Back at it

Sorry 'bout that.  I could make excuses about not posting all last week, but you don't want to hear it.

In the meantime winter arrived

My contribution to this effort was making the pants.

So, how is winter at the new house?

Snow removal: check.  

The plow guy (we live on a private road), came at a really good time during the storm and did a fine job with the plowing.  Is doing our drive too, for what seems like a nominal fee.  So, even though we have a snow blower, we didn't even break it out.

Wood stove:  check.

Ok, there was a small learning curve.  But I feel we have the groove of it now.  I'm guessing we will only heat with it on the weekends.  Its great though, and makes you want to stay home.

Parties:  check.

Crafty brunch with the knitting girls was at my house this weekend.  Nothing like a winter storm to make you want to knit with wool in a primal instinct sort of way.  There was good eating

and knitting

Sewing:

And happiness (and not just because there were mimosa's and bloody mary's).
