What I did on my Spring Break

Went for a walk with good friends.Explored hollow logs.

Found interesting tree formations.

Went knitting at a friends house.

Explored the local aquarium. Great Lakes Aquarium in Duluth, MN
Saw divers feed the fish in the tank.
Tried to get a good picture of the river otter.
Looked at beautiful art inside.

Played in the tree house.

Got a little obsessed with the boats showing how locks work.

Learned about huge dinosaur fish.

Watched a ship go through the canal.


Welcomed back some old friends.

Just In Time For Spring

Finally a finished object. This sweater was finished a little while ago and has had frequent wearing already. I love the warm cosy feel of this knit and it keeps the chill off in those early spring days of Minnesota.
I used about 11 skeins of Lambs Pride Bulky yarn in Silver Grey. The pattern is from Rebecca Magazine number 30 I believe. Easy pattern to memorize and great result. I think I would plan more button holes for another one as there is one button at the throat of the sweater. It would be nice to be able to close it up a little more but all in all it is a great sweater.

The parting shot:)

Since we finally have nice weather, Saturday night we played a game of Bocce ball in the yard.

Watched the chickens in their new run.

Played with the poor neglected cat.

Admired spring.

And raked weeds out of the new raised bed gardens.

I love Spring.
