I've started something new! I'd love your company on the journey. Please update your bookmarks. The feed for the new blog doesn't seem to be working. I'll try to get that fixed soon.
I took these pictures on the first day of Spring.
Nothing really special about this boxwood, except that underneath it I found
a thriving English ivy!
There are mounds of this shrub in the front garden. Looks like something in the rhododendron/azalea family?
Whatever it is, it is covered with buds.
And speaking of buds, these are on a tall shrub in the same garden. Any one know what it is?
I love the spent heads and the new buds shooting up.
Elsewhere, I found flowers on some vinca!
So pretty.
Doesn't this moss look like a forest of tiny trees?
And speaking of tiny trees, I have my very own wild bonsai.

Just kidding. Most of you won't have noticed that hiredhands.ca was offline for a few days. But now it is back. Actual content soon. I have been making eggs. Yes, eggs.
Before I began Minni I was busy with other things I haven't shown you yet.
The finished slippers and mittens plus accessories. These brightened up some dull days!
And there was a lot of purple knitting for someone's 20th birthday. Mwah! I love you!
(Couldn't forget the birthday girl's kitty, now could I?)
The pretty purple shawlette is, of course, Citron knit up in Trekking hand art (Provence 555). I think I used the specified needle size but only worked four sections before the ruffle and made the ruffle wider.
Most of the hearts were crocheted (really!) as was the mousie. You can't make it out in the picture, but the hearts in the garland are separated by silver bead cubes that spell out i-love-you (awww).
Pleasant purple dreams to you all.
