While I was down in Pioneer CA, my Mom came up and met us down in Jackson for a very brief visit. I sure miss her. She took the photo below of my grandson and I. Can someone tell me what the hell that is under my chin!? Time to count the carbs.



It is snow-linting outside right now. Imagine a heavy mist that is frozen. In the light coming from above the garage door, it looks like zillions of teeny-tiny crystals or diamonds coming down. It is beautiful.

Tomorrow, I get my Alden Amos Canadian production wheel out and get some spinning done. I have not spun for way too long! I will probably finally spin up the blue fox and wool blend I bought eons ago. I found a few sweater patterns that will work with my handspun. I want to add a blue fox collar my great-auntie gave me after she passed on. It will be detachable so the sweater can be cleaned, or if it is too warm out for a fur collar.
