Yeah, I hadn't either until I was coming home from the store yesterday morning with Ezra and heard the oddest buzz. This whole tree appeared to be buzzing.
Since we have had early rain and unseasonably warm temps (in the high 70s and low 80s) these trees have bloomed early and are filled with hundreds of thousands of tiny little yellow flowers and yesterday morning, being the bright and sunshine-y day it was, each of those flowers seemed to have its own bee collecting pollen. So as a result, the entire tree seemed to be buzzing like a giant yellow porch light. :) It was really amazing.
We also bought a new couch. Well new to us. Our old sofa was a 2nd hand sofa as well and had seen many better days. We continued to have it cleaned, but it never looked clean anymore, even the day after a cleaning. So on Thursday morning we were at the DMV renewing our licenses and right next store is the nicest Salvation Army I've ever been to. Really nice sofas and other things. At least 2 of the sofas were mint condition handmade ones and many were in beautiful condition. We got this one on sale for $69.
It is so much nicer than our old one and appears to be in new condition. I can't believe our luck. So it came to live at our house this weekend and we have welcomed it with open arms.
In knitting news, I'm starting to have 2nd thoughts about Accordion Mostly because Ezra likes to unzip his jackets and so pullovers are easier to keep on him. And yet I really love the look of this sweater. And I do have the yarn already on its way. Is it normal to have second thoughts about a sweater before you start it? Kind of like weddings? (Although, TBH, I never had wedding jitters. Maybe I was too busy?) I'm also willing to take suggestions for cute pullover boys sweaters.
