Mr. C gave me The Granny Square Card Deck for my birthday. I'll #crochet 1 square every week with Hobbii Rainbow Cotton 8/8 yarn, size H (5mm) hook. This will give me 50 squares with 2 weeks to join them into...something before my next birthday. Week 7 - Diamond Square

Good morning, Sunbeams!

Every now and then, Moriarty deigns to lay on my chest for about 90 seconds, usually when I'm trying to edit something on my phone.

Every kindness,

however small,

is a seed

that can save a life,

a mind, a soul.

I was sitting in my hammock chair when Miss Watson started plucking the ropes like harpstrings.

Once again I was determined to see how many crocheted pretties I could eke out of one small skein of yarn. I got 5 coasters, 5 flowers and 1 little heart.

Sarah drove us to The Prefecture this afternoon. After several years of wading through bureaucracy I now have my Carte Sejour (permanent residency - Green Card) which is good for 5 years. 🥹 It's a beautiful day. 🇫🇷

While Mr. C was preparing a large pot of soil so I could plant my tomato plant, Watson's sister, Moya, stopped by for a cuddle. Don't tell Moriarty and Watson!

Eggs are so cheap in France you can find them just lying in the street.

We braved the wet weather to pop to the shops - no regrets but plenty of egrets.

To celebrate the Spring Equinox I'm supporting the creator of the Blessed Be Granny Pentacle, WomanWalkingAWire. People have stolen her pattern and passed it off as their own. If you want to make this pattern, please buy it directly from her. #crochet

Mr. C says:

Fair Damsel made paella - a Spanish dish of saffron rice, chicken, mussels, and chorizo for dinner tonight.

Absolutely Sunbeamadelicious.😋

Hearing loud machine noises outside, I asked Mr. C if he knew what they were. He said it's an excavator and a tractor. They're fertilizing the field next to us.

I think we'll keep the windows closed today. Ah, country living!

A trip to town yielded both necessary supplies and unexpected treats. A detour took us past a lovely pink flowering tree we wouldn't have seen otherwise. It wasn't the only spectacular display of blooms we were blessed with seeing today.
 

Moriarty and Watson would like to wish you a Happy St. Gertrude's Day...but they're a little busy right now.

I think he looks like a PopTart. 😂

A cold day spent inside apart from a trip to Intermarche. Fair Damsel treated us to a mushroom & ham pie together with a lemon meringue pie for pi day.

The first pie was absolutely Sunbeamadelicious.😋

I'll let you know about the second one.

🙂☄️🌻🌞

Out and about with Mr. 'n' Mrs. C 🌞❤️🌻...

There were many shifting clouds today including some that looked like dragons.

Mr. C and I are preparing to celebrate #PiDay ! One pie is mushroom and ham. The other is lemon meringue. 

😋

I rooted the base of some celery from the grocery store in water over the last couple of weeks. Today I planted it in a pot in my Skylight Garden. There are already 3 stalks that are several inches long.

 'And You Don't Even Know'

You're the reason I can't sleep at night, 

and the reason I get up every morning.

And you don't even know.

You are the one who can stop my heart,

And the only reason it keeps on beating.

And you don't even know.

You turn my thoughts into confusion.

You haunt my dreams at night.

You are my greatest inspiration.

You make everything all right.

And you don't even know.

You are the greatest trial of my life.

You are the only hope for my redemption.

And you don't even know.

You turn my thoughts into confusion.

You haunt my dreams at night.

You are my greatest inspiration.

You make everything all right.

And you don't even know.

I'm waiting for you.

And you don't even know.

Today I think Watson decided to try a different tactic - pretend to ignore Mommy's breakfast.

Update on us

An early start followed by an afternoon nap meant that I didn't visit the lake area today, which was just as well because it rained.

Fair Damsel crocheted, read, watered plants, and petted our kitties. Later, she served stew for dinner.😋
