It's February 1st...FEBRUARY FIRST, PEOPLE!!!...and it's suppose to get up to 54 degrees (Fahrenheit) today!!!! O_O If this was southern California I'd say: "Okay!", but it's gonna get up to 54 degrees...in Massachusetts...in February!!
Let's be honest, how many of you New Englanders, or north coasters, were expecting Spring in Massachusetts...in February?! O_O ...I'm confused now. Do I continue making hats because....because...we just might get winter after all...eventually?!...Or do I move on to the crochet jewelry, toilet tissue covers, and pocketbooks of Spring?!...SPRING!
I have to decide because I'm all done with my latest hat and I'm just working on a replacement headband, and then I have to get another project going!...*sigh*...Well, I can show you the hat anyway!...
Yep! A white one!
So soft too!
I agonized over which button to put on it...Can't you see the sweat on my brow?! ^_^ I couldn't decide whether to choose one with color, or to stay with the white theme. But I finally decided...
I decided to stick close to the white color. After all....it's Spring!....sorta kinda. O_0 It's time for sunshine and warmer temperatures, daffodils and butterflies!....Not the time for snow (alias "the white stuff") and shovels, heavy soups and donuts with coffee......Well, let me re-think that last statement.....Hmmmm.....I need a visual...
Doughnut Madness!!!! :-) ... Okay! I threw you a little bit of a curve ball. Maybe it "is" time for some doughnuts!! At least Aron and Ashley, from the blog Hither & Thither, think so!! :-) And they're New Yorkers...north easterners! :-)
They're enjoying the nice weather, but they're not rushing the seasons. They're enjoying the doughnut madness!...so why can't I!! ^_^ ...So let's keep the doughnut option on the table, Okay?!...and the coffee too...just saying! I mean...just because it's Spring...sorta kinda....that doesn't mean we have to get all tofu and celery stalks around here!....Not all the time anyway! ^_^
Quick Updates: 1. Our car is still not functioning. :-( Although hubby thinks he knows what's wrong with it now....a blocked fuel filter. It's gonna have to be replaced this weekend;...
2. Also, hubby has had a job change...of sorts. He changed routes. He used to have a route out of state. As of this week he'll be MUCH closer to home! :-) He'll be able to pop home during the day. Isn't that great!!!...
His reasoning may not be all that great though. He's been worried about me. My health is not getting any better. Physically I'm showing signs of wear and tear...like an old roof on a hundred year old barn! LOL So, just in case I need him, he's switched routes so he can be here quickly if I need him.
Considering the economy, I was a little worried about him making the move. His previous route was one that nobody else wanted to do! In fact, the new guy he showed it to...was flabbergasted that he had done it for as long as he did! And he was feeling overwhelmed that now it was gonna be his responsibility!! O_O
So hubby was kinda NEEDED on the other route! Now it'll be different. Anyone can do this route without a problem...We're not gonna worry about it. Some things have to be put in the hands of the one who can do something about it! So we're keeping our trust in Jehovah. We know that, if push comes to shove, he can handle it! :-)

Have a good, ♫ "Fine" ♫ and musical day everybody!! :-) {The poem below is one I wrote while I was awaiting Spring last year...after a hard previous snowy winter. YOU remember, right?! ^_^}
Spring!
I barely can wait for Spring.
With winter I've just had enough!
The ice on the sidewalks,
and snow in the yard,
have been so depressing and rough.
I usually don't wait for the Spring.
I'm not a real fan of the bees.
My eyes fill with water,
and nose fills with pollen,
and my only pastime is a sneeze.
But this year I can't wait for the Spring!
I await how my nose has to blow.
My glee I can't hide.
I've been cooped up inside,
Emotionally tackled by snow!
