Hey, Hey!!
It was above 20 degrees this morning! Flurries had been in the forecast (like we need more snow??), but no sign of any precipitation overnight. Snow and ice are slowly sinking down and there is a bit of melting. Fletch went out and did a little shoveling - he needed to make a path from the driveway to the side of the house so that our water meter could be read. We had a letter from our water company that they've been doing estimated guesses for our water bill because the water meter was inaccessible.
After a week of hit or miss mail delivery, my February Sock Squad yarn finally arrived yesterday. I love the main color but am not all that thrilled with the mini skein. But, I'm thinking of saving the mini skeins to make a scrappy cowl or shawl later (like next year after I have them all).
On this Unraveled Wednesday, let's link up with Kat and see what everyone is making and reading. I do enjoy Wednesday posts so much. Similar to my Appil sampler, the Family Socks are progressing in a slow and steady way. As you know, I'm on the last pair and the first of that set has reached the beginning of the heel flap.
The foot will be in blue once I turn the heel and then the toes will pick up the yellow again. I'm liking the color combination. You may remember that my thought had been to make Family Birthday Socks which didn't pan out. Family Christmas Socks did not happen either. And now it looks as though Family Valentine's Day socks won't happen either. No way I can finish this sock and make a second matching one by the 14th. But, that's ok. It will be fun to give them to C&M&I whenever they are finished.
Reading has been good. I did finish "Invitation to a Banquet" and learned so much about Chinese food and cooking. I also read and finished The Devil's Cave by Martin Walker. This is the 5th book in the Bruno, Chief of Police series and it may be my favorite one so far. It definitely was good to be back in St. Denis and in the company of Bruno.
Fletch and I are listening to Run for the Hills by Kevin Wilson after dinner and we are both enjoying it a lot. The narration is very good (usually that's a complaint for one or both of us).
Tell me, what are you up to on this Hump Day? I hope it is something fun.
