More Snow; Quick Melt

We received 5 inches of new snow; the first couple of inches melted when it landed on warm cement.  
Doc snow blows ours and neighbor's driveways. 

The greenbelt is gorgeous after a snowfall. 
This was early afternoon and more than half had already melted in our dry climate. 
This was taken at 4:00 PM; almost gone yet fun icicles dangle from the blur spruce and from the closed  umbrella!

Beautiful Snow, Healthy Fox Family

The best part of snow in the Rockies: it is gorgeous, provides moisture to our dry climate, and melts quickly in our glorious sun. 



 Mama Fox and her two babies are out playing today.  They are so beautiful.

Always Knitting: Socks

A lovely Etsy seller from Canada sells the above progress keepers.  I bought more to share with my knitting friends if we ever get to meet again. 
As a multi-tasking knitter, there are usually 5-12 pairs of socks on needles in various stages of completion.  The above are 10 pairs for 5 different family members.  I LOVE knitting!

Welcome Rain


We enjoyed a rare hour of rain yesterday, after Doc put down the lawn fertilizer. 

Early ground cover; you can also see the striped leaves of Star of Bethlehem. 
columbines
daffodils and allium
Our backyard is grateful for fertilizer and rain.

New Yarn, Happy Palm Sunday

Yarn haul from the ARC in Broomfield

 My first project is the Misti Alpaca socks for me.  Today I'll cake the other hank to turn it into a shawl.  

Positivity rates are up in our area so we are still home and safe.

More Snow

Gorgeous wake up!!!  It was so wet, so balmy that the first inch melted and the driveways weren't too heavily covered.  We LOVE snow!

St. Patrick's Day, Snow, Knitting


We still have a lot of our 25" snowfall.  Gorgeous.
As always, I'm always knitting. 


 We take at least one walk a day unless it's icy.  The greenbelt is a favorite path.
