our resident garden snake Enid. She's out to sun herself. 

My husband, Jacob, picked up slack-lining as a form of physical fitness and simple fascination with funambulism. Once he has a curiosity for figuring something out...He WILL! ......He's gotten quite good at it. Here (about a week ago) his line is about 3'.....though right now his one inch line is about 6'2" from the ground.

And lastly what's a better way to start spring as a young boy.....but with the success of mastering a two wheel bicycle!!!! We couldn't be more proud!

Happy Spring Everybody!
