Over the past day and a half, we have had over 7 inches of rain. YIPES!? I now own lakefront property!? That is the good news. The bad My basement is part of the lake!? In the 15 years that we have owned our home (or rather, paid the bank a hefty amount to live here:)? we have had water in our basement 2 times. Now 3. It is only in extreme weather and this sure does qualify!? Anyone planning to build an ark Can we bring 2 of each skein of yarn on boardThe sump pumps are pumping, the husband is grumbling, the shower water is tepid. April showers my foot!?

Where shall we build the dock, honey

This picture was taken about 5 pm last night. Believe me when I say it has gotten worse. I may need a rowboat to get out to work today.

In actual knitting content, the transitions sock kit has been singing it's siren song since the moment I opened it. 2 days it sat. I'd say that I was being very brave in ignoring it. I had no intentions of starting yet another project!? Last night, I kept gazing over at it. And I thought, "Oh, I'll just roll up one of the hanks." You know, I just needed to get my hands on it. Feel the wool. I rolled. "Look at how beautiful the cranberry color is. I'll just roll that too."? Just to get the feel of the yarn, of course. ~You can see what's coming, can't you~? "Well, there is only one left. I may as well roll that one too!"? A search ensues for the size 3 needles that the pattern calls for. Found em!!? "Okay, I"ll just cast on. Just that. Then I"ll go back to the peace fleece sleeve."?

Ahem....

Well, what would YOU have done?

All of a sudden, I"m done the ribbing. What a pleasure it was too. The guilty little pleasure of doing something I wasn't supposed to be. It's like being a kid again.

Now, if you are going to hang around here, grab a pail and start bailing, will ya
