The Turtle Moves: Wot, no fish?

Wot, no fish?

There I was at the kitchen sink yesterday morning, when I looked up and saw - a very disgruntled looking heron on the neighbour's roof! This was the sixth day of deep snow and frozen lochs and rivers, so I guess the old chap was trying his luck with suburban garden ponds.

He does look fed up - and I'm sure he's thinking I should have put some fish and frogs out on the bird table!

The picture's a bit grainy, because it was a very grey day and I was shooting through the window, but it is nice to have something unexpected in the file marked 'garden birds'!

Still, it's beginning to thaw today and I managed to get a decent sized shopping done, so the larder's all stocked up again for the next snowfall.

Sophie's Universe - TaDa! Yay! Sophie's Universe blanket in all her glory. What on earth am I going to do now? I was quite tempted to get more yarn and just keep on extending the border, but I thought I might ruin the proportions of the patterns. She's quite spectacular though, isn't she? I have enjoyed making her and have learned a few new stitches along the way. I guess I'm going to have to go back to making little critturs and Star Wars peeps, though I'm toying with the idea of socks. I don't know how comfy crocheted socks would be, but it's...

Oh spring, where are you? It's supposed to be spring, for goodness sake - the clocks have 'sprung forward' and everything. Yet here we are with sleet and snow all the beginning of this week. Still, yesterday afternoon there was a lovely pink glow on the hill opposite so I nipped out and took a picture. Do you think that red field at night could possibly mean shepherd's delight?
