A shadow and her cat

Stacey is having a contest!  Go visit and tell her what job you would like to have if education and money were of no significance.  I'm still thinking what job I would love.  There are a number of areas where I would like more experience  Crafting.  I suppose my ideal life would be to delve into all the crafts that I've only tested the waters, which is essentially all of them.  I would love to attend conferences and classes.  Maybe, once I gain some skill, I could teach and foster crafting.   Gardening.  I would love to spend a lot of time in my garden and develop a dyer's garden and expand my kitchen garden.  Writing.  I would love to work on my writing skills and expand on the little stories that roll around in my brain.  Music!  I would love to learn how to play my acoustic guitar.  Hmm.  I suppose I know what I'll be doing with my free time.  Not much of an answer for Stacey, though. 

The sun was shining for a few moments over Chez Purling Oaks late this afternoon.   We have signs of life in the gardens!  Well, the gardens that aren't still covered with snow, that is. 

On the left is the start of a tulip and on the right are crocii coming through the leaf debris under the lilacs. 

White Dot joined me on my stroll around the green parts of the yard and we did a little goofing around.

I also finished the wash cloth on Sunday.  Here it is, posing.

Such a cute kitty... isn't it fun to see those first bits of green coming up? Yippee!! I see a little slice of sun right now, too.

When you're not around, I'll bet White Dot walks around on 2 legs. I should check for signs of spring life in my yard this weekend. I'm going to check out Stacey's contest.

You could enter again and again. :D I love how your pictures look like you photoshopped them at first glance. Click big and see that's really the gray/brown of the cold earth. Gee...I've been living in CA too long. I forgot what that looked like.
