Hello! I've been reading Bleak House by Charles Dickens. Our Brad recommended it to me because when he finished he was so full of exuberance and called to talk about it. I have only read A Tale of Two Cities, so I branched out a bit. I'm loving it. Kim at My Field of Dreams is a big Dickens promoter, too. Between the two of these book enthusiasts, I have a nice little panel in which to present my own observances. Yay! Isn't book talk fun?
Tim is such a cuddle bug these days. He can't get enough lap time. He even sleeps on the bed with us ALL night long. He is a lap cat to be sure. I'm grateful. I love cats.
On Friday night it snowed and snowed. The up side of big snows is the way the white brightens everything! It's a good time to clean the house because the light shows all the dirt. Hmmmmm. I'll consider that.
See? He's such a floppy little gentleman.
As I try to figure out knitting color work, I have a bigger appreciation for things like this LL Bean sweater my mom gave me. I think I am overthinking my color work. It just doesn't seem to come naturally to me. I look at the chart all the time. I am sure I need much more practice.
It's definitely boot weather. I love my Blundstones. I ordered the "work" version because they were cheaper, but they are heavy. I think my heavy shoe days may be almost over. I need light shoes so I can hop about (yeah, right).
I'm practicing my mitten making. I still have a whole mitten to finish but I started this version. I'm like a blind old mole staring at the chart. It's hard work, I tell you.
I looked back and back and back at my old blog posts to see what I was thinking about in late February for the last ten years (wow - I am a long time blogger, I guess) and every year there has been lots of cold snow and ice and every year I have whined about it.
Spring will come. At least the Easter candy is out at the grocery store. It's so cheery looking. I do love to squeeze all the soft bunnies, lambs, and other springlike soft toys I find in the seasonal aisle.
Look who got his first professional haircut! Cutie! Christie sent me this photo.
Lent begins on March 6. Are you observing Lent? I like to do a few quiet and personal activities, so I'm thinking about it.
It's almost time to go kite shopping. FUN!
Thank you for stopping in. You are very kind to do so.
