Snow???

By -
 This Reindeer does not look overly worried about his big night next week.  We have snow predicted for Thursday and I am hopeful for a White Christmas.  I love a White Christmas.  

The UPS trucks are dashing through the streets these days.  I saw two of them nearly collide yesterday.  
This tree is outside a favorite local store.  It was getting dark at 4:15 pm yesterday.  Zach, home from the same time zone but different axis, cannot get used to the darkness.  He says it stays light until 7 in Mexico.  

He also says the Make Snow in a park in Leon.  People line up to throw snowballs, and they have to wear helmets....

I'm knitting a pair of TOAST fingerless out of some sock yarn in my stash.   It is mindless easy knitting; I'm still fighting this cold so it is the perfect project.  

Do you have snow?  Real or otherwise?

Only a tiny bit of snow here, but only in the shady areas.

I would not do well in the Arctic where the snow does not get above the horizon this time of year.

Yes, we woke up to about an inch of snow this morning! Maybe that's what's coming your way? Loved the reindeer photo! BTW the sun sets here around 4:20 these days and isn't seen again till 7:54AM. that is if it shows its face at all. lol

We only have a trace of snow where the sun hasn't melted it. I don't think we're going to have a white Christmas, but it may snow before New Years.

I like the picture of the reindeer too.

I'm ready for the days to start getting longer!

It's almost 60 degrees outside. I hear it's going to get cold this weekend, but nothing about snow for Christmas. Share photos if you get some!

80 degrees here, I would love a few clouds. Sweet reindeer, I hope she is resting up for next week!

No snow here --- no real snow, no fake snow --- no snow at all. :-(

It is in the 80s today. A cold front is coming through this afternoon so the temperature may be a BIT more Christmassy by tomorrow.

No snow, real or otherwise! I would love it though!! That's one of the few things I don't like about Texas. There are certain times of the year that just demand snow!!

No snow here on the Chesapeake. In fact it was in the 60's and sunny today. No snow in the forecast either so no chance of a white Christmas this year-just a muddy one.

We are getting some snow down in the valley, and Mt. Hood is in a bit of a blizzard! I will post some photos soon. Joy to you and yours:) xx from Gracie

We had snow yesterday, but the rain today washed it all away! :( I'm hoping some comes back in time for Christmas!

Thanks for stopping by!

We're still enjoying some warm days, but the temperature is dropping and I think Chicago's snow at the end of the week will be our snow by the weekend.

For my entire life, snow has mostly been imagined/wished for.

No snow! It's usually sunny (but chilly and sometimes downright cold) here for Christmas.

The nearly Thousandth post Contest

(just another baby legging in the image. Using my socks yarns a little differently) I think that blogger may not have correctly counted all the posts I've written. I've been posting since 2004 so I guess it is possible. I'm not going to go back and count them all. It says this is post 987. So we'll go with it. Im having a little contest for the milestone, but I have had writer's block since I decided on the 1000th post contest. So to take the pressure off, we are just going to do this now. :) I get crazy with pressure around events of all kinds. I just do. To enter: Please please please only leave a comment about this post on this post. Im much too flakey to search around differnt posts, afterall there are nearly a thousand (did I mention that number already? sorry....) Leave a comment telling me anything about Lace. If you dn't know anything about Lace, ask someone and share their knowledge. Do tell us who gave you this lace advice, to make it f...

Every Once in a While I Might Post

 Is that vague enough for you?  It has been a too busy complicated Spring.  I had no energy to blog.  All is well now, so I can share some things with you:   1. When I shoot photos of the moon I think of Dear Teresa.  Gone too soon. She took fabulous moon pictures.  2. I did not see one shooting star last night.  I only got up for a few moments around 3 a.m.  The local weather guy said he saw a few quick faint ones.   3. How can I can have one grown child in Oklahoma under flood watch, and One Child in Mexico under hurricane watch?  On the same day.  Tis true.  4. What have I knitted lately?  I am pretty sure I've ripped more than I've knit.  I ripped out a shawl that I was making up.  It was cotton and pretty.  I need to follow a pattern.  5. I was trying to make socks and decided to make mittens instead.  I haven't worked a thumb in a long time.  I may have to frog it too.  So I ha...

Dear buddy nurse and spay neuter pal Linda, came to visit yesterday.  We knitted. We laughed.  We shared books we are reading. She Showed me her scarf.  It looks like a shawl but it is a scarf. Here is her yarn choice. And the( OUCH) price.   It makes her happy to knit.  If Linda's happy I'm happy.  I dont' know the pattern and neither does she.  Her dog literally shredded her pattern.  She was at a point where she had memorized the easy part and she's nearly finished.  So there you go, anyone know the pattern? You are all so sweet about the move and the house. This morning I got my cuppa joe and headed to the porch to write you.  In the distance, my nearest neighbor, whom I can see through some trees.... well one of their teens came out, stretched, peed on their lawn casually, and then laid in his hammock for 5 minutes.  I'm sure he's not the first boy to do this.  I'm not even sure he's the...
