The New Recruits

Today is picture day. We begin with the new canine addition, which is fitting, because he is about 11 weeks older than Lily. Teejay is a real character and his pal Trixie is bringing him along nicely.

He is now 12 weeks old and a real pistol. I took this photo yesterday, as I was sitting on the glider on the studio porch. It is a peaceful place and one where the dogs like to hang out, but unfortunately, Teejay has no problem with marching through the plants like a bull in a china shop. I love him so much that I can forgive his goofy behavior.

 

Our new grandbaby is Lily Olivia and she is a real peach, in every way. This is the morning after her birth, when her hair was washed and her face had begun to look a little less like that of a prize-fighter.

Her siblings are in love with her and have been extra sweet with kisses.

We love her to pieces and welcome her to the world.

 

So, in honor of Lily, I created a couple of colorways. The first one is called Lily O Lily.

The second one is Cherry Blossom.

I love this new fiber colorway, that I call BellyBeans. This is done in Superfine Merino.

 

Here it is spun and plied. It just makes me happy.

 

Not much prose, this time. Just new life and happy times, to replace the pain and sorrow. To my dad, I say...I have always loved you and have missed you for a very long time. I hope that you find peace and happiness on the Other Side and if you have the chance to come back again, this time, I hope that the new life will be full of joy.
