The first day's snow has landed. |
It's been really cold over the past few weeks and taking Buster for his walks has been a real effort. He loves to run but the only places you can let him off the lead are all about a mile away from home. So its quite an effort getting to the start of the walk. Buster didn't mind in the least, he loves the snow, thinks its good to eat but is puzzled by the yellow bits, he has to inspect every one!!.
Yesterday we took a walk across the fields, big mistake, I was knee deep in snow, over the top of my wellies and Buster leapt about like a demented rabbit. The snow was so deep it came half way up his back and he kept getting lost in snowdrifts. Back home I was cold, wet and short of breath, he fell asleep immediately and snored the rest of the morning away. We've had several days without post and I felt sorry for the postman yesterday when he did get through as his bag looked very heavy. We've now had two days where the temperature has been above freezing but this has made walking treacherous. Today Buster's walk was cut short, very short as I came a cropper within five minutes of stepping over the doorstep. Not hurt, apart from my pride, I just got a wet bottom and a warm lick from Buster.

We escaped broken gutters as my DH cleared the ice out in time (we live in a bungalow so no climbing ladders). Your poor garden seat! I love, love, love your lap quilt, the colours are beautifully restful and the circles look great too. Your cutter has come into its own for this job. I for one would love to know how you use the metal ruler for a snap closing. Is it easier than putting a zip in (my pet hate)?
Hi Annette.
I love that quilt with the circles! I'm a circle and spiral fanatic. You'll see that with the PC I'm sending you for the SurfaceDesign pc swap. Cheers. Dayle
