Did you notice I managed not to use the word "snow" in my post title as I did in the last four post titles? [False advertising since that is my main topic this week!]
One: Wonderment!
 |
| Joy looking in wonder at our 6+ inches of snow! |
 |
| A wonderful view from my room. |
 |
| The front pond hiding under snow beyond our driveway. |
 |
| A view of the back pond my youngest son, Tim, took. |
Two: Sledding
 |
| The walking sticks my sisters gave me came in handy! |
 |
| Some men in our household made a sled launch! |
 |
| Dad and Hayley slide! |
 |
| Rose and Dad made it down the hill and Molly is hiking up to be next in line. |
Three: Window Views and Friends
 |
| The morning after the storm. |
 |
| A geranium blooming as the snow fell. |
 |
| Rosie kissing Sarah's cheek while they modeled hats G'ma B made. |
 |
| Before the storm I met with friends and we exchanged gifts. |
Four: Making
 |
| Quilt guild squares I was given to arrange years ago. |
 |
| What colored squares shall I put between these squares? |
 |
| A hat for baby Sebastian that Lavender Lamb reluctantly modeled. |
 |
| Sebastian and his mom visited before flying to be with their Army dad/husband. |
 |
| I started with a magic loop, six double crochets in it, *chain two and two double crochets in each of the six stitches, slip stitch at the end of the row into top of chain stitch* repeat between * until crown is desired size, then double crochet in each stitch until the hat is the size you desire. [I did five rows.] Then I made ear flaps on either side of the hat by making a row of four double crochets, chain one turn and make three double crochets, chain one turn and make two double crochets then chain until tie is desired length. |
Five: Hearth and Home
 |
| The teapot Betsy gave me last year is often full of tea. I still marvel at the gorgeous doily in the middle that she made for me years ago, and I have started knitting a dishcloth with pretty cotton yarn she sent me...such a generous talented friend! |
 |
| Now " the moon on the crest of the new fallen snow |
 |
| gives the luster of mid-day to objects below." Thanks again Amy for the Five on Friday Link from your blog Love Made My Home. I am looking forward to reading what Fives others have posted about. I have had some more technical difficulties with my blog this week so I ended up deleting the link badges I had on the right for Amy's Five on Friday and Jennifer's Winter Project Party until I can resolve the difficulties I had. Have you been challenged by difficulties or amazed by wonders lately? Gracie xx |
