Ack!

I told you it'd be back. We woke up to snow. And not the fluffy lightweight stuff. This snow was heavy and wet. And it didn't melt off my driveway like it did across the street so I had to go out and shovel it. There was no way the snowblower could move it so I grabbed the shovel and, well, shoved it off the pavement. I pushed it over to the edge of the lawn and then dumped it on there. It was almost too heavy to lift. 

I was happy to see this squirrel enjoying a suet nuggets nibble this morning. You can see how wet the snow was by the drops on the patio door. Yesterday a squirrel climbed up to the nuggets feeder, took one taste, and bailed. That made me think that they're spoiled but today's squirrel didn't seem to mind so I'll leave them.

 

Today's flower was Hydrangea. I should have overlapped the florets more so that the flower head is fuller but I like the way the leaves turned out. I should probably stop critiquing my drawings so harshly, shouldn't I?

 

At Friday Night Knitting, I worked on the 2x2 ribbing of the Melt the ICE Toque. I decided to try 2x2 ribbing to see if it is less taxing than 1x1. Not so you'd notice but I'll keep going. Ribbing to 6" is a bit of a slog but then the decreases start almost immediately. It's a trade off.

 

This afternoon I worked on wrapping up Seaview 4 and also the series. I can't imagine more story happening in that little bed-and-breakfast that wouldn't be repetitive. So I'm trying to tie up any loose eds and make Rose's life settled and happy. Happily ever after, right?
