A brighter day


We went to town today to stock up so we can stay home until sometime next week. The intermittent snows of yesterday gave a fresh look to the local mountains, and those blue, blue skies we love so much were back. This photo was taken at about 45 mph, out the car window, with my iPhone. I hadn't planned on a tree and fence ending up in it, but as often happens with surprises, it's far better than what I was hoping for.

Monte told me today that there's a story that says whatever you do the most of on New Year's day will lay the groundwork for the year ahead. I've decided to spin and knit...how about you???

I hope Monte is right because I plan to spend tomorrow in a vegetative state, just conscious enough to knit but not awake enough to absorb any news. We'll see how long that lasts...

Before I forget, your photographs are so gorgeous, Martie, I'm jealous!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

Happy new year to you, too, Marie! I like your plan. It almost makes me concerned about spending time to cook today....

Sunny and really cold here on New Year's Day. I spent quite a few hours knitting, in the car and at home. A good start to the new year methinks! Happy New Year Martie!

Hmm, I spent the day buried in the covers following a week of moving 18 years of paperwork from one office to another. Box after box after box...with more to come. If that sets the tone for 2010 it could mean I spend it sleeping on the job. Ack! I suspect my new boss wouldn't accept the "it's because I did it on New Years" excuse if he finds me under my desk with blanket and pillow. Me thinks, after this last week, my kissing 60 body would like to give it a try anyway. Any chance you could knit up an invisibility blanket for me?
Happy, Happy 2010 Dear One!
