Sleigh bells ring

Are you listenin' ...? In the lane, snow is glistenin'!

I'm deliquent in my blogging duties, I know.

Had a lovely visit on Saturday with Reba and NPR Emily - wonderful to see you ladies! It is terrible that I don't have the pleasure of your company (and baked goods) every work day, as I used to! I tried to convince them to move to Salem, but thus far they have resisted. We'll see. Reba was pretty resistant to being called Reba, at first.

I've been diligently working on my Juliet Scarf which is (hopefully) going to be an xmas present for a co-worker.


Juliet Scarf



Juliet Rosette (to pin on scarf)

I was making great progress on it, however: it is a rather complicated lace pattern. So I had gotten this far on a previous attempt before I made a big mistake, tried to frog, and had a meltdown:




This morning I slept in, and when I looked out the window, it was snowing! Snowing hard! Hooray! Our first snow of the season.

I ate my breakfast, grabbed my camera, and took some photos of Salem in the snow.

That was fun! Love seeing winter pictures around town. Don't we have a terrific place to walk & photograph?

Keep on with the scarf. It's looking nice so far.

Oh, wow, you guys got snow that actually looks like something! Ours was a bare dusting, and most didn't stick.

I love the scarf!
