So annoying. (but SO pretty.)

The biggest snow of the winter came Wednesday/Thursday.  Twelve inches.  TWELVE!!! So annoying.  I'm really just ready for Spring at this point.  But, you can't argue with its beauty:
Love that.

Don't love this so much:
That's ME by the way! Plowing the driveway.  Paul had an awful cold this week, along with an awful long week at work.  So, I had to offered to do the plowing (with him supervising).
It is REALLY hard to drive that thing.  Shifting and turning the steering wheel requires series muscle, in addition to working the lever to raise, lower and turn the plow.  But once you get the hang of it, it's kind of fun  easier to drive sort-of-but-not-really-fast and push the snow around. Don't tell Paul.  He might think I'll want to do the plowing next time....(I don't).

And to add insult to injury, just saying, "Ha, ha, not spring yet, but here is something to tempt you", these arrived in the mail Thursday:
My heirloom seeds from Beekman 1802!  Yes, you can look forward to "Gardening News" in the blog this spring.  I haven't had a garden for over 7 years (since before I met Paul!), so we'll see how green my thumb is.  Right now I'm obsessing over where to put it in the yard. And how to keep the bunnies out.  And the deer. And the groundhog.

Knitting News:
I finished my Dipped Infinity Scarf!
Taking a bath
 I got a little nervous when I soaked it -- see the blue-ish water on the right side of the bowl?  I though it might make the lighter blues darker, but it turned out fine.  See?:

LOVE. IT.  The color changes are so pretty and I love the denim-y look.  I think I'm going to wear it today since it is still cold and icky out.

And here is what I'm starting next:
More later!  Ha.  Just trying to string you along.  (Ha! get it? "string"????)
