Behaving Like Animals

Why is it we hoard in the wake of a storm.  On our recent snowy day I raced around buying up the town in a such frenzy a squirrel would be proud.  Today upon hearing of an impending storm, here I am again, I just finished "stocking up".  Don't ask me what I bought because most of it I can't justify.  Hmmm a new turkey platter, now that will come in handy when the power goes off.

Meeting of the Minds

I love this coffee shop!  There is a meeting of the minds in one corner talking wind farms, the life of Jesus and salmon fishing.  Another table playing a civilized game of crib and I'm knitting a shrug of many colors, which I'm frogging for the third time. Who needs TV.

On Knitting

My friend sent me this:
"In knitting as in life, we grow when we challenge ourselves.  The concentration required to learn a new stitch or technique is good for both our hands and our brains."

Annabella's Cowl Day Five

This picture makes it look shorter I think, but there is progress being made...tomorrow it will travel with me to do Christmas visiting, and I will be doing some knitting.
