Scratched

Haven't been on my walk at sunrise all week

not getting enough exercise!

There was a time I used to teach a lot of fabric manipulation.

With nothing but snow and more snow to scratch about

my mind is wandering!

Thank goodness for Tuesday

Four of us gathered and made marks

then our handy hubby's joined us

and we sipped wine

and munched on black beans and salad.

A lovely, lovely day.

I wonder if the squirrels have been raising families in the snow this winter

there are SO many of them stealing from the bird feeders!

Strange that I decided to stitch a cruciform design.

Late that evening

Handy Hubby got sad news of a lifelong friend's passing.

On Saturday we huddled by the fire with no electricity

as the wind howled

blowing snow around the house.

Sunday was calmer revealing beautiful windswept snow piles.
