MaryAnn....Looking For Spring
The snow is still with us,
although much of it melted last week...
during our "intermission" from winter.
Intermission is over, however and we are in the second act.
We have jumped right back into another polar plunge.
Here is what MaryAnn has to say about that....
With crinkled-up nose,
she decides to stay indoors...
possibly until the arrival of Spring!
And now for the latest breaking news...
Guess who tangled with a skunk last night?
You got it....Bad Sammy!
And it was a direct hit!
Peeeeeee-ewwwwwwww!
Thank goodness for the handy skunk kit...
it gets used far more often than I would like.
And last...since you asked, Colleen.....
the knitting continues.
Present project: fingerless mits...one done, one to go.
I taught myself to increase on this project.
