Mama Mifflette's cousins arrived from the North. MM thinks I should bring them up to date with some new clothes. They'll have to wait until I'm back from a weekend trip away, but I DO have some ideas for them!

It's the end of February and my friends in the West are all gardening and enjoying spring blooms and buds. But my little neighborhood birds are still counting on me for their breakfast these snowy end of February days.

I'm trying to clean my workroom. Mama Mifflette discovered some clothes in the mess that were just her style. Here she models a robe that is soft and feminine. She IS a bit shy.

After laying out all my ingredients to make Stan Frankenthaler's apricot/nut/oatmeal chewy cookies, I got a request for a walk. On this sparkling, brilliant, bracing day, how could I refuse? It was nice knowing that everything was lined up for my return and all I had to do was mix and refrigerate.

Almost 30% done

Rebecca scarf with sleeves, about 30% completed. I am not hurrying this project as I don't have one in the queue and am thoroughly enjoying the sound of my own clicking needles. I have less eye on the finished project this time.

This is my first photo with Dexter Lukens Hooks, my fourth grandchild and third grandson. He looks a lot like Zachy did, but with more hair and less cheeks. He reminds me a lot of Ethan in looks and disposition.

It's so warm (or Z was so bored) that Zach took his shoes and socks off and waved his piggie-toes around from his Bugaboo.

Did you know that Whole Foods has a Kids Club? Before you do your shopping, your child can have a complementary piece of fruit or a fruit leather or even a COOKIE! Zachy chose one/cookie with icing that absolutely covered his face and sweater. (YES, I knit the sweater and hat)
