Malabrigo March?
Gratitude turns what we have into enough. ~ Aesop I love Malabrigo March. This year I've had a hard time finding my knitting mojo in relation to Malabrigo March.

Groundhog Day 2020
"I'm not going to live by their rules anymore." ~ Phil Connors, Groundhog Day What, was that Sunday or am I reliving the same day over and over again? Hmmmm.

Snow Day?
Silently, like thoughts that come and go, the snowflakes fall, each one a gem. ~William Hamilton Gibson A week has passed, and all the snow around my neighborhood is gone.
