The first article under recommended reading today is something that you really do need to be aware of so please take the time to familiarize yourself with what governments are trying to do through ACTA.
The Onopordum acanthium - Wha daurs meddle wi me is past round 123.
It rained most of yesterday and into last night. The fog that accompanied all of this was pretty thick during the evening hours but seems to have lifted. The sun is even out this morning and the snow has melted off the roof.
I spent part of my evening knitting up a quick pattern swatch of the christening gown I made for Thomas. Someone else was having problems with that poorly written pattern and I needed to get my head back into the knitting of it. I really like that lace pattern and one of these days will incorporate it into something else.
I have to get moving, lots to do this morning. Have a great day!
