Too Short...

Gosh but the weekends go by way too fast! Today especially. Hubby left early today to get some work done, so the weekend felt even shorter. Seems like I could get a lot accomplished with the time to myself, but alas, I found myself just moping around the house. I tried to be productive: gathered some eggs, hung some apple sicks in the rabbit cages for them to chew, spun some fiber, knitted a bit, all the while avoiding the work that I "needed" to be doing. Does anyone else have the problem of avoiding the work you don't want to do, or is it just me?

The picture above is from the fiber I spun this weekend. Boy was it some amazing fiber! I couldn't believe how beautiful all the colors blended. I think I may have to request some more of this colorway. I also started to spin some alpaca fiber. I have a dream of becoming a 'fiber farmer' one day and owning my own fiber animals, especially sheep and alpaca. This fiber was so different from anything I had ever spun before. So silky and smooth that I could forget the fact that by the time I was done, I looked like a furry alpaca myself. I've only got about half of it spun. It will be exciting to ply and knit it.

I saw a robin this weekend singing its fool heart out up in a tree (and yes, I'm sure it was a robin). Though some would say that there are a few that winter over here, I will take it as a sign that spring is just around the corner. I need to believe that! It's not that I don't like winter. I really don't mind it. It's just that I am anxiously awaiting the day I can break ground for my very own garden! I can't wait to see what I can grow! Maybe I'll even have my own stand at a farmer's market this summer. It would be a great feeling to know that I can help supply someone else's meal. We'll see. One day at a time. It's always good to dream though.
