After All The Rain and Warm Temps

And we still have all this snow!

 

Took these pictures, this morning (Sunday, March 30). Snow will be around well into April. We didn't even come close to record snow fall, this year!

Thank you for visiting. Hope you come again!

I SEE LAND!

I took these this morning, just after sunrise...

Things are starting to melt and the ground is finally showing (at least in the front yard)!

If you at the pics below you can see most areas still have a few inches left to melt.

Looking closely, you can see the different layers of snow from the different storms along the way!

Thank you for visiting. Hope you come again!

Last Pi Day

Last Friday (3.15) was Pi Day at the AMS!!! The entire 7th grade all competed to see who could learn the most digits in Pi, Laura memorized 150 and she won! The prize is whole pie of her very own!!!!

Yesterday, she ordered Chocolate Cream. She's such a giving, selfless girl, I am sure all the kids in her unit will share in her success! I can't wait to hear how much she enjoyed it. I am SOOOO proud of her!

Thank you for visiting. Hope you come again!

Cool Photo

Or should I say COLD!

I took the pic this morning. After all the gorgeous weather, it was a surprise seeing it cold enough to do this again.

Thank you for visiting. Hope you come again!

TADA!!!

HEART Aran Sweater #2

Hurt my heel a little bit ago and have been taking it easy. Except for a quick walk in the back yard with my beagle and shoe shopping with my daughters, I've been resting the foot and staying sane by knitting. Finished my daughter's sweater just in time for all that cold weather to be over. Oh well, it's still sweater weather, right?

Adult LARGE! ( :D )
Yarn: Red Heart Acrylic Yarn * Color: Aran * Needles: US 7 and 8.

Combination of different patterns, creates this "One-Of-A-Kind" sweater:

Cable Confidence has the beautiful pattern for the large panels on either side of the hearts. Here's a link to the book on -->Amazon<--

The hearts are from an old magazine pattern for a baby sweater (at the time I was childless so I only jotted down the heart part of the pattern)... recently I found the pattern again, on Ravelry.

FOR SOME REASON... Ravelry's link makes it difficult for one to retrieve the heart pattern. Sorry. Click --> HERE <-- for just the heart portion of the pattern (the part of the pattern I jotted down years ago).

Thank you for visiting. Hope you come again!

Snowy and Cold Day

It was like living in a snow globe, every time I looked out the window. So pretty. Tried to capture the flurries on a quick walk outside.

The old snow is so cold and hard, it's so easy to just walk along the top.

Thank you for visiting. Hope you come again!

Aug! Record Low Temps Tonight.

I really didn't mind this winter's snow. It's the cold that's been brutal. When I looked at the temp at 5:30am this morning, it was -1°F. Tonight, the temps are going to be -4°F. The North Country is going to be in the 20s below zero YIKES!!!

It's so unseasonably cold, wood pellets are sold out everywhere and because of the late season, places are not reordering. The same goes with cord wood, no one has seasoned available and now the wood stove in the family room is burning wood bricks (which are also cleaner, greener and more expensive).

The good news is, Friday and Saturday it will be in the high 30s and 40s; it will feel like Spring! Daylight savings ends this weekend, too! Yippee! Always a HUGE Silver Cloud behind the Grey Lining (all one needs is a green patch of grass and to keep looking up)!

Thank you for visiting. Hope you come again!

Hampton Beach

Do love going to the beach in the winter. It's such a different place. So, this past Saturday we went to Hampton Beach to see it all shut down.

What a difference just a couple months make. Not the same spot on the street, but you can see how quiet it was.


Laura took the next couple of pics.


Love the natural water tracks and the dog track at the very bottom! So random. Laura recorded some interesting images. She really does have an artistic eye and appreciation for the things around her.

Thank you for visiting. Hope you come again!
