I started an Irish crochet bedspread this morning, finishing three hexagons. The pattern is named Irish Melody, first published by the
Spool Thread Company in 1939. I`m using Knit-Cro-Sheen thread and a size 7 steel hook. 367 hexagons to go for the full size spread. I`m a huge fan of Irish crochet and I`ve had this pattern book published by Dover Publications, about 15 years. Time to get started don`t you think? I have the time now to relax and enjoy my crochet work.

The next photos show a different type of high desert beauty in the Kingman, Arizona area. A friend purchased this property and my husband took the pics on their recent trip there.

| There are small fish in the stream. I think the elevation is about 4,500 feet. Maybe higher. |

Isn`t that a beautiful sight?. I understand there are deer and javalina in the area too. I love the desert and it`s special places.
That`s about it for today. It`s warm and I`m going to start yardwork. Maybe walk first. Have a great weekend!
