Variations on a warp
and other interesting tidbits...
I had just finished hemstitching the end of this scarf
(I have still to twirl the fringe)
(I have still to twirl the fringe)
when one of my dear Daughters in Law
(I have a few - all dear to me)
came to pick me up for dinner.
It is lovely to eat out, and to have conversation
with your meal!
We had a nice evening planned....
The weather was warm
and though snow was forecast
there was no sign of it yet.
After dinner my son and I were going to
inspect some old, old, old, family pictures
on his humungous screen
with his "do-anything" program.
I had rescued these pictures from an uncaring cousin
who was about to throw them all out,
after my Auntie Hildred died...
They are a treasure
and we had a wonderful time
inspecting noses, and hair-dos, hats,
gravestones and eyebrows.
Time just flew by until I looked at my watch,
and at the same time my DIL came to say
it was snowing heavily,
So on with the shoes, and out with the cane,
and we went carefully down the hill and out
on to the highway,
with the snow swirling, really quite wildly.
We all got home safely.
Bruce went out into the backyard before we went to bed
and everything was looking festive and sparkling.
I woke in the night to see the
branches on the neighbour's evergreens
laden with a foot of snow and
bent towards my window.
And in the morning......
It is the first real snowfall we have had this winter..
who's complaining!!
The morning was glorious
all fresh and pure and white
in the sunshine
and the sky was almost as blue as May.
From my window in the loom room
I can see the far off hills,
where the sky and the mountains
blemd their blues together.
I finished another scarf.....
A scarf with holes in it......
An exercise in "denting" in the reed
Surely not for warmth,
strictly for decoration.
It is always a surprise when you wash
the weaving - magic in the water
and something you feel rather disappointed in
captures your heart.
More sun tomorrow - how lovely!
Probably icicles, as the temperature is going to drop,
Bruce tells me it is time to go outside,
have evening treats,
and settle down in bed for the night.
Sweet dreams.

I must say Hildred that viewed from the warmth of my computer room that snow is exquisite. We have not had any here yet and rarely get as much as that, although we did have quite a lot last year. I dare not go out when it snows because I am so frightened of falling over. Keep snug and warm. Love your weaving.
Now, that's definitely a snow to write home about. How beautiful! Soft and puffy and white...just like snow should be. I was just reading that a polar vortex is pushing down upon us and may bring record cold temperatures to the mid-west, so Old Man Winter hasn't had his last say. I absolutely love the scarf...holes and all!
That's a lot of snow, Hildred. It will be good moisture for your garden. I like seeing what you're weaving. The old photos are great - glad you rescued them!
That was a heavy snow! How nice you were able to spend such a good day with your son and dear DIL before it fell. And oh my goodness I'm glad you were able to rescue those pictures; what a great idea to view them on the larger screen.
