Winter Tree in the Spring!

This tree does actually have leaves and flowers when it’s not winter :P. Pretty pink flowers. I wish my neighbor would quit feeding the deer with the corn she puts under the tree. We have deer running all over the place in town, makes it not safe to drive at night!! Time to cull the excess deer around here, it makes it safer for the people driving at night and stops diseases in the deer like the wasting disease for one.

Happy Easter 2026

He’s Risen!!

I love General Conference Weekend. General Conference is generally the 1st weekend in April and Oct every year. It’s listening to wonderful spiritual talks by our Prophet and Apostles and other leaders of our Church. The peace and council help ground us and remind us of how much our Heavenly Father and his Son Jesus Christ love us all. We are all brothers and sisters and knowing that helps in a chaotic world. We are here learning lessons of forgiving and serving others like our Savior did so that we can learn to be like him, not always an easy task, but necessary.

Hope you will join in listening to this General Conference. If you miss any of talks and want to go back and listen they will be on the Church’s website.  https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org  Saturday they are central time 11am to 1pm and 3pm to 5pm, the same times tomorrow (Sunday.)

Hope everyone has a Happy Easter as we think about the Savior.

FO (Finished Object for My Non Knitting Friends)

This is the pattern for the Messy Bun Hat I chose. I probably got it on Etsy, but I’m sure you can find it on Ravelry as well, I will probably choose a different one next time. It was easy to knit but not quite what I wanted, tho what I wanted would not have shown up well with the very dark chocolate brown (almost black) color. If I knit this again I would chose a 2X2 rib, so it would pull in a little more to be a little bit more snug around the head, (this is a 2X1 rib) and maybe go down a needle size on the head. the red kinda looks like fireflies, except instead of yellow their lights are red :P. Maybe re-dye this with a yellow tied off under the black or dark brown and call the color Fireflies. Sorry, you can’t see where the bun would come out because my mannequin’s head has no hair :P.
