Emma and I have been doing some spectacular knitting-walking amongst the wildflowers recently. It’s been a bit windy lately . . .
but thoroughly lovely this April !
Thought you might like to take a walk with us . . .

Your photos are lovely lassie! Have you thought of a wee side line in photography? X
Chookie, you are too flattering ! I”m just so grateful to have your sweet faces (yours and Cuilean’s) peeking in to Yarnings !
Spectacular walk. Thanks for letting us tag along. xo
Well, come tag along everyday ! We’ll walk the back meado, then we stop at the cliffs for tea and knit some more ! (that rocky outcropping , is the precipice over a lovely canyon. (thats where Emma chased a coyote once).
I adore the picture of the windblown yarn. I’m amazed you don’t lose more of it in all this wind.
Windy as all heck ! You know, that wind howls in the stove pipe and wakes us up several times in the night !!!
Just lovely, Thank you!
🙂 xx
There’s still snow on the ground around here… Thank you for reminding me how pretty it’ll be in a few weeks! 🙂
I’d take the snow !!! I so miss it ! Predictably sunny weather can be so boring sometimes. I wish we could just have a snow storm, like everyone else ! 🙂
I wanna live where you live!
Thanks Kieran, but you must be properly educated then. The photos make it look so nice, but every walk I must face the elements : Winter & spring is tick season and I must pick off ticks crawling on us , (no kidding, *every time* I’m finding at least 5 on Emma and one on myself, looking for a place to sink in, and while they just nip me trying to, that little bite swells up and itches like crazy (like a spider bite) Emma gets tick stuff, but they still sink in to her . Summer and Autumn is sticker season, and I must spend time picking them off of my ankles, socks, and Emma’s furr. Spring, seems we have to constantly dodge skunks (I just keep Emma on a long 26′ retractible leash now, or she’ll get sprayed for sure, like the other day!) Also Spring through Autumn must watch out or we’ll rub up against poison oak & get an itchy rash. OH, and the mosquitos are out now… they’ll be pestering us until July!
Do you still want to come live here? 🙂 I haven’t even mentioned the mountain lion yet. Still, it’s all worth it in my humble opinion 🙂
Oh my, that’s pretty tick-y! I had a little Lymes disease scare a few years ago, so I try to avoid those critters at all cost! As for the mountain lion, I try to avoid those too! There have been sightings of them here, just outside of the city.
Still, your place is so pretty, green, and probably a lot warmer than here! I think I’m just a wee bit envious because it is still so cold and gloomy here. Ugh.

Cheer up Kieran hen, Sunshine is a coming ! 🙂
Hi Ben… glad you like the vistas 🙂
Thanks for the virtual walk…..it wash lovely…..and tickless!
Ha ha… right Anne … I present to you the mountain without anything itchy, scratchy, stinky or rash provoking ! 🙂
The colours are amazing – I see where your inspiration comes form.
This time of year Lizzi, the colors are remarkable. In one short month however, everything will be dried up…grass turning golden, and the wildflowers turning to burrs… you get the idea. This is the time of year for photos !
I loved this post and all the photos of your beautiful windswept Springtime fun.
Well hello Felicity, it’s wonderful to have you visiting and walking with us ! I’ll put the kettle on and bake a cake for the occasion ! 🙂
Beautiful, I miss the West, burrs, Rattlesnakes and all.
Hi Kay ~ Poison oak , mosquitos, scorpions, and mountain lions too ? 🙂
Hi Jen! Thank you for reading my blog & for leaving a comment! Your photos are beautiful! And they are even more enjoyable after reading about how you braved the perils of nature to take them! 🙂
Well thank you Vanessa, for saying so ! I will enjoy following your blog. 🙂
Bbbbeeeaauuuutttiffuuuuullll!!!!!!! It’s Nina by the way. Hiiiiiii!
Love, Niners
