I'm pretty sure we've broken another temperature record for heat again today. My car thermometer said 28 Celsius or 82.4 F. We hardly get that kind of temperature in the summer let alone April! Oh, My husband just came in and said the radio is announcing that Bathurst is the warmest spot in Canada right now. wow.
Since I was out for errands, I went to visit my mother-in-law for lunch and a walk on the beach. I just can't do it without filling my hands and pockets!
We sat on the deck after lunch and the walk and I did some knitting.
I had to rip out 3/4 of my afghan so I figured I might as well rip it all out. I was worried about running out of the yarn (from my stash) so I cast on less stitches. this is what it looked like before I ripped it out. So far, I've got a couple of inches redone--it goes fast though.
There is a little fabric shop on my way where I planned to pick up a batting for my baby quilt but a note on the door said the owner was sick and it was closed.
So, I've been busy, just not sitting inside at my machine. One really has to enjoy the weather as it comes. I think I'm going to head out now and do little raking.
I'm linking to WIP Wednesday at the Needle and Thread Network.

Isn't this weather lovely. Same here today; I've been outside all afternoon, cleaning off the gardens a bit; enough to let the sun on them. This morning I finished the cleaning in the sunporch; almost ready to hang quilts...yay!!
I guess sewing will be waiting for both of us,eh.I received my FQ bundle in the mail today. Summer Love collection
Your temperatures are way better than ours here in NS. I love your afghan. It will be so pretty when finished.
Lucky you Holly with such wonderful weather! Here in the UK it's cold and wet!
Your floor is pretty.
You must be getting the same weather the east coast of the US is getting. that is the kind of weather we had here for 2 weeks in March in the midwest.
I would love to open my windows and let the air in...lucky you:) We are a bit chilly here today. I like your floor. It looks very nice.
What would we do if we couldn't celebrate beautiful weather, or whine about our cold weather!! This week I'm in the latter category!
Thanks for letting me walk on the beach with and gaze out on the ocean! I can't do that either without picking up shells and rocks. I wonder what that's about sometimes, I mean really? I grew up on water, though not the ocean. I miss water so much. It's like a friend. You keep tabs on how he feels, what's floating by.
I don't know.... I think the pier and all those shells are saying, "Holly! Paint & Stitch me!"

I relate to busy but not the nice westher. Very yukky, rainy and we are now below normal temerature wise. Never a dull moment. Nice flooring!
It must be nice to be able to walk along the beach whenever you like.

Overall, we've had lovely weather too. Sounds like a lovely day. :)
