Hi! I loved everyone's comments on cabin fever!
(more on comments in a moment...).
I think I especially agree with Kit who said she is still in the mood to enjoy the quiet time of winter. I do love winter...
and heaven knows I have LOTS to do indoors!
Besides cooking and cleaning, yuck!
Here's a little touch of whimsy in my snow-picked branches...
And I managed to get one try-out block of my doll quilt together last night. Keep in mind that each block is only 5 inches when finally done. Again I struggled with Lori's instructions ( sorry, Lori! I know it's me, not you!).Those darn Flying Geese! She had us cut them 1 3/8 " but they need to finish 1" so I for one needed more seam allowance, Lori! I'm glad I made the try-out block...and I think it's cute, don't you?
Sunday's flea market was small but fun....
Snowy dunes...
And, look! Ratty was out! He's our resident muskrat who washed ashore last spring in the big storm, we think. His burrow is in the swale, now frozen, of course.
Sea ducks, probably scoters or mergansers? (and a big ship 10 miles out at sea)....
Ice forming on the tideline...
I felt so refreshed. Until, last night, 3AM, my eyes popped open and I checked the temperature readout on my monitor. It was 7 degrees at that hour and I remembered that I left a gallon of Clorox in my car, because I had so much other stuff to carry in. Uh---what do you think the freezing temp of Clorox is??? (13*). If it froze then burst, the bleach would ruin my Jeep! I bundled up and trudged out into the 30 mph wind.
PS The blog-keeping bit today: my web browser won't let me email you guys directly, it is sulking. So I can't respond to your comments unless you leave me your email as a comment. I won't publish the email addresses, I promise, so send them alone or the rest of your message will be removed too because that's how Blogger works. OK? Your interest and comments mean so much to me, so if you haven't supplied it already, I'd love your contact info.
love
