Thanks mom!

it looks so like a landscape in the center of the branches – think of being small enough, or a good enough tree climber, to be able to explore that?

end of the yellow yarn

It is so gratifying to completely finish something – run right out and have to improvise the ending….

This is the end of the yellow yarn I bought for the Harika socks, and had enough left over to make these, down to nearly the toes on both sides. I’ll cobble together some more ends for the toes, and have new socks from left overs. Which makes me happy.

The governor has declared a state of emergency, the mayor has declared a … town? of emergency, and the snow is almost over. Time to go shovel.

I was going to give you cattails, but I am only allowed trees this month.
