And snow returns

Not sure whose idea this was:

... the snow, I mean, not the kids hunting for Easter Eggs.  I know who to thank [blame?] for that.  A gentleman in our church group puts this hunt on each year, and invites all the neighborhood kids over on the Saturday before Easter Sunday.  We had fun, and the kids were excited about it, but Hyrum and Morgen had a hard time getting to some of the eggs, since they wore sandals!  

Currently, this is what I'm knitting on:
 

I tried to make a fingerless mitten about a month ago, and was less than pleased with it.  I frogged that mitten, and knit some dishcloths while I cleansed my knitting rage ;) at the non-cooperative yarn and pattern.  I found another pattern, altered it to work with the cables I wanted to include, and made notes of what I changed while I was knitting.  The last few times I've changed a pattern I've been sure I could remember the changes without writing them down.  This time [now I know better] I wrote down the changes on the pattern.   The first mitten is finished, and it fits!  I worked on it while I was listening to General Conference yesterday and today.  I have the second mitten on my needles now, and my goal is to finish that one before Jared gets back from New Mexico this week.

Hyrum was pretty upset that the Easter Bunny didn't leave eggs for him to find in our yard this year.  I told him that I thought the bunny must have left the snow instead.  That did not help.

Gratitude List:

* The wonderful, spiritual messages I have been blessed to hear this weekend as part of our church's semi-annual General Conference.

* My MIL had a health scare last week, but she is doing well, and home from the hospital.

* I love seeing new little green grass blades sticking out of the snow drifts.

* Spending today with my family, eating good food and playing fun games.

* Central heating for those unexpected April snowstorms.
* A lovely spontaneous visit with some good friends on Friday.  And no school for my kids, so they could come, too.
* Still loving the debt-free life!
* I finished a mitten, and it fits me!
* Art class is this week ;) and I'm already excited about our project.
* I found some lovely sock yarn on Saturday.  I bought it.  I have a [free] sock pattern, and this new project is going on my "to do" list.  Just because it's spring, and I would like to try knitting socks.
* No major allergy attacks this spring.  Maybe this is because there is still so much snow on the ground, but I'd like to think it is partially because those allergy shots are really working!
* I found some sheet music online that was no longer in print, and unavailable through my music store.  Bought it, downloaded it, and printed it- hooray!
* Beautiful weather.

* God is good.
