one season ends and another begins

I wish I could say that winter is the season ending and spring starting, but instead in Oregon the rain marches on and we skip from basketball to baseball season. Here are a couple of pictures from E's last game. Tall House, Double Cup coached his team again this year and gave out hefty medals to the whole team. I was so impressed the way THDC had something perfect to say about each player's contribution to the team. All of the parents beamed, especially me.

Two videos of sweet Ems.

new knitting

I hadn't knit myself anything in years - everything I was making was for the kidlets or gifts. But the combination of color, a deconstructed cowl, and the interesting front panel had me running to the yarn store. I'm pretty happy with this project - though I am not much of a vest person. For this green love, I can work a vest once in awhile.

a little Oregon tourism

We hadn't been to Multnomah Falls in years so we headed out last weekend for a little fresh air and misty mist. Ev and I tried to hike to the top of the falls but made it only halfway. Ems was a little impatient waiting for us and my pretty but ineffectual maryjanes weren't up for it. I promised a repeat hike.

We heard at least four different languages spoken - such a gathering point for Oregonians and tourist.
