Finished scarf

⛄     ⛄     ⛄

Got a late start walking this morning at 7:40.

The temperature was 18 degrees with snow showers and a bit windy

but as windy as yesterday.

Went to the post office first and mailed off my Christmas cards

and then walked around town.

Made my way to both cemeteries and around the ball park loop too.

Stayed off the main roads for the most part because

snow plows were moving along plowing and putting down gravel

and I didn't want to get in the way.

Didn't see any people about but someone was walking earlier

because I saw two sets of footprints.   

One of them I noticed was wearing ice grippers.

Also saw tracks of birds, deer, rabbits, and a chipmunk.

For about a half hour the snow stopped and I saw blue sky.

Then the sky filled with clouds again it it started snowing.

Walked 6 miles

Puttered around home today. 

Finished knitting my Mom's scarf.  It is so soft I think I'm going to 

knit one for myself too, but mine will be not as wide and longer.

I thought my Mom would like the shorter one.

Did some more baking, another batch of Chocolate Chippers.
Got some laundry done.
Now that I can't hang my laundry outside I have been hanging
them inside down in the basement.
We have the other pellet stove going down there so it is warm
and dries the clothes nicely.

Found time for a little reading and we have started Puzzle #5.
Another 500 piece one.  Puzzles 3 and 4 and now 5 have all been from one box
with a bunch of different ones in it, all in separate plastic bags.
I think there are 10 of them.

Seems like a good day to make pizza so I have the bread machine 

making the dough now and we'll have that for supper.

A happy day to you.

Melanie - We take the puzzles apart and put them back in the box for next time. : )

I've saved two puzzles and they hang on the wall.  A cow scene one and one of birds sitting on a fence.
