Sunday Snapshots (of playing in the snow)

Marie HaighLeave a comment

The first snow fell on Tuesday.

From the moment we woke up, Elly begged to go outside and play in the snow. Not a morning person, I insisted on breakfast, tea and warm clothes first.

Finally, Elly got her wish. The first thing she wanted to do was lay down in the snow and roll around.

Then, it was time to build a snowman.


(He won’t win any awards. It’s clear that I could use some practice).

After the snowman perished, it was time to build a bird’s nest. Except the nest was deemed too big for a bird, but it was just the right size for an Elly.

Elly hopes it snows again soon.

Booty from Pottstown Knit Out

Saturday’s snow storm only managed to delay the start of the Pottstown Knit Out by 2 hours.

I arrived minutes before my class started, giving the organizers a bit of a scare. But, I couldn’t resist taking Elly out in the snow. Once outside, I noticed my 91-year-old neighbor’s walkway had not been shoveled. Refusing to let her do it herself, I took my helpers over to clear her sidewalk and driveway.


I will no longer roll my eyes when Dan informs me he really wants to buy a snow blower. Shoveling snow is hard work! I fully support his decision now.

Back to my story of the Knit Out …. My class went great. All attendees agreed that charts finally made sense. It gave me such a great feeling.

Knowing I barely have time to knit these days, I did not buy any of the gorgeous yarns seen. Instead I bought me a new knitting bag.

Isn’t it wonderful? It’s handmade by Ruth Raisner. Get your Phillies bag here.

Go Phillies!
