BIG BIG SNOW

Here's my car covered by the snow. I did get it dug out, and now it has snowed again.

After you dig out your car, if you leave your parking spot you must put a place saver in your spot. So, you get in the car, drive it out into the clear lane on the street, get out, find the garbage can or old chair or whatever. You put the place holder in your spot, get back into the car and go on your way.

When you return, you do the reverse: stop in the middle of the street; move the garbage can, etc, back into your parking place. Then unload your groceries. Of course the porch is full of snow, so the groceries have to be carried around the porch to the front door.

I did some grocery shopping on Sunday which felt like a real chore. The store parking lots have only half of their usual places to park as there are huge piles of snow where the snowplows have pushed the snow. Then do the dance just to get in and out of your home parking spot.

On top of the record-setting snow, we have had flu go through the house:

Miss C then me then Mrs. T.

OH MY! I just want spring!

Sending you Love, Love, Love

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY

MORE SNOW

It's steadily coming down! I hate to only talk about this weather, but I feel like I'm at Big White, BC, except that there is no elevation gain!

You can barely see the patio chairs; just a little of the back of the chair is sticking out of the snow.

Throw a couple shrimps on the barbie, OK?

I ventured out as far as the front porch today just to snap a couple photos. The BBQ photo is through the window.

February Snow

Apparently this snow is record setting in the Mid Atlantic region. We have about 18 inches on the ground today left over from Saturday's snowstorm. Another 12 to 18 inches is forecast for tonight.

Miss C enjoys the snow and wanted to make a snowman yesterday; because the snow is so dry, a snowman is difficult if not impossible. Enter the buckets and shovels of summer! Our Miss C was happy as a clam scooping and shoveling this white stuff. "We're at the beach!" She sat right down and made her own variation of a man with snow and carrot.

Sewing and Sewing

This little pillow is made from the t-shirt from the Hospital where Miss C was born.

"I got my first hug at C H Hospital."

(And some cut off legs of Mr T's jeans!)

I tried out "yo-yo's."

And put them on an Ikea pillow.

These fabrics are my next project: a quilt for a class I started last night.

It's bright, but that should keep it interesting. It'll be a sampler quilt with six different blocks.

Demolition Derby

Miss C giggles with delight when Mr T takes her in the little wagon. She loves all the daring-do that her daddy loves, too. The latest is the laundry basket -- spinning around and up and down.

I tried four times to upload the video of Demolition Derby, but I couldn't make it work. . . . . sorry.

Finished Quilt

This is it, complete with binding. What do you think?
