Scenes from a Spring Lunch

Becky hosted a springtime get together for our group. Everyone brought a "snack" to share, which made for a beautiful lunch. Or brunch. Or really big snack.

The entryway garden

I couldn't resist the roses. There were lilacs, too. And a fountain out back. And views everywhere!

Karen's Bright Blanket Finished

This blanket appeared on the blog when it was being made. Here it is, completed.

The Baby Owls Leave

This is the second year that a great horned owl has hatched a family at the church. This year we were able to say goodbye to the last two of the three surviving babies. 

They sat resting on the planter at the Griggs Street entrance. 

I didn't get closer than this, as I didn't want to disturb them. By the next day they were gone--off to live their grown-up owl lives.

Becky's Adventure in Yellowstone

These photos are late in showing up here on the blog, which is entirely my fault! I get the posts all scheduled for as much as a month ahead, then everything else has to wait in a queue.

Becky went to Yellowstone National Park in the dead of winter. She loved it and wanted to share these photos showing how they got around in the back country to view the wildlife.

Greetings from Helen

The Sierras on the way to Virginia City

I got an email from Helen a while back and am passing on a few comments from her:

I am going for at least an hour walk everyday. There are plenty of places to walk here. I especially enjoy going along the river which has more water in it than the Rio Grande. I do miss those bike rides, though, with all the birds one could see.

I am in touch with Jean L. and plan to call her tomorrow. 

Our daughter has moved to Austin and so far they love it there.

 

Say hello to everyone at knitting. I will attach a couple of pictures.

Goodbye, Hardy, Honorary Knitter

Hardy has retired as Rita's guide dog and has gone up to Albuquerque to live with his new family. I think he was feeling pretty emotional that last day when he came to the Knitting/Crocheting/Sewing group. He just wouldn't look into the camera for me. 

Goodbye, good Hardy. We'll miss you!
