Where's Waldo?!!

Couldn't resist sharing this photo of our little guy playing in a ball pit - that smile could light up a whole room let me tell you!

Plus it looks like we dodged the bullet big time for flooding as the Red River crested in Fargo on Wednesday and everything came together in the perfect combination NOT to allow Mother Nature to get us with flooding this year - whew. Been through the worst case scenario a couple times in the past and gotta say I don't need that kind of stress ever again.

Have a wonderful weekend and happy stitching!

Flood Count Down

Living in Fargo we have gotten pretty use to having some level of flooding every Spring. We went through a terrible flood in 2009 and since then 4 of the last 5 years have had "100-year" type floods. This year it started out looking ok for us then we had the snowiest April on record followed by a fast melt this weekend and here we sit awaiting the flood crest this coming week. To give you a good idea I am attaching 2 photos here - one was taken on Wednesday that shows lots of snow and no river yet and the next photo I took tonight and the Red River is really creeping up.

And a spooktacular day to all!

Mwahahaha ....I can close my eyes and imagine the smells of Fall, crunching leaves underfoot, and the scurrying of all those little Trick or Treaters going from house to house! Mind you, maybe we can actually go from Winter to Spring before we consider Fall!!!! And let's just say that we had 11 inches of snow since Sunday and Spring is looking a little far off - flood season, not so far unfortunately but that will be a whole other post.

Here is another sneak peek at the Halloween design I have been working on - almost to the finish line now -
Yahoo! It is cute and spooky and will be such a fun stitch when it is released later this summer!
