Let the Sunshine

Well I sure did not know what kind of day to expect today because when I woke up at 4 am it was -25 Celsius with a windchill in the mid -30's. It is now 1 pm the sun is shining brightly, the wind is down to 13 km/h and the temp has gone up to -8 Celsius. Even though the kids gave me their cold I am going to bundle up and try and go for my daily walk outside and get some fresh air. I am counting the days that we will finally be able to put all the screens in our windows and keep them open so that we always have fresh air :-)



I have 14 different projects on my knitting needles and/or crochet hooks and am slowly but surely making a dent in them all. If everything goes according to Hoyle I should be able to finish two more dishcloth KAL's. I got the Cables for Ireland a KAL with KnittingKnook finished earlier in the week and have got row 40 finished on the KnittingKnook March special. I only have 15 rows left to complete the February KAL X's and O's with Rachel's Knitting Group and am half way through the March KAL with Monthly Dishcloths. I am going to really put my needles in gear to get these items finished before the Mid March KAL's start on March 16th. Wish me luck. I will post pictures later.

Kahlua's family has gone to Florida so she is visiting with us a couple of weeks.



Have a great day.

Is It Spring Yet? LOL

Well you would think that after living in Thunder Bay for 21 years I would not be surprised by the crazy weather that happens. Even with all the warnings on the news that a storm front was going to hit and that we could get up to 40cm of snow, I don't think hubby or I were prepared for what greeted us when we got up at 8 am today. Hubby finally got the backhoe to start and is now outside plowing the driveway. Today is definitely not a day that I will be attempting to do my walk outside, will do my walking inside and around the house. Poor hubby will be outside for hours, once he gets our driveway plowed he then has to go plow the neighbours and our middle sons driveways. We are hoping that the weather people are wrong and we won't be getting more snow as they are predicating.
