Monday

I left work at about 6:00pm tonight and was thrilled to see the
deep blue color of the sky contrasting with the yellow window.

The elf-like hat is for a friend who is heading to Vermont in a couple of weeks.
It took less than two hours to knit...I may make one for myself.
She's definitely a city mouse so I thought she could use a country hat!

Happy Monday!

Weekend - Tucked Away

Feeling quite run down I spent most of my weekend holed up

with some new yarn, Gerber Daisies and cups of tea.

It snowed most of Saturday, although none of it stayed around and

was blustery and cold Sunday.  The wind howled as it pushed out the clouds.

The bookshelf photo was accidental.  It's one of nine bookshelves

 in my little apartment!

The small white orchid and purple violet are new.  My lovely yellow

orchid is still opening blooms as is the one in my shower.

Last night I awoke suddenly from a bad dream and threw wide the window 

for a deep breath of cold air.  I frightened the neighborhood skunk who quickly 

waddled down the alley, white tail trailing.  My nightmare soon forgotten.

Thursday - Snow for a Day

Yesterday it snowed and by morning there were a couple of inches on the ground.
Then today's temperature rose into the upper 40's and all but shaded areas melted.
Such an unusual winter we are having.

I pass this tree every morning on my way into work.
It has such a distinct personality, it makes me smile.
