Snow and cold

It is bitterly cold here today. Right now it is 17 degrees but feels like 11. That is better than what it was this morning. 6 degrees but felt like five below! It snowed about 1 1/2" yesterday. The sun is shining and everything looks clean and beautiful. I love the snow!

So what does one do when the road is snow covered? Weave of course! I brought a loom home from the studio a couple of days ago because I knew we would be not going anywhere any time soon. This is a black silk warp with a variegated orange weft. I am weaving three shots of the orange then one shot of a bit of sparkle. I think it looks better in person.

One week ago today I brought Beau home. So far Max, my adult livestock guardian dog, doesn't think much of him. Hopefully soon that will change. Introducing a new animal to the farm isn't always easy. It has worked out in the past, I fully expect it to work out this time too. This is Beau in the crate on the way home. Isn't he adorable? The former owners put the ribbon on his for identification purposes. My husband thinks he looks like a bear! I think he looks like a big fluffy ball of cuteness.

Until next time,
Linda
