Snow.....

We finally got snow! Roads are blocked, Honey couldn't get to work, and kids couldn't go back to school. It was Mater's first snow and he loves it!

This is the view from my front door. 

The last rose just hanging on by a thread. 

Some of my garden decortations covered in snow. 

 Aren't the bare trees fabulous!?!

Rain, Snow, Rain Welcome to SoCal

What a wild week of weather we have had here in California! Yesterday it snowed for about a half an hour! The kids had a blast and were making plans for a snow day! Because yes, this amount of snow would close the schools!!!

But then, it stopped snowing, the weather gods took a breath, and it started to rain again! Which melted all the snow!!

My dad wants a hat and he asked if I would make him one. He told me what he wanted and I think it is this:

Elizabeth Zimmerman's Maltese Fisherman's Hat from the Knitters Almanac. Which Honey ordered for me TWO WEEKS ago! She received an email saying it was shipped the same day and I have not yet received it!!! The FIVE other books she ordered the same day have been here for ever!!

I have the yarn and needles (which I had to buy because although I have a ton of needles, I did not have size 10.5 circular) ready to go!!

So, I have time to work on my lapghans for KnittinWolf and her contest! Please head over and check it out!!!

Anyway, more rain for today! So, movies and knitting are on tap for today! And the treadmill!

Some Updates - Finally!!

Hi all!! Happy

New

Year!! We had some crazy weather in Palmdale. Here are the pictures from that fun

day..... It snowed for 12 hours (which compared Seattle is nothing - but the Seattle trip is tomorrows post)

We took dogs out for a walk they had so much fun even if the snow came up to their bellies!!!!

My Peanut!!

Crackerjack!!! (Peanut's sister)

Hello one and All!!!!

Off to the dog park. Of course Max thinks the center is for him and Baby thinks she needs to be there also!! The result is..... Precious knows where her place is sitting on mommy!!! She hates the sweater I made for her! Well, that is until we actually got to the dog park and it was freakin' freezing!!!!!!
Honey and I will be celebrating 5 years of togetherness tomorrow!!! It doesn't seem like five years. We have had our share of battles but mostly we laugh! Our middle daughter actually gave us a lecture because parents weren't supposed to laugh so much!!
I started school this past week, computer graphics. This is my classroom. Those macs are so cool!!! Honey said if I get an "A" she will think about getting a mac for me. (It's a debate because she is a Dell certified tech among her many talents!!!)

Here is Baby and me!! Aren't we pretty? I think I look pretty good for almost 43!!! (Actually, it turns out I am about be to 44!!!! - So I guess I still look pretty good for almost 44!!!)

I had to show this picture, Honey is under the dog, that's her elbow sticking up in the background!! HeeHee!!! Apparently it's Babys world we just get to live in it!!!

We had snow. Well, almost, missed us by about 500 hundred feet. But close enough. Here are some pictures:


Well, that's all for now! It's softball/baseball season, so pictures (lots of 'em) are coming. And I'm going to Stitches West in two weeks!! I cannot wait!!!! Eight of us Knottyknitters are going!! A girls weekend - NO kids - and yarn?!!!! Could life be any better!!!!

A really slow month!!!!!

They said we'd have a huge snow storm!!! Really? I don't think so!! I was taking a walk and saw the cutest thing! This dog is on the second story!!! But he can look out on a really busy street and people watch!!!
My dogs are very naughty!!! Sun bathing on my table while I am standing there putting away groceries!!!! It's always funny until the huskies decide THEY can sunbathe on the table!!!!! JK!!
School starts in just over a week!! Can't wait!!!!
