MIA for the past 10 months or so

So I have not blogged much for some time now... The worst part was I have not stitched much ether. I did get to some knitting this winter. I spent over a month with my parents to care for my mother.

Oh, I did do a lot of reading!

In the past 6 or 7 months I found a bunch of nice cheap books from e-bay and amazon books to add to all my other books! I got some books for my kids and myself. I even found two books on cross-stitch and one on quilts.

Here are most of my e-bay and amazon books. Wow! Looks like a lot when in a photo!

I have picked up my stitching a little in the past few weeks. I hope to do more this spring!

Spring in northern MN

Its spring time here in the north west of MN. Were we get floods from snow melt and rain. Were one day it is water and sun and the next snowing and ice. I live not far from the Red River of the north. The same river that gets in the news this time of year... that floods Fargo and Grand Forks ND. The thing about spring here is, we may have some snow melting going on right now (yes we still HAVE snow from this past winter to melt). But we can and do still get snow storms up into April and even May. We could even still get a blizzard this time of year! We had a very bad blizzard in 1996 in April.

Well here are a few pics from my yard and down the road of our snow and water we took this weekend. The water was up higher last week but I never got any photos then.

Hope your spring is going well!
