Winter Schminter

In the past month we have had more snow than I can remember in all of my childhood years added up.
This may, or may not, be an exaggeration.
We get about 6 inches of snow, and then a few days later, get another 6 inches. It's hard to say how much is out there now as it keeps compacting and staying the same height, but for the mail box. That's almost a hole in a snowbank...... Did we get the paper today? Hmm.....

Yesterday, on a sunny Saturday morning, I took the two furry ones out for a walk in the snow. We had rain, then snow, then freeze, so 3 days later, all the world was still held captive in the icy blanket. Perfect for some lovely snow photos!

I could hear my 6th grade teacher, leading us in Robert Frost's "Stopping By Wood On a Snowy Evening" as I walked through the snow, exploring with the dogs. So quiet, still and perfect. Just the quiet moment I needed after another hellish week on my "Day Job".That was until my companions decided to cause a ruckus, while still attached to my wrist.

This is Bessie,  the Basset princess, who is giving us her best "Who me?" expression. The picture of innocence is she.

The remainder of my weekend has been dedicated to buckling down and finishing my father's birthday scarf in a lovely green tweedy wool. I've got about 3 feet down, and about 3 to go before it's complete. Hopefully I can knock it off my list of "Incomplete Projects Plaguing My Brain" before long. * sigh *
Hopefully.
