For the first time in many years, I finished our tax return by the first deadline! I’m very proud of myself, and will reward myself with unbridled knitting, if I can stay awake. The Salt and Pepper Jacket is just a couple of hours away from being finished.

I did get some knitting done during these fine spring days. My little one and I sit in the shade under the carport. She plays and I knit. I got a good sample done for my next INKnitters article. Only several more to go. I like to illustrate with lots of samples.

As I said, we are having beautiful spring days here in Texas. The sun is warm, the breezes light, and wildflowers are everywhere. Texans are proud of their wildflowers. I’m no exception, so here are some photos. In this one, the white earth to the left is our driveway. When you back out, you have to watch out for that barbed wire fence, or as some of us say around here, “bob wahr fence.”

These are pink evening primroses, aka showy primroses. They’re my favorite.
