The sound of water dripping from meting snow? Yes, spring is here!!! It came so suddenly that I never saw it coming. And now it's here. And I'm happy.<div>See the crocuses?? Proof!! Proof of spring!!! And my tulips were growing beneath the snow. I'm always amazed that plants know when spring has arrived and grow under snow. <br /><br />Miss coconut started daycare last week, and along with my broken heart, this has resulted in a cold and a stomach virus. I've never seen so much vomit. Ever. Out her nose, everywhere. 4 hours straight, non stop. It was an experience. She's adapted fairly well to daycare but is nursing like crazy at home, so I suspect she's dealing with attachment issues. As I am. I feel terrible every time I leave her there. And I hate putting her in paper diapers instead of cloth. But the daycare doesn't do cloth diapers. <div><br /></div><div>But here she is, on a glorious spring day, getting the hang of walking outside (weird how she walks better inside than outside). <br /><br /><br /><br /></div><object width="320" height="266" class="BLOG_video_class" id="BLOG_video-2c71edeb87b23466" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="movie" value="http://www.blogger.com/img/videoplayer.swf?videoUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fvp.video.google.com%2Fvideodownload%3Fversion%3D0%26secureurl%3DqgAAAO3T1daHheEeH3ZcEQIwEb_EwhhP-U5xW7-qw-GgDKuj3XNY5iSY2ImISAqeTDo-lbNrhEvNQz1iEneQjorQLZRUEi7f7v6rmarqiQOSlMxyJ7xhQjQvHg_NCPjU6MrcZ5XJmk9ZpUkQWcyuF5WH1BQzqsq449D_JP9IE9ktdtDB22hkiN3r-ZyXpndMk8q_v5w-hwTDI1tS2r89LSwIAA0bs1iUKcwevkj98SV_BUxA%26sigh%3DbQyGqBgne1-UQWBiS0GEes3HK-I%26begin%3D0%26len%3D86400000%26docid%3D0&nogvlm=1&thumbnailUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fvideo.google.com%2FThumbnailServer2%3Fapp%3Dblogger%26contentid%3D2c71edeb87b23466%26offsetms%3D5000%26itag%3Dw320%26sigh%3D3TB7MWeMMsGADrWLUPSgZUzfrhQ&messagesUrl=video.google.com%2FFlashUiStrings.xlb%3Fframe%3Dflashstrings%26hl%3Den"><param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF"><embed width="320" height="266" src="http://www.blogger.com/img/videoplayer.swf?videoUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fvp.video.google.com%2Fvideodownload%3Fversion%3D0%26secureurl%3DqgAAAO3T1daHheEeH3ZcEQIwEb_EwhhP-U5xW7-qw-GgDKuj3XNY5iSY2ImISAqeTDo-lbNrhEvNQz1iEneQjorQLZRUEi7f7v6rmarqiQOSlMxyJ7xhQjQvHg_NCPjU6MrcZ5XJmk9ZpUkQWcyuF5WH1BQzqsq449D_JP9IE9ktdtDB22hkiN3r-ZyXpndMk8q_v5w-hwTDI1tS2r89LSwIAA0bs1iUKcwevkj98SV_BUxA%26sigh%3DbQyGqBgne1-UQWBiS0GEes3HK-I%26begin%3D0%26len%3D86400000%26docid%3D0&nogvlm=1&thumbnailUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fvideo.google.com%2FThumbnailServer2%3Fapp%3Dblogger%26contentid%3D2c71edeb87b23466%26offsetms%3D5000%26itag%3Dw320%26sigh%3D3TB7MWeMMsGADrWLUPSgZUzfrhQ&messagesUrl=video.google.com%2FFlashUiStrings.xlb%3Fframe%3Dflashstrings%26hl%3Den" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"></embed></object></div><br />And for some spring inspired knitting: market shawl. I like the easy pattern and love the Noro Cashmere Island yarn. Shades of fuschia, teal, black and navy. Yum. This was my "before knitting a Clapotis" project. <br /><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_oNIYKUK3EEM/SAFP3JnH3-I/AAAAAAAAAEE/aa6LV-Lw5n8/s320/IMG_7315_2.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5188516054598934498" />dafeisthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00022164888602407808noreply@blogger.com
