Spring?

 I think it may have finally arrived...

We've had some rain today...

So everything is looking very green...

I've been working on Hazel's Christmas blanket, and doing the border rows now...

And I recently went to the Latrobe Truly Tasmanian Craft Fair and bought some lovely hand dyed variegated merino wool...

I found this pattern I've knitted before and made a start

It's coming along nicely...

And I'm also re reading Winter Solstice, a book I enjoyed many years ago

A short devotional I read recently...

Looking for Blessings

Do we take the blessings that the common days bring to us?  Do we extract the honey from every flower that grows by our path?  Do not angels come to us unawares in homely or unattractive disguises, walk with us, talk with us, and then only become known to us when they have flown away - when their places are empty?  Shall we not learn to see the goodness and the beauty in the gifts that God sends to us?  Their very commonness veils their blessedness.  Let us seek for the good in everything.  Then, though we see it not, let us never doubt that it lies hidden in every gift from God to us.  Every moment brings us some benediction.  Even the rough hand of trial holds in its clasp for us some treasure.

(from In Green Pastures by J R Miller)

I hope to be back sooner rather than later :)

Have a blessed week...
