I have a bunch of recordings of observations made while driving on Saturday that i think i will delete. The most notable point is that crepe myrtles are still in bloom in places.

Yesterday was mostly lovely. Flu shot then breakfast with a few friends, home for a bit of cleaning on the deck then lunch with a friend.
During the deck cleaning i decided to dig up the potatoes and was delighted to discover they were successful. I'm not sure i can grow potatoes over winter, but i'm going to try with little red potatoes from the grocery. (Given the white potatoes were from the grocery, too, it's not a bad place to start.)
I'd like to grow more specialized potatoes in the spring so that i can experience some of the heirloom types.
After lunch the day is a bit of a haze. A nap was involved, and the day was quite warm. We were out of habit in keeping the place cool. I did the grocery run and came home to an emotional downturn. I grabbed some dark chocolate and sat and watched "Once Upon A Time" while crocheting. I've now finished the hat for my nephew: it's turned out nothing like i planned. I'd hoped for a more beret-like top, but the ribbing i did, following the instructions on the hat making tutorial, did not pull in. Instead, it flares out a little -- harumph. It still is hat like, and i can imagine it working.... maybe. I am frustrated, but have decided to commit to the way the hat has made itself and hope it works as a gift.
