As we had a family dinner that night Gina brought up several brand new coats and a sweater she&#8217;d been given on Saturday.<\/p>\n<p>Then, on Sunday, Cheryl brought to lunch at Heritage House, a doggie coat that she&#8217;d bought for her Maggie that didn&#8217;t fit. Happily, one of the coats Gina gave me is really too big for Billie, so I can pass that one on to Maggie. So suddenly we have an abundance of coats.<\/p>\n<p>(more pictures to come)<\/p>\n<p><strong>April 5<\/strong> &#8211; With the temperature at -12 I thought we could try out the little parka. Billie was not impressed. It&#8217;s too big, so needs a bit of alteration.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/baburkard.com\/crochet\/when-it-rains-it-pours\/image-1-7\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-4353\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"4353\" data-permalink=\"http:\/\/baburkard.com\/crochet\/when-it-rains-it-pours\/image-1-7\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/baburkard.com\/crochet\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Image-1.jpg?fit=900%2C1200\" data-orig-size=\"900,1200\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Image 1\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/baburkard.com\/crochet\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Image-1.jpg?fit=225%2C300\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/baburkard.com\/crochet\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Image-1.jpg?fit=450%2C600\" class=\"alignright wp-image-4353 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/baburkard.com\/crochet\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Image-1.jpg?resize=225%2C300\" alt=\"Image 1\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/baburkard.com\/crochet\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Image-1.jpg?resize=225%2C300 225w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/baburkard.com\/crochet\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Image-1.jpg?resize=113%2C150 113w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/baburkard.com\/crochet\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Image-1.jpg?resize=768%2C1024 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/baburkard.com\/crochet\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Image-1.jpg?resize=450%2C600 450w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/baburkard.com\/crochet\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Image-1.jpg?w=900 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/baburkard.com\/crochet\/when-it-rains-it-pours\/image-14\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-4354\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"4354\" data-permalink=\"http:\/\/baburkard.com\/crochet\/when-it-rains-it-pours\/image-14\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/baburkard.com\/crochet\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Image-4.jpg?fit=900%2C1200\" data-orig-size=\"900,1200\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"apr05\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/baburkard.com\/crochet\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Image-4.jpg?fit=225%2C300\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/baburkard.com\/crochet\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Image-4.jpg?fit=450%2C600\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-4354 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/baburkard.com\/crochet\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Image-4.jpg?resize=225%2C300\" alt=\"Image\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/baburkard.com\/crochet\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Image-4.jpg?resize=225%2C300 225w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/baburkard.com\/crochet\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Image-4.jpg?resize=113%2C150 113w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/baburkard.com\/crochet\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Image-4.jpg?resize=768%2C1024 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/baburkard.com\/crochet\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Image-4.jpg?resize=450%2C600 450w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/baburkard.com\/crochet\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Image-4.jpg?w=900 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Isn&#8217;t it funny how sometimes events bunch up?
