Another Snow Day

The water pipes are fine today, but we will have two more really cold nights, so I will drip water again tonight.

One of the “joys” yesterday was seeing the children in the snow, yes, but also the parents.

Out came golf carts to pull children on whatever worked–like the very thin boards that can skim retreating shallow waves at the beach. But there was a wide array of finding “whatever works.” And neighborhood dads participated in making sure lots of children had a try.

The local streets are still rutted with frozen ice where there was some melting and than refreezing. I wouldn’t take my car out on a bet, given that most folks here have no experience driving on ice.

This morning the detritus from all of yesterday’s play reminds us of all the fun in the snow. Most of our children were out all day, despite the cold. Whatever cold be used for snow play…was. Like these beach or tub toys.

My three youngest grands are still hard at it. The last video was them coming down a hill (hills are rare in this coastal plain) on single skis. It’s time for them to go to a ski resort I think.

And meanwhile, here’s another bit of joy from me:

Kalanchoe is now in full bloom!

And I have all four of my Wayward Arc projects finished. I so enjoyed hand stitching them.

I’m keeping the one on the upper left–it will go in my quilt room.

  1. As always, it’s so interesting to see how different your arc blocks are from mine. I haven’t posted mine to the class and may not get around to it, but they’ll be on my blog eventually. I’m glad to find someone else doing the class.

    1. Hello Zippy Quilts. Will go check out your blog. Thanks for the comment. I don’t do the class Zoom meetings–the time is wrong for me, and I really don’t like Zoom meetings as they make me so restless. But I do love this Block class of Tara’s. Did you do the first year? And my heavens, the month 5 block is going to be amazing.
