FEATHERED FRIENDS

   The birds continue to feast off the railing, as the snow gently falls. We have been lucky so far, and this is the first real snow. We might have enough to stick through tomorrow.

Some of the geese, stay for the winter.

GETTING IN THE SPIRIT

View from my deck last year. Suppose to snow on Friday and I'm getting in the holiday mood.

Hungry Little Birdies

Well... we saw patches of brown and green grass for a few days, but it just... had... to snow... again... late last night. Lot's of heavy snow all night long and into today. I think it has finally stopped - for a while. So Hubby cleared off the railing and fed the birds this morning. I was able to snap a few. They are camera shy, so you have to be sneaky about snapping them. They sure do enjoy their meal from my deck railing and I really enjoy watching them, while I spin.

Storm ends and Spinning Continues

It is early morning and the snow has tapered off. Just a few flurries coming down.



I always judge the snowfall by how deep it sits, on the deck chair arm. Enough snow for now and it can melt anytime. It is suppose to stay cold, this week and into next. I'm afraid the snow will be around for a while.

The spinning and dyeing continue.





Today my choice is to spin, some of my kettle dyed wool in cheerful Spring colors.


Spring can not be too far away can it?

Winter Nap

Wind is blowing and the snow is falling. The furballs know when it's good to get cozy and snuggle in.

Calm before the Storm

I'm watching a bright red cardinal eating seed off my deck railing, as I spin. The wind is beginning to pick-up and the snow will be here in a few hours. Just a few flurries are falling now. The weather channel says high winds for tomorrow and into tomorrow night along with snow and freezing rain. We all know what that means. I don't even want to think about a power outage. The temperature has been in the teens for the last few days. Yes....we have a generator, but not my favorite thing to do.

One bobbin down and 3/4 of the other bobbin to go. Should have it plyed by the end of the week.

First Snow

The First Snow of the year fell this weekend. I guess it had to happen sooner or later. By the time the sun was up for a few hours, the snow had melted. Flurries by the end of the week, or so the weather channel says. We'll see.

I'm knitting a really interesting deer hat. I will post a photo after a little more progress. It seems to be the hot ticket for the hunter in your life. In my case it's for my daughters boyfriend.....a Christmas present. Taking way..way..longer to knit than it should. I have a zillion needles, but do you think I could find one the right size? I finally had to settle for one I found over at the Michaels store. The needle is the right size circular, but the length is a little too long so you kinda adjust the stitches from what you have just knit to swing around to what you are trying to knit. It eases the tension on row you are working on. I would have ordered one in the shorter length, but I really wanted to get started on this hat. I had this compelling urge to cast on immediately. My hands definitely do not like knitting with this circular .......may have to order some needles tomorrow.
