Well it is definitely spring in northern NJ finally. It was gorgeous for my sister’s baby shower yesterday. The sweater was warmly received. My sister told me that I was "getting really good" at the knitting thing 
Today, after sitting in the backyard knitting a sock (lornas lace shepherd in black purl) dad suggested we take the monkeys over to see Great Falls in Paterson. With the 8 inches of rain that the nor’easter dumped on us Sunday/Monday, causing the Passaic River to seriously flod, the falls would probably be an awesome site. Dad was right. We’ve been going there periodically since I was a kid and I’ve never seen it as powerful as today. In contrast, if I remember correctly, the last time I visited it was during a drought. Amazing.
Rather than bore ya’ll with photos of finished socks (yup, I correctly predicted that the trekking ones would be finished Friday night) I thought I’d show you photos of the falls instead.
That’s little Miss Kat standing there seeing the falls for the first time.
Here’s what it looked like without the fence in they way.
Finally, I made use of the movie feature on my elph and took this less the fabulous but you get the idea movie.
We had lunch at the local hot dog joint and while Kat is sleeping, Alex is sugared up on the Skittles his grandpa let him have. I’m going to join Kat in the nap thing. I’m pooped out!
Craft on.
