Yup. They said it would happen today.

It's snowing.

 



FOs and randomnesses

Since it's April 22 and we still have substantial snowbanks, I thought I'd photo Henslowe outside. 

The color really isn't correct on any of these pictures but this one is exceptionally dark.

I love everything about this shawl.  Well, excluding the bind off which felt like it took as long to do as the rest of the shawl...

 

 

 

But the bind off is a big part of what makes it so pretty and interesting.

 

 



Also finished is 2nd DGD's Potato Chip Scarf.  It was fun to do because she asked me for it and I was happy to make it.  And she said it is "bootiful"!

On the weather front, this is our backyard.  Yes.  Still with the snow everywhere.  Snow forecast for Wednesday.  But!  Temps in the 50s and 60s by the weekend.  WooHoo!!

We had so much fun at our anniversary party a week ago.  I'll post about that when it's closer to the real date...

Tag! You're It!

Karen tagged me today.  I'm sposed to tell 5 things about myself.  So here goes...

1. I've been trying to lose weight since December.  I lost 11 lbs. and gained 2 back.  Uff.
2. I'm itching to knit some lace but I've got 1 3/4 pairs of stranded mittens to knit.  Well those and various other UFOs.  Uff.
3. I'm so waiting for spring.  We still have too much snow.  Even the fields have lots of snow on them.  And there is a 90% chance of more snow this weekend.  Uff.
4. On a brighter note, May 5th is DH and my 40th wedding anniversary and this weekend we are meeting all our kids in MN for a little celebration.  WooHoo!
5. The decisions for the house are finally starting to wind down.  The hardwood is installed.  The tiles are being ordered tomorrow.  We've gotta decide on door knobs and cabinet hardware but when that is done there can't be too many more decisions to make.  Amen to that.  My decider is almost worn out!

Happy Thursday!

Uff

 

 

Again with the snow!
