I think these latest thick hiking socks for DH are really ugly but a) I wanted to use up all the Cormo I had so I had to do two-tone, b) they won't look two-tone when he wears his hiking boots and c) DH likes them. Boy doing 9" of K2P2 ribbing for each sock is certainly fun. Not.

Spring has sprung. This photo shows the buds on the lilac bush.

Blogging may be sporadic this week as we will have visitors. I will have to keep an eye on the brown large-eared one to make sure she doesn't use this excuse to beg for extra food.
