Frost on the pumpkin

 Wait, what? That cannot be correct. 

Oh, but it sort of is. 

May 1 and I woke up to a hard frost. 

Yuck. 

Also, I'm SO glad that I kept my pepper plants in the house last night. 



The morning sun was bright and gorgeous. It does not look like it was below 32 degrees F out there. 


It was my first time seeing how the back yard looked after my son spent some time cleaning up the pine cones, leaves, etc., last night.

Wow! 

Now it feels like spring out there! I could see the green grass.


The girls were already demanding to be let loose.  Nope, it was too early. 


I made my way over to the greenhouse. 

Things were looking okay. Thank goodness.


Work was busy and I was surprised at how quick the day went. 

Today was the first day of Mudpuppy May. Which is a month my fellow flosstuber and friend, Bethany,  declared last year. 

I spun the wheel and it chose "George's Frog" for my first stitch. 

One hundred stitches in and this is what I have so far. 


Not going to hide the fact that I had a rough start with this piece. Counting is hard, you guys! 

After working on that chart for a bit, I decided to switch back over to Strawberries and Chickens by LumiStitch. Uff, I messed on that one, too.  Cross stitch was not my thing this evening. 

Well, here's a progress update on it anyways. 


I'm looking forward to the weekend. Hoping the temps are a wee bit warmer. Fingers crossed.
