More felting of "The Bag"-Snow Picture

I ran the bag through another wash cycle, this time using dawn dish soap instead of detergent. The bag felted more and is now more of the size I was shooting for when I did all that aweful math a couple of weeks ago. I bought some jumper clasps for the front flap and extra "jean" buttons so I can adjust the closure is I need to. I have knitted and felted the inner pockets I wanted and the handle bar straps that will hold it onto the bike. The BF stuck it on my head and became a shutter bug again. LMAO! I really don't mind having my picture taken. Always time for a bit of goofing off!! I drink a lot of coffee...can you tell?! LMAO! I like my coffee!!!

And the day would not be complete without a picture from the snow storm we had. This was mid-day Wednesday. It was very pretty out as the snow was sticking to everything. Streets with a lot of trees looked like veiled pathways. SOoooooooo pretty! The pictures do not do the absolute beauty of it justice....even if it is supposed to be spring here!

I have been looking into purchasing a bike "computer" to keep track of the milage I will be biking. I tried to purchase from buildurbike on ebay after asking about his return policies but the basterd blocked me from purchasing anything!! WTF? I ask the seller a question because I am a weary and cautious buyer, not because I want to stir up some shit.I answered my email and he sounded like a good seller. Wierd. I asked this person if they wanted my sale or not because if they don't then I am just gonna go pay the extra $20 and purchase the same cateye wireless "computer" from the local shops here in town! Cripes. Wierdo.

Until next time...

Son-of-a-? SNOW!!! In April!! WTF?

Where there should be buds of green...there are buds of green with a top-hat of snow!! The woods are all a fog with snow and the wind...OH THE WIND!! Driving on the interstate this morning WAS NOT FUN. The work van was getting TOSSED too and fro...holy smokes...it was a white nuckle driving mornin'! On top of all that (pun intended) we are expecting close to 6 inches by the time this is through. I hope it melts fast and it warms up soon...I've got cabin fever and I am getting anxious about being cooped up all the time. NNnnnnnnnnaaaaaah!

OH....OH....My POOR LILAC!! OOOoooooo!!! It was growing and now...snow...OOOOoh I hope it makes it! It is a hardy variety so chances are this won't stun it...hopefully. It survived staying outside all winter which I was very happy about. The rose-however- did not make it. I'll try again this year and then come winter I will pack the cone with straw....wool waste even because the leaves made it mold I think.

BTW, did you know wool makes great mulch?! I threw a bunch of waste wool (thick with poo) on the ground last fall and it snuffed the grass out! OOoooppppssss!!! So I moved it to a planter to help snuff the weeds.

Snow update: Huge, wet, heavy flakes...no shampoo for you!

Day three of the snow storm. Well, the garden is almost 3/4 full of snow and there is a good foot to TWO FEET of snow out there.

The BF had to park the truck behind the work van last night because the little light-as-afeather truck would not go up the slight incline into our parking space! See that little, tiny, itty-bitty, Toyota Tacoma behind the BIG white van? I dunno if there will be any school tomorrow. The news is saying to stay home if at all possible. Now we are getting huge wet flake that are wieghing the trees down! Those cedar bushes are usually standing streight and tall! We have HUGE snow drifts around the front door of the building. I'm sure the BF will want to get out into it just to get his Starbucks fix, so I will go with him. They say it is supposed to snow all day today, and then snow more early Monday morning.
I think there is an 80% chance that there will be no work tommorrow. Yet another hit to my check. Grrrrr.

Until next time...

Daybreak: 4 inches of snow overnight

We accumulated around 4 inches 6 inches of snow overnight, and this morning we have blizzard warnings with a huge band of snow heading our way. I better get my coffee before the weather turns bad.

Until next time...

It's HEEEEEErrrrrreeeeee!

The news cast is calling it the largest snow storm to hit this area in 15 years. We shall see. Is it not odd that I yell "Well, were is it?!" and then it starts snowing?? I must stop doing that. It's dark out now so I took a picture of the porch where the previous snow fall has melted away. I took it around 6:30 Friday evening.

Until next time...

Nature Walk-Pictures

Here are some pictures of the nature walk we took over the weekend. There were turkeys out in the open so we figure they must be very hungry to risk exposure. There is a photo of turkey tracks in the snow, and one comparison to my new boots. Then we found a lone pincone still hanging onto the tree. Got some great shots of that one. Then some wintery sky and a picture of a turkey in mid wing stretch. Walk this way!

Until next time...

Snow!!!

See that snow atop the bird feeder? That is FRESH snow and we have another good 4 inches or more when I woke up this morning at around 10AM and it is STILL SNOWING!! I drove down to get my coffee this morning and the streets have not been plowed in my neck of the woods so it was FUN driving down the street! I'm serious! I go to make a turn and I cannot go very fast because out little small truck is sooo small and light so I floor it...WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE, fish-tail left, fish tail right....I love the snow! (I am a professional driver...years of experience in driving in all types of weather so I can have fun in the snow).

And look! The garden is practically half full of snow!

I LOVE SNOW!

But I think I will be walking down to knit at the LYS down the street instead of driving. It'll be a great workout treading through all this fresh snow, and then all I will have to worry about is someone not paying attention and suddenly loosing control and coming my way....I'll cross my fingers that no such thing will happen (vivd imagination).

Until next time...
