Sidetracked

The plan was to leaf out the tree on Eve in the Garden today.

We got sidetracked.

• Dearly Beloved's car needed its oil changed, so we dropped it off to have that done.
• We had a list a mile long of essential things--like light bulbs and laundry detergent--so we went to the Big Box Store to take care of that.
• Sushi and sashimi have been calling my name, and Dearly Beloved loves real ramen of the slurpable variety as opposed to the college student staple type--so we went to our favorite Japanese restaurant for lunch. They were very busy, so it took longer than usual.
• I had an urge to bake a cake. This happens only rarely since we no longer live with ravenous teen-agers.
• The usual week-end household chores needed to be accomplished.

Thus, no new leaves can be seen on the tree.  There is still tomorrow.

I did do a little week-night stitching the last few evenings, though.

This is part of Catherine Theron's Early Spring Lambs needlebook. I do so love the soft pastels used in this--and somehow it seems appropriate for the season.

And I most definitely see hopping from one project to another in my future for a bit. I am making no plans, setting no goals, just playing in the stash.

This may be a symptom of spring fever.
