Skand, so glad you're back! Good luck with those wild birds - don't get pecked. or flogged. or whatever peafowl do when they are ticked off!
I hope everyone gets to feeling better soon - it's easy to get the blah's when the weather's yucky. And like others have said, being preggers doesn't help with that any at all!
After our snow last Monday, and 80+ degrees through Wednesday this week, it's back to 40's today with a cold rain to boot. Our jonquils and daffodils are blooming, and the poplar trees are starting to drop pollen, so I can't tell if my scratchy eyes and runny nose are due to the weather or allergies. Probably a little of both.
Update: our crochet club at school seems to be taking off! We have had anywhere from 12 - 20 kids to stay after school for the every-other-week meetings. This week, I introduced them to amigurumi. Our Hmong girls fell in love with it, and all of them started working on a chick! This is going to be so much fun!!
