I have been patient. I have alerted everyone I know how to reach of their coming. I have asked that food be placed outdoors where they can find it as they arrive. I have hung not one but two feeders in their usual spots, easy to find, one in RI weeks ago, just in case, and a second in the almost artic, the Northeast Kingdom. I know they don’t arrive there until May 7th, but you never know. They’ve arrived in Michigan. That did them alot of good, it snowed nearly half a foot. But here… where I check everyday…. nada, zip, zilch! Everyday I go to the hummingbird web site, I see the dated dots on the migration charts.. there are dots showing them to be all around me, but NOT HERE! What’s up with this? There has been a sighting up in Nova Scotia. That’s Canada!!
The Leaf Lace Shawl progresses. I did the right thing frogging the FBS. I planned the yarn for this project and am happy with the way its going along. The yarn is going further than I had expected. The beads give it a fun sparkle. And, it’s moving right along!
I am adding yarns and colors to my Yarns for Sale page. Some are replacing yarns I’ve sold, others are new colors. Everyday is an inspiration. I’m also dyeing a two ply, 15-16 wpi merino / silk yarn. It’s the same one that I’m using for the Leaf Lace. Here’s what I added:
Daffodil
Mallard
Orchid
Atlantic ( this is a 2 ply and a bit brighter)
and soon I’ll post one I call ‘Ink’.
ps.. I just saw a dot marking a hummer sighting in almost exactly the location I’m sitting in right now. Do you think they went to the wrong house?

I haven’t seen any either…the’ll be coming.
Many, many thanks for the yarn – it arrived today…. and I promised Margene she could have any extra leftovers (if there are any), as she is most covetous of the Lilac too. I saw her shawl she made with the green/blue colorway of yours last night – it is GORGEOUS!
Me neither. Mine usually arrive the day before Mother’s Day. Would you PLEASE stop taunting me with that yarn???????? This is getting painful.
Hummers passed through my yard in north Florida during the two – three weeks after Easter. I still have Baltimore Orioles hanging around and warblers are everywhere. We still even have A. Goldfinches and some Waxwings. they’re smart enough to wait til it warms up where you are!
Gawd, Judy, those are ALL amazing! I especially like the Daffodil, but I gotta go on a yarn diet until I sell a bit more stuff myself! And BTW, I started a new blog on the site Cindy uses now. She’s right, it really is easier than the machinations I used to go through to post an entry. Maybe now I’ll write more often! Great job on the latest colors, and thanks for your advice on my latest Dye project. It was helpful and much appreciated!
