Fun Hats

Fun hats knit up faster.  

There.  I said it.  Fun hats knit up faster, especially when watching the Olympics. 

No, I am not going to boycott the Olympics just because of a few bad apples in the bunch.  There are plenty more athletes there who love this country and are proud to represent the USA.  They deserve our support.  Stop constantly focusing on the negative and look for the good in people.  

In other news, I'm sure you will all be pleased to know that I broke up and put away my jigsaw puzzle.  Then I got all of my other puzzles out of the closet to decide which one to do next.  

I decided to start with the one with the fewest pieces, which is this one. 

The thing that makes this one so interesting is that all of the pieces are so irregular in shape.  It will be a challenge for sure, but it's not a race.  I'm not in any big hurry to get it done.  

And finally, I didn't get my raised garden beds water sealed today.  I'm not too worried about that, though.  It'll be mid- April before I can plant anything outdoors anyway.  I might start some seeds indoors at the beginning of March, but won't be able to put them out until after the chance of a late frost has passed.  

I want to grow my own stevia this year, but it looks like I'm going to have to order seeds for that.  Walmart doesn't have any, and didn't have any last year either.  Maybe next weekend I can drive up to Lowe's and see if they have some.  I don't remember if they did last year, but I'm always up for a trip to visit the Mounds.  

Weekend after that is Fiber Fun In The 'Sip, and Leann is vending again this year!  Woo hoo!  I didn't get to go to the one in Oxford last month because, well, we were buried in ice.  That seems to happen a lot with that one.  I guess that's what you get when you schedule events in January.  

It's a crap shoot.  Could be 80°.  Could be 0°.  

You never know.
