An Early New Year's Resolution!

I am a bad Blogger. It has seemed such a hard thing to write often. But, I am inspired by Bud Huston, well known dog agility trainer, to write once a day. Bud promised us to write once a day for 100 days and now he has renewed his promise. I may not be as good at handling my dogs as Bud is his, but I can certainly add something to my Blog every day.

We had snow, real snow, yesterday. Depending on who says what, any where from 6" to 12" fell. I don't care about the amount but just that we have a snow cover over our well and sewer pipes. Snow is our friend when it comes to rural living. It keeps pipes from freezing and makes us happy. We haven't had snow this early in a few years and we are happy to have it. It makes it even better after we had the driveway blacktopped a few years back. Now it is easier to clear the snow off and the driveway isn't as slippery and hard to get up.

I had to go out with the Yorkie Girls this morning. The snow had drifted over the fence in a couple of places and they could easily have run right up and over the fence. Bo has started the fence moult early this year to keep up with it. Most of the girls wouldn't jump over the fence but our new girl Josse might. She flys through the air when she jumps and with the help of a snow drift, she could easily clear the fence at 4 months old. More about them in future blogs.

I have been enjoying knitting a number of different projects this Fall. None which I have finished but they need to be soon. I have to block my Wrap from a pattern by KnittingAtKnoon. It has been so much fun to do but before I put on the side edges, I have to block it. I am trying to figure out how to teach this project as a class and when I have that worked out, you will hear about it. There are tons of fun parts to it and with each one you learn a new stitch, plus there are lots of techniques and color play in it too.

Oh, I have to run. More tomorrow!
