Parish Mission

When retailers are celebrating Christmas (there is always so much for which to give thanks, yet we seem to skip Thanksgiving!!), and there's some chat about Advent................our parish is on a mission to prepare for Advent.  This morning was awesome!

Found Halloween Decorations

 This is my early walk along the greenbelt (with camera on muted focus!)

 That tiny styrofoam gravestone in the water is from our neighbor's lawn on Halloween.

I retrieved it, along with another at the corner of our street, and parked both on his front step.

Fun, Fast Weekend

 Doc found the key I misplaced about 5 weeks ago!!!  Great karma.

 We have a scent of lavender, then peppermint in the sun room. 

 Jackie is wearing Doc's recycled shirt. 

This little boy will arrive December 24th or thereabouts.  I finished this before my hand gets tweaked, also hemmed Doc's new Eddie Bauer jeans.  The ladies in my class this morning said they would bubble wrap my hand to keep it dry!!

Little Barn in the Rocky Mountains

 Knitting in the round class is AWESOME!

As I entered the classroom, a gentleman was cleaning up after his 10 year old daughter's birthday celebration. He gave me the leftover confetti!!  Thank you, Dad!!

While I was working, Doc made more candles. Beautiful!

Bitter Cold Early Walk

 We had a few flurries last night.  It's 30 degrees but feels like 22; 100% humidity.

 
 
The clouds will leave and bring us sunny but cold weather.

Melting Snow, Brioche Knit Scarf

 Snow doesn't linger long here although there's more snow in the forecast ant it's very cold.

 I lot my wool scarf yesterday; today I'm wearing a design by Marilyn.

The purple will become my new brioche knit scarf.  The coral brioche might become a placemat.

We LOVE Snow
