It's a long one today
I decided that I was not going to remove snow yesterday. I just let it snow. I know, I know, I still have the job facing me this morning but they upped the amount of snowfall to 7-11” so why do it twice.
Whoa! There is more than 7” out there. The tree branches are all coated with snow. The main roads look to be clear - that is our DPW - but our drive isn’t. Wonder if we will get plowed out today?
I tried to finish my current reading selection but the eyelids were not cooperating last night.
I still have 3 skeins of the Knit Picks Comfy Fingering in the Marlin colorway left so I decided that I would play around with another scarf pattern. This one is features the old tried and true fern fronds.
Alright, I am going to overwhelm you with some of what I have read and watched today. As you glance or read through this just realized I am out blowing snow. :)
