Leap Day!

 Good Morning!

Welcome to the bonus day for 2024.  It's Leap Day!

My gosh we had strong winds last night.  It was howling most of the night.  I think both Mabel and I were a bit unnerved by the noise (Fletch said he slept fine).  I let Mabel out around 4:30 and didn't notice anything (it was still dark), but when I came back downstairs two hours later it was evident some fierce winds had been upon us.


That's the wood backdrop and (hopefully underneath the wood) my archery target at the edge of our woods.  I also noticed that the top of the cold frame is gone (I'm sure it's on the ground in the garden somewhere).  As promised the temps did drop (28 this morning compared to 58 yesterday morning), but temps are supposed to rise again and it should be in the 60's next week.  Up and down and up and down - enough to make a person (or animal) crazy.

Last night I did finally cast on with the new yarn from The Farmer's Daughter for a new pair of socks.  Just barely cast on!


Hopefully today will find me finishing the cuff and starting the pattern.  (And, if you click to enlarge, you might see that my stitch marker is a flip flop...anticipating warmer weather!!).

You know I will be celebrating my last day of work today.  Woo-Hoo!!!  No real plans other than relax, do some making, maybe a nap later (with a good book).  I took leftovers out of the freezer for dinner tonight, so even dinner will be easy.  Wishing you an easy day as well.
